Only one team from the 15th. 4 from the 14th. Not very balanced.

[supertrooper]

My predicitions for the tournment is either June Buchanan will win or Cumberland...

No, not in any order, just the 8 teams I think should have been in the WYMT

I doubt there are eight teams in the mountains better than Corbin and Shelby Valley.

Tournament officials determine the pairings. They usually do a good job.

You are likely right. However, the Tourney committee doesn't issue invitations to the Tournament. Schools apply to play. The committee then chooses from the schools who have made appliacation. Generally at least two schools from each region are selected. However, if the committee feels that there are not two quality schools who have applied, they can take more from another region which is apparantly what happened this year.

 

Corbin did not apply this year, I'm not sure about Shelby Valley.

That wasn't a criticism of the selection process, just with buzzer beater's attempt to pick eight teams that should have been there.
