Russellville seems likely in the 4th, and CAL in the 7th.

Depending on the brackets, it should come down to University Heights and Elliot County!

LINK to the state tournament bracket

I'll take Elliot Co and June Buchanon to win it all.

Gallatin should be a lock in the 8th playing at home. I look for them to bring home the big trophy from Richmond.:thumb:

I would say Gallatin is the favorite for the 8th region, and a top 5 team in Richmond.

Considering Elliott has a good draw they shoud win or at least get close.

 

Have you seen Elliott's draw? Raceland is a vrey dangerous team, and if they get past that Rose Hill is capable of upsetting them. Then out of the lower bracket either Fairview or Bath will give them a close game. All five teams can potentially win.

I think Elliott is the favorite, of course, but I don't know if there is a good draw in this region.

Are you sure about Raceland they seemed over matched in the Lloyd Memorial tournament?

They are a senior dominated team and very athletic. They have one of the best big men in the region, and very good guard play. I think if Elliott overlooks them they may be beat. I also think Mayes is smart enough not to overlook them.

Fairview Eagles to be the upset winner in the 16th.:scared:

 

Could they be a sleeper?:sleep:

Gallatin should be a lock in the 8th playing at home. I look for them to bring home the big trophy from Richmond.:thumb:

Gallatin Co. should win the 8th since it is on their home court. They should win their 1st round game at EKU but I don't see them beating the winner of the 3rd or 14th Region (Owensboro Cath, June Buchanan or Hazard). Look for Hazard to come out of that bracket.

1-3 in the tourney, with the only win vs. a 3-10 team; doesn't sound like exactly a dominating performance?? The narrow loss to a decent Beechwood team wasn't bad though.

It's always been a co-ed enrollment of 425 or less in grades 10-12, or the equivilent for all boys or girls schools. I know they passed a change to try and get the smallest 125 or so schools into the tourney, but I'm not sure if that takes effect this year or not?
