I still don't understand why there are some districts that even do a blind draw. That totally negates anything that goes on in the regular season. And last year the two best teams didn't even make it to the regional.

 

:deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse:

I do understand the idea of a blind draw, but the best two teams should be on opposite sides of the bracket. I agree with Theoldman12 in that's why they have the All "A" Classic.

Where's the 36 tourney held this year?

 

I believe New Cath, but could be wrong.

That's a pretty bold statement considering Highlands already beat them by 18.

 

I didn't mean to be so direct but I think Newport is just going be pretty hungry to get to the regional tournament and they have a team that seems to be very talented and capable of beating alot of teams and I think Highlands is a team they can beat.

The KHSAA won't go to the blind draw until it has successfully eliminates all three team districts. With the consolidation in Regions 1 2 & 3, it won't be any time soon.

But you're right, it will create havoc with the small schools..

It is a NewCath. I would like to see the district tournaments eliminated and just have one big regional tournament. Maybe seed the top 4 teams. It would be more interesting to play other teams in the post season than the same ones every year.

I've been advocating this for some time. The fact you can lose in the dist. tourney and still advance is just stupid.

That is for both Boys and Girls isn't it??

Yea I didn't think about it that way, but that's why they have the all "a".

 

The "ALL A" isn't even the "ALL A" anymore since they decided to allow some schools which aren't ALL A in the tourney. Unfortunately, what started out 30 years ago as an opportunity for simply small schools to compete in a statewide competition has now evolved into a tournament that is more about the money than the schools in my opinion. Otherwise, you would not have AA schools competing such as Newport, Lloyd and others across the state.

Yes, both boys and girls.

That's true, but you still see mostly A schools in the sweet 16 so I don't think it has made that much of a difference.

I like the District Tournaments and also think it is time to not allow the District runner up a spot in the Regional tourney. Just shorten it to 4 teams in the Regional tourney. You have to win to advance period.

When is anything not about the money?:idunno:

I agree but then again, how many times in the past ten years have we seen a district runner up win the region? I know Holmes did it in 04/05 and 06/07. In 06/07 they also advanced all the way to the state semi's as a district runner up.
