8th grade state tournament

Featured Replies

Starts Friday, how many will be in attendance?

 

Mayfield just won their regional tournament last night and are 31-2 on the season.

Lincoln is 34-1 unless I'm mistaken.

 

Should be a great tournament.

I can't make it down Friday but I should be there the rest of the weekend.

I will be there Saturday. I am looking forward to some good basketball. Good luck to everyone. This should be a great tournament!

OK, I have had a chance to digest the brackets and here are my predictions:

 

Final 16:

Meece vs. LTMS

LCA vs. Lincoln

Clay County vs. Elkhorn

Grayson County vs. Knox County

Sebastian vs. Farnsley

Hopkinsville vs. Eversole

Mayfield vs. South Laurel

Scott County vs. Southern (although I wanted to take Twenhofel here, I just don't know enough about them)

 

NOTE: There are some great potential matchups in this round. Saturday night be a lot of fun at the KBA.

 

Couple notes on 2nd round games:

 

I think Harrison County will surprise some folks and give Lincoln County a run. They have the bigs to match up on the inside and if they get hot from the outside, anything can happen. (Note: Harrison plays Scott County tomorrow night with the winner advancing to the Bluegrass Conference finals Friday night. So, I am assuming Scott County wins that game in that prediction above. If Harrison wins, they will obviously have to forfeit their play in game. My Elkhorn assumption is they will be playing Scott County Friday night and will forfeit their play in game Friday).

 

Wayne County-Clay County, Rosspoint-Scott County and Clinton County-Mayfield should all be good games. If Asher plays for Clinton County this weekend, that could change that prediction.

 

Final 8:

LTMS vs. Lincoln

Elkhorn vs. Knox County

Sebastian vs. Eversole (this bracket is by far the weakest in my opinion)

South Laurel vs. Scott County

 

Final 4:

LTMS vs. Knox County

Sebastian vs. South Laurel

Note: If the Final 8 ended up that way, the Final 4 could very easily be Lincoln vs. Elkhorn, Eversole vs. Scott County.

 

Championship

Knox County over South Laurel

 

In case anybody's wondering, I am usually in the bottom of the NCAA pools I play, so please don't take any of these to the bank. I definitely hope I am wrong beginning with the Final 8. Go Scott County!

Didn't Southern play in the tournament at LCA? Maybe I'm mistaken. If so, they lost to Lincoln's 7th grade in the semi's. I'm sure someone will have those details if I'm wrong.

Well, if Southern is not very good (and I really wasn't sure -- Scott County beat them by about 35 last year as 7th graders) then I would go back to Twenhofel in that bracket in my prediction above.

I didn't say that. Frankly I was surprised at the losing to Lincoln's 7th (assuming we're talking about the same Southern) because the game I watched them they shot the lights out behind the arc and put up 60+.

You mentioned it in another thread. These are 14-15 year olds, anything can happen from day-to-day.

Trigg County is 14-2 and can score some points. Not sure if they can keep others from scoring on them.

No doubt!:thumb:

I'm just throwing them in the mix because I know they've had a good season, but is Mason Co. playing in this?

Mason County is playing, but I don't think their 8th grade can compete. I have them losing to Southern on Friday night, then to Mayfield in the tournament bracket. From what's been said about Mayfield, I would say the loser of Southern-Mason County will be gone early.

Scott County and Elkhorn will meet tonight in the 8th grade Bluegrass Conference finals (Scott County plays Royal Spring in 7th grade finals), which means Harrison County (SC beat HC by 19 last night) will be there at the KBA. Also, I heard the KBA told Elkhorn if they didn't play today that they wouldn't be allowed to play the rest of the tournament, so Elkhorn is sending their 7th grade team tonight. 8th grade will be back tomorrow, so if you are watching tonight, ignore what you see from Elkhorn.

Scott Co. got a bye to Sat. didn't they or did I read it wrong?
