Who do you think will win each of the four regions?

I'd feel pretty confident in saying Bowling Green, John Hardin, and Highlands, but that last one is a tossup.

I like Christian Co.,Anderson Co.,Highlands and Whitley Co.

The brackets are up on KHSAA if you want to check them out there.

Here is a question I have - the higher seed gets home field through round 3. However, how do they determine home field if teams seeded equally face each other in round 3?

I believe it goes by the district you are in. Even numbered districts on even numbered years and odd numbered on odd years.

 

Example district 1 vs. 2, district 1 will be home because it is 2009. I think regions work the same way for the semifinals.

This is exactly right. It goes by higher seed in the first three rounds, unless two equal seeds play. In that case, the odd district team is home. In the fourth round, odd numbered regions are home.

I think it is only done in 6A so that Trinity and St. X don't meet in the championship every year.

I think you are correct.

 

Wouldn't it be nice to not match-up with the same district every year?

I wouldn't mind seeing them mix it up in other classes. It gives us the chance to see other teams and stadiums.
