Is it true that only regular season district games count towards a district title? For instance, say team A finishes first and team B finishes second in the same district during the regular season, but then both advance in the playoffs and team B beats team A in the postseason. Is team A still the district champion based upon the regular season results, or is team B considered the district champ because of what happened in the playoffs?

 

Also, are games between teams within the same district only considered "district games" when played during the regular season, or are postseason games against teams within the same district also classified as "district games?"

Yes, regular season determines the district champion.

There is a regular-season title and a playoff district championship. In reality, Team B can come back and beat Team A for the district title.

There is no longer a playoff district title. That was only during the inter-district days that I think lasted only 1 year.

Correct. But was it 1 year or 2? I remember Garrard County playing district opponents in the first round in 2006 and 2007. One of those years might have just been the format, with the district winner being crowned before the postseason.

 

That "inter-district playoffs to determine the district champion" was a silly plan. I'm glad it went away.

The district play in the playoffs lasted two years, 2006 & 2007. It spanned the last year of the four class system and the first year of the six class system.

I forgot they got rid of the playoff district championship.

Here is what is at stake for local teams:

 

1A: Beechwood (7-1, 2-0), Bellevue (4-4, 1-1), Ludlow (2-6, 1-1), Dayton (1-7, 0-2).

Assuming Beechwood beats Ludlow, Bellevue would likely get the No. 2 seed and a first-round home game whether it beats Dayton or not. Bellevue would clinch the two seed outright with a win and has a huge edge in the numbers if there is a three-way tie for second at 1-2. Dayton could get second or third by beating Bellevue.

Should Ludlow pull the huge upset, Ludlow would get the top seed unless Bellevue wins as well, creating a three-way tie. Beechwood has a huge edge in the tiebreaker there.

 

2A, District 6: Newport Central Catholic (8-0, 3-0), Holy Cross (6-2, 3-0), Newport (4-5, 1-2), Lloyd (3-5, 1-2), Brossart (3-5, 0-4).

The seeds will be decided at Newport Stadium this weekend. The Lloyd/Newport winner Friday will be the three seed and the loser the four. Holy Cross and NewCath will play Saturday for the district title, with the loser getting the two seed and a first-round home game. Brossart is eliminated from playoff contention.

 

4A: Highlands (8-0, 4-0), Covington Catholic (6-2, 2-1), Holmes (4-4, 2-1), Harrison County (1-7, 0-3), Pendleton County (1-7, 0-3).

Highlands is the district champ. Holmes and Cov Cath meet Saturday for the two seed and a first-round home game, with the loser being the three seed. Harrison or Pendleton will at best be a 3-7 playoff team.

 

6A: Campbell County (3-5, 3-0), Ryle (5-3, 2-1), Dixie Heights (3-5, 2-1), Boone County (5-3, 1-2), Simon Kenton (2-6, 0-4).

Usually it takes an abacus, a slide rule and a book by Pythagoras to figure out this district, but not this year. Although many combinations of two-way ties are possible, the seeds are easy to sort out because of head-to-head results.

No matter who wins the Campbell/Boone game, Campbell is the district champ and Boone the four seed. Ryle and Dixie Heights will play Friday for the two seed and first-round home game, with the loser being the three seed. SK finishes in fifth place and under the KHSAA realignment plan will be slotted as the fourth seed in District 2. SK will travel to national power Louisville Trinity in the first round of the playoffs.
