This is All "A" Tourney Week, with the boy's first round games starting Thursday in Frankfort. Who are the favorites? Interesting first round games? Who does everyone think will win this event?

 

FYI--Litkenhous Ratings for the 16 regional winners:

 

1. Covington Holy Cross......................86.5

2. Bardstown....................................84.0

3. Bishop Brossart.............................82.3

4. Glasgow.......................................80.7

5. Lexington Christian........................79.8

6. Barbourville..................................74.3

7. Buckhorn......................................74.0

8. Owen County.................................73.6

9. DeSales........................................73.1

10. Webster County.............................73.0

11. West Carter..................................72.6

12. Louisville Collegiate.......................71.5

13. Betsy Layne..................................71.0

14. Danville.......................................68.8

15. Heath..........................................64.3

16. McLean County..............................59.1

My bet is a NKY team, either Holy Cross or Brossart

Bracket

Bardstown is no slouch.

 

I think Holy Cross ends up winning it though. They have Campbell and Burger is playing well.

Hard to predict when I have not seen most of these teams play. I know I will be pulling for the Nky teams!

I'll take Bardstown......

^^^No longer appears to be Green-Yellow, which it was for years with Kentucky State playing many of their "home" games there.

Betsy Layne probably wins again. They have the most experience in negotiating mine fields.

 

Should make for low scoring games....I don't see any baskets.

Couple of interesting first round games I see right away are Bardstown vs. Lexington Christian (#2 vs. #5 in Litkenhaus), and Holy Cross vs. Barbourville (#1 vs. # 6). Bardstown/LCA winner likely gets #4 Glasgow in the 2nd round, with the winner of that game heavily favored to make the finals. Bottom of the top bracket and the top of the lower are loaded if Litkenhaus is to be believed.

Owen County vs. Buckhorn (#8 vs. #7) would seem to be a close one as well.

i think owen if they play to their potential could be hard to beat!

Covington Holy Cross.
