Madison Central vs. Berea Community

 

Madison Southern vs. Model

 

Of course Madison Central should and will win this district fairly easily, I do think the game betweem Model and Madison Southern will be a very good game. Model won the only meeting a few weeks ago, but Southern has gotten much better and looks totally different now that the Rothermel kid is back to rebound and play defense. People I think have forgotten that Shane Buttry was the 11th Region coach of the year a couple of seasons ago and even though his overall talent is down he continues to have competative teams which is a tribute to his ability to get the most out of his kids. I wish the 44th district would go to a draw, but Model and Berea will NEVER do that. Good luck to the Eagles and I hope you are the other team that represents the 44th district.

The draw has been this same for the past 5 years...

You are 100% correct, and to be honest with you they should just seed the 44th. Madison Southern is the only school to play all the 44th district opponents during the regular season, and I think all 4 schools should and just seed. Yes I am aware that mean in most year Central and Southern are your 1 and 2 seeds, but take for instance last year Berea was the 2nd best team and should have gotten to go to the 11th region tournament but they played Central in the first round. This year Model is the 2nd best team in the district according to record and by beating Southern, but if Model had drawn Central they would be crying about it. Just seed the district and be done with it.

Is there a reason that the KHSAA doesn't mandate all districts to seed? Seems like it should be consistent throughout the state in my opinion. I think they should all play each other twice, counting both games for seeding purposes.

Would Central vote for something like that in the 44th? I'm not sure Feldhaus would want to waste 4 games on Model and Berea.

How exactly do you figure Berea was the 2nd best team last year when Model beat them twice?

Central and Southern always vote to seed. Model and Berea vote to draw...

Excellent point- it seems like the draw has worked out the right way over the past 5 years, as you mentioned in an earlier post. It would be nice to see it seeded though.

There is rumor of a new high school in Madison Co. coming soon...maybe that will create a seeded district.

I've been hearing that rumor for a while. State budget cuts would make that pretty hard. EKU's budget was cut by 6.5% this year...

The results will be the same too. This district has to be one of the weakest districts in the state; especially compared to the other three districts in the 11th. Madison Central wins this district every year. Southern will occasionally have a competetive team but Berea and Model just can't compete with Central. Not trying to knock anyone, just stating a fact.

I don't think anyone has said anything different.

Yeah, nobody argues this. I do know a few years ago the 44th was trying to get out of the 11th region and move into the Region the East and West Jessamine are in (not real sure which one), but the state said no. The point I was making about Berea from last year was the fact out of all the teams in the district last year Berea played Central tougher than Southern and Berea actually beat Southern kind of like Model beat them this year. Anyway, districts need to seed, I hate when teams go to the region that don't really deserve. You deserve it by beating somebody. All of you have made great points about this. As far as a new high school in Madison Co., it might happen, but it has been talked about for 10 or 15 years. I believe it when I see it.
