With District Finals still to be played the matchups are still up in the air but I thought we could start a thread on the teams that are in it and who everyone thinks will enter as winners/runner-ups. Also who do you think will be matched up?

 

Here are my predictions.

 

Top Bracket

 

Boone Co vs Highlands

 

Lloyd vs Covington Catholic

 

Bottom Bracket

 

Dixie Heights vs Cooper

 

NCC vs Holmes

IMO: District winners will be:

Holmes

Dixie

NewCath

Boone Co

 

Possible matchups:

 

Top Bracket

 

Boone Co vs Highlands

Dixie vs CovCath

 

Bottom Bracket

 

Holmes vs Cooper

NewCath vs Lloyd

How are we seeding them?

 

1. Dixie

2. 35th winner

3. Boone

4. 35th runner-up

5. NCC

6. Cooper

7 Highlands

7 Lloyd

My Prediction:

 

Winners:

Boone

Dixie

Holmes

Newcath

 

Runner Up:

Cooper

LLoyd

Covcath

Highlands

 

Match Ups:

 

Dixie

Cooper

 

Newcath

Covcath

 

Holmes

Highlands

 

Boone Co

Lloyd

 

That would be a great tournament, IMO.

Prediction after Friday games:

 

Cooper

Highlands

 

Llyod

Cov. Cath.

 

Holmes

Boone Co.

 

NewCath

Dixie

 

Holmes ends up with bad draw with losing badly to both Dixie and Boone Co. earlier in the year and going to OT with NewCath.

Aren't the draws done by district? Meaning that say the 33rd draws the 35th Cooper/CCH then Holmes/Boone, then you would have the 34th vs the 36th.

4 winners are slotted first via blind draw. They then draw from the losers with the one rule being that a winner of a district can't meet the loser of the same district until the championship game.

 

I'm not sure if that's what you said or not.

I'm gonna go with the following...or hope for the following:

 

Holmes

Highlands

 

Boone

Lloyd

 

Newcath

Dixie

 

Covcath

Cooper

This has potential to be one of the best 9th Region tournaments in a long time. I think this will be a really fun tourny with some great games.

BTW, the group owes Walter a BUNCH for his updates. The best!

That is if NCC beats Highlands, I just don't know now.

I was at that first Highlands/NCC game and it honestly wouldn't surprise me if the Birds won their district.

As a fan, I'm hoping for four straight years, four different regional champions, if Dixie repeats or Holmes wins so be it, but Good Luck to Highlands, Boone, Lloyd, NewCath, CovCath, and Cooper.

What a crazy region this is turning out to be.

No kidding.

 

I still would be surprised though if anyone other than Holmes, Dixie, or Boone goes to Rupp.
