SHS Future

You have to feel bad for Arkansas. They were the best team in the world series through 8 and 2/3's innings in game two, but the wheels fell off after the missed pop up. Game 3 was never close. Congratulations to Oregon St.

ESPN has updated their way to early top 25:

 

1. Kentucky

2. Kansas

3. Duke

4. Gonzaga

5. Tennessee

Somerset lost some key player that will be hard to replace but I still expect they will be a force in the region. I'm sure they have a difficult schedule again this season. Anyone know the schedule?

Would Judie Mason come back to the Briar Patch?

My guess is she will be staying in Danville since that job just opened.

I like Wayne County as my early favorite.

It is approximately 208 days away from the 2018/2019 basketball season and talks of 12th Region basketball are already beginning. I thought it would be wise to give the 12th Region their own thread instead of discussing the region on one of the team threads.

 

So, let's hear what everyone is thinking about next season in the 12th Region.

The Titans were one shot away from cutting down the nets in the 12th Region tournament this past season but lost in the last second of the game to Southwestern. Mercer County will miss Mr. Basketball Trevon Faulkner next season as he ended a historic career and will go down as one of the greatest players to ever put on the red and blue for the Titans.

Next season Mercer County will be building their team around returning starter and senior to be Carter Baughman. Baughman was the second highest scorer for the Titans averaging over 13 points per game. Mercer County will also have junior to be Kaelin Drakeford who saw significant minutes at the varsity level last season.

This past season the Raiders had a strong senior led team that lost in the first round of district to Wayne County in double overtime. They will graduate almost 80% of their offensive productivity from last season. Senior to be Nick Longmire (Averaged 10.6 points per game 2017/18) is the only player returning for next season that saw significant varsity minutes.

Next season will be a rebuilding year for the Raiders.

And then there were eight!

 

The district tournaments have wrapped up and the field of eight teams is set for the 12th Region Tournament. Pulaski County is the defending tournament champions and they are back again to defend their title. However, it is not going to be an easy path for the Maroons, as they will have a strong challenge every step of the way on their 12th Region journey.

Mercer County would like to return to Rupp Arena after being there in 2016 but losing in the 12th Region finals last season. The Titans got a favorable draw and could be back in the finals as long as they do not overlook the opponents in their path.

Could Boyle County or West Jessamine spoil the Maroons and Titans plans? Both teams are playing good basketball at the right time and are capable of making a deep run of their own. On the other hand, could a dark horse find their path to Lexington? Coach Woods and the Wayne County Cardinals have made that trek many times in the past and Southwestern is not a stranger to region runs.

Danville and Somerset make their 12th Region return after a few years of watching from the stands and would love to play spoiler. Somerset was last in the tournament in 2013 when they were 12th Region Runner-up. Danville has had a longer dry spell as they are returning for the first time since 2011.

We will find out in a week who cuts down the nets and claims the trophy, but in the meantime enjoy the 12th Region Tournament. It promises to be a good one.

 

 

12th Region Quarterfinal Matchups:

 

 

Boyle County Rebels (19-7) vs Southwestern Warriors (15-14)

 

The opening game of the 12th Region Tournament pits the 45th District Champions Boyle County Rebels versus the 48th District Runner-up Southwestern Warriors. These two teams have played one time this year with Boyle County winning the contest 73-62 back in early February. This game could be a shootout as both teams are solid from behind the arch. Hunter Stevens from Southwestern and Bryce Slone from Boyle County are very good shooters and will need to be on for their team to win. Where Boyle County has the advantage is at the point guard position. Jason Alexander is as good as they come in the 12th Region and for Southwestern to win they will need to keep him contained.

This is the second consecutive year these two teams have met in the first round of region play. Boyle County faced Southwestern last season in the first round of the 12th Region Tournament and the Rebels won in a close game 76-73. This looks to be another good game this week.

Prediction: Boyle County 67 Southwestern 60

Pulaski County Maroons (21-9) vs West Jessamine Colts (18-10)

 

The Maroons and the Colts will play the second game of the night on Wednesday, February 28th. Pulaski County was the winner of the 47th District and West Jessamine was runner-up in the 46th District. These two teams played one time during the season and the Colts pulled out a tough victory at home 61-59 in the last week of the regular season.

Pulaski County went on a terror in district play showing they are ready to defend their 12th Region title from last season. Both teams they played never came within 30 points of the Maroons and the games were never close. Keep an eye on Mr. Basketball candidate Steven Fitzgerald from Pulaski County. He is one of the top scorers in the state and when he is on, you can only hope to keep him under 40 points.

West Jessamine is also playing good basketball at the right time. They lost to a very good Mercer County in the 46th District Championship by 3 points in a barnburner. Dalton Bruner will be a focus for West, but for the Colts to pull this one off they will need everyone hitting on all cylinders.

Pulaski County and West Jessamine played each other in the first round of the 12th Region Tournament last season and the Maroons easily won 76-61. This year it looks to be a good game but if Pulaski comes ready to play, they will be tough to defeat. I look for the Maroons to get redemption is this game.

Prediction: Pulaski County 71 West Jessamine 60.

Wayne County Cardinals (19-13) vs Somerset Briar Jumpers (24-8)

 

The 48th District Champion Wayne County Cardinals will face the 47th District Runner-up Somerset Briar Jumpers. These two teams know each other well. This will be the fourth time Wayne County and Somerset have met this season. Somerset has won two out of the three games they have played 76-69 and 46-39. Wayne County won one game 61-60. Both teams know, of all the games they have played, this is the most important. Players to watch in this game are Jakson Baker for Wayne County and Kross Grundy for Somerset. Baker is one of the top inside players in the region and Grundy is the best at creating his own shot.

The last time Somerset and Wayne County played each other in the post season was in the 2013 12th Region Championship game where the Cardinals won 61-48. This year’s game comes in the first round and looks to be an evenly matched game. Wayne County is playing good basketball at the right time and Somerset is hoping to get back to peek form after struggling the last part of the season.

Prediction: Wayne County 58 Somerset 54

Mercer County Titans (25-5) vs Danville Admirals (15-15)

 

The 46th District Champion Mercer County Titans will be playing the 45th District Runner-up Danville Admirals in the final game of the quarterfinals. They played once this season back in November with Mercer County winning 77-62. Mercer County is led by Mr. Basketball candidate Trevon Faulkner. He is averaging just shy of a double-double this season in points and rebounds.

Danville returns to the 12th Region Tournament for the first time since 2011 and only the second time in 12 years. They will come into this game as the underdogs, but could surprise the Titans if overlooked. The admirals are led by shooting guard Jared Southerland.

You have to go back sixteen years to find when the Titans and Admirals last played in the playoffs. The last time Danville and Mercer County played in the post season was the 2002 regional semifinal game where Danville won 64-63. For Danville to pull off a win they will need a little determination, heart, and a little luck. Mercer County has not lost to a 12th Region team all season and this game should not be their first.

Prediction: Mercer County 73 Danville 60

Somerset has not looked very good for the past 2-3 weeks. Not sure what it is but they will need to get out of this rut or their postseason will end next game.

Pulaski County look very good! They wanted this game and took it right from the tipoff. When Pulaski is hitting on all cylinders, there is no team in the 12th Region that will beat them. Danny Butt scored four 3-pointers in the first quarter and finished with 27 points (I think). Steven was Steven.

The field is set for the 12th Region Tournament. One of these eight teams will move on to Rupp Arena. The drawing for the 12th Region Tournament will be Saturday morning but first the district championships will need to be played.

Final from Monticello. Wayne County came back from 12 down in the 4th quarter to win.

Wayne County 74 McCreary Central 64 in double overtime!

2017-2018 12th Region Final Update

 

 

The regular season has ended and the postseason is ready to start. Teams have been prepping all season for this moment. By the end of the week, only half of the teams in Kentucky will still be playing and the others will be turning in their uniforms. There are sixteen teams ready to leave it all on the court, but only one will be crowned 12th Region Champion. Let the playoffs begin!

 

 

12th Region Postseason Preview:

 

 

45th District Tournament at Danville

 

The 45th District will be the most competitive and closely watched tournament amongst 12th Region teams going on this week. There are four teams that could win this tournament with Boyle County being the favorite.

Garrard County will face Kentucky School f/t Deaf in the opening game of the 45th District Tournament. Garrard County had a 1-5 record in district play while KSD did not compete against district foes in the regular season. The Golden Lions come into the tournament playing their best basketball of the season. The Colonels have struggled to find victories this season but did find that win in their last weekend of play. These two teams did not play in the regular season. Garrard County should cruise to the next game where they will face the #1 seed Boyle County Rebels.

Garrard County and Boyle County played twice this season with the Rebels winning both contests 70-54 and 77-61. The Golden Lions have improved dramatically since those contests so this could be an interesting matchup. The Rebels have the capability of advancing far into the 12th Region Tournament but they cannot overlook this first game as it has the potential for a major upset. Look for the Rebels to win this game but it may be uncomfortably close.

The other matchup pits the Lincoln County Patriots against the host of the 45th District Tournament Danville Admirals. Lincoln County beat the Admirals both times they played this season 47-46 and 76-67. With this game being played at Danville it may be hard for the Patriots to pull out a victory for a third time this season. This looks to be one of the best first round match-ups this week with the best chance for a lower seed to upset a higher seed in the first round.

 

Prediction:

 

Garrard County 65 KSD 21

 

Danville 55 Lincoln County 53

 

Boyle County 62 Garrard County 58

 

Finals: Boyle County 58 Danville 54

 

 

46th District Tournament at West Jessamine

 

The 46th District Tournament will have the Mercer County Titans playing the Burgin Bulldogs in the first Matchup of the night. Mercer County went 6-0 in district play during the regular season and earned the #1 seed. The Bulldogs did not compete in regular season district play. Burgin will have an uphill battle from the start, as the odds are very much against the small school in this game. Look for the Titans to advance without worry.

The second game of the night will bring crosstown rivals West Jessamine Colts versus East Jessamine Jaguars. These two teams met twice this season with West Jessamine winning on the road in a close game 81-75 but easily getting the victory at home 78-55 over East. West has played one of the toughest schedules in the region getting them ready for the postseason. This could start out a close game but West Jessamine should prevail.

The likely match-up in the championship game should be West Jessamine versus Mercer County. These two teams met twice this season with Mercer County beating West Jessamine both time 89-77 and 80-73. Being a district championship game and the game being played at West Jessamine, this could be a very exciting game.

 

 

Prediction:

 

Mercer County 78 Burgin 37

 

West Jessamine 71 East Jessamine 56

 

Finals: Mercer County 75 West Jessamine 74

 

 

47th District Tournament at Casey County

 

The Pulaski County Maroons will open up the 47th District Tournament against the host team Casey County. Pulaski County has been dominate against the Rebels this season winning both games they have played by an average of 37 points. The Rebels have struggled all season only winning three games in this rebuilding year. If the Rebels were to pull off this upset, it would go down as one of the biggest in 12thRegion history. Look for the Maroons to advance.

The second game of the 47th District Tournament pits the Somerset Briar Jumpers against the Rockcastle County Rockets. The Jumpers won both meetings against the Rockets by an average of 29 points. The Rockets have only won five games this season after advancing to the 12thRegion Tournament the past two seasons. The Jumpers have their strongest team in years and should get their first postseason win since the 2012/2013 season.

Of all the district championship games, this one should be the easiest to predict who will be playing. Pulaski County versus Somerset. These two teams have met in the 47thDistrict finals three times since the 2006 alignment change and Pulaski County won all three. This season they split the regular season matchups with each winning on their home court. This game will be on a neutral court and should be a good one to watch.

 

 

Prediction:

 

Pulaski County 78 Casey County 45

 

Somerset 65 Rockcastle County 48

 

Finals: Pulaski County 76 Somerset 68

 

 

48th District Tournament at Wayne County

 

The first game of the 48th District Tournament matches the Wayne County Cardinals versus the McCreary Central Raiders. They have faced each other twice this season with Wayne County winning both games 54-48 and 57-56, respectively.

McCreary Central is 0-19 versus Wayne County since 2010. The last time McCreary beat Wayne County was the 2010 district finals. It has been even longer since the Raiders have beaten the Cardinals at Wayne County. The last time McCreary Central stepped on the Cardinals home floor and came away with a victory was over ten years ago on January 8, 2008.

But, this year was as close as the meeting has been in a very long time. The Cardinals squeaked by at home with a 57-56 victory just two weeks ago. So, is there an upset in the making? Quite possible. This has all the makings of the best first round game of the postseason in the 12th Region.

The winner of the Wayne County/ McCreary Central game will face the sharp shooting Southwestern Warriors. The Warriors won the district last season and would like to repeat as champions. Wayne County won the 48th District title three consecutive years prior to last year and the last time McCreary Central cut down the nets was in 2010. Who will win the 48th District title this season is up in the air as all three teams are capable of bringing home the trophy. But, Wayne County has been playing some of their best basketball this past week and look to be peaking at the right time.

 

 

Predictions:

 

Wayne County 53 McCreary Central 49

 

Finals: Wayne County 64 Southwestern 60

2017-2018 12th Region Weekly Updates

 

It has come down to the last week of regular season basketball in the state of Kentucky. District play is over and the district seeding is complete. Take a look at this week’s rankings in the 12th Region and also the district pairings for the postseason.

 

12th Region Rankings:

 

1) Mercer County Titans (21-5) – The Titans won two out of three games last week beating Lincoln County 65-51 and Frankfort 68-61, but lost at Warren Central 59-67. The loss to a good Warren Central team was the first loss Mercer County had since December, ending a 13 game winning streak. In the win over Lincoln County, Trevon Faulkner scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the double-double. Gunner Gillis added 17 points in the win.

This week the Titans finish the regular season at home as they host Woodford County and Southwestern.
