Why go the long way Burgin over Mercer Mercer over LCA LCA over Tates Creek Tates Creek over Bryan Station Bryan Station over Holmes Holmes over Scott Co.

According to the box score it was a one point (I think) game at the half.

McCreary beat a 10-10 Green County team who was playing their fifth game in six days and McCreary was at home. Southwestern beat the Lincoln Co team that just beat McCreary by 15 or so last week. I'm a little more impressed with Southwestern's performance than McCreary's.

Southwestern was playing their fourth game in five days with the last three being on the road, didn't seem to affect them like it did Lincoln.

I don't consider East Jessamine a top three team in the 12th region. To me it's pretty clearly Lincoln, Garrard, West Jess. in what ever order you want to put them. E Jess falls somewhere in the next group that includes Mercer, Wayne, McCreary and as of late even Danville.

I agree with you that things are not typical in Rodneyville but it puzzles me why Wayne County would throw everything they had at Southwestern when it's very possible that the two will meet in a couple of weeks for a district championship. I understand that Wayne would want to get a win to get out of the funk they are in and that no coach would try to not win a game but I can't see putting everything into this game when it really only affects your win/loss record and may give your future opponent something to prepare for.

Oak Hill recruits high school players out of Kentucky (and anywhere else), Australia does not.

What Schools have made offers?

It's at Lincoln. Neither team was a favorite. McCreary has won the last two seasons but Lincoln has went to Rupp the last two seasons.

I don't think the two district first round losses were as bad as everyone seems to make them out to be. Two years ago they lost in overtime to a Wayne County team that had beaten them twice during the season and that game was at Wayne County. Was it even an upset? Last year even though it was an upset if you look at the last couple of weeks of the season when SW barely lost to Wayne, was in a close game with Lincoln early in the fourth and had McCreay down by double digits before losing by five. McCreary barely beat Williamsburg and lost to Green County, you could see the possibility of an upset coming. As for this season I haven't seen them near enough but it seems they just can't play consistently and therefore I don't think they can get through a regional tournament unless they get a good draw and/or luck out and meet someone who pulls a big upset in the regional.

2007 wasn't Lincoln's last trip to the State Tournament. The list is each schools last trip.

I thought Russell County went from the 12th region in 1990 or 91, maybe 92

If there are 256 schools in the state now (64 4 school districts) then that would divide evenly into 4 64 team classes. Then for each class that would be a 6 game tourney for two teams, a five game tourney for two other teams, a four game tourney for four others, a three game tourney for eight other teams, 2 games for 16 teams and 1 game for 32 teams in each class. I know there aren't exactly 256 schools but that's pretty close to what four classes would split into.

Not even close, Powell Co. hit 70-89 free throws against Shawnee in 1972. 55 free throws is tied for 8th. The 30 free throws made and 37 attempts by Polson I think are new state records for a game by an individual.

Do the teams only play each other once for district seeding or do they all have three more district games to go?

This game isn't anything more than a regular season game now. Unless you think it's important what bench the teams sit on at the district tourney.

It seems in this region there is usually one "A" school that is head and shoulders above the rest and the region tournament isn't really much of a challenge to them.

Russell County by 23.

I think that is correct Now just where is the district going to be played is the question.

If I'm not mistaken Southwestern still has the upper hand because Wayne lost to Monticello. I think Wayne and SW have split their two games and I think SW has beaten Monticello twice.

Who does Boyle County play and what time?

Unfortunately for McCreary there will be no regional tournaments held in Jessamine County in the near future.

They are not problems, just games.
