I’m pulling for the Titans to make it 4 out of 5! This one would get them to Rupp, which the other 3 did not. NKU was a very good host, but nothing like Rupp for these kids to work for. Good luck/health to all teams, in what should be a great tournament!

Cards playing some good ball, at the ideal time of year. The lumps they took early, would seem to me to have paid off! Good luck both teams in regionals!

I think it’s just as likely Mercer sweeps these last three, as it is that they go winless. Still only the the Rock loss within the region for Mercer, is solid. Even if Casey and SW both get them here at the end of the season, it’s a good year!

Region 12 has been and looks to continue to be one of the best girls basketball regions in the state. The region represents well in the sweet 16 with their team playing for a title in each of the last 3 years, winning two. Whoever comes out will be battle tested and poised to make another deep run!

Will he be a safety or wide receiver? I think his skills are pretty equal at both positions.

I wonder if the junior, Baughman, can take on more of the point minutes, when the ISO’s are not working? I’ve not seen the kid play since middle school, but he used to be pretty good at getting things under control and efficiently executing the offense.

What is going on with Danville? I thought they would near the top of the 12th, but so far they appear to be maybe middle of the pack?

Look for Woodford to make waves in the 8th this year.

About half of Mercer’s team played football, maybe more than half. Off the top of my head; Drakeford, Lewis, Yeast, Warren, Dunn, Walton, Caton. I may have missed one or two, but either way, that’s a lot!

Jaxon Smith can make a 48 yard field goal. He’s proven that when he was in the 8th grade. Curious why he wasn’t called on to try and win it?

Couldn’t help myself. There were 19 votes for Male, which means my vote for Tates Creek put them at 5%. As stated above!

CAL 35, DeSales 21

I would predict that whichever team comes out of the DeSales/CAL/Mercer county district, will win the class 3A championship. IMO this is the toughest district in the state, regardless of class. I would probably still have DeSales at the top, to answer the question posed by the treads creator, but couldn’t blame anyone for putting Belfry, or Ashland or Bell there, after last weeks performance by DeSales. Going to be an exciting playoff!

Collins handled West pretty easily this past Friday and as, most know, Collins is rebuilding a bit and not the team they’ve been in recent years. That being said, I would think a running clock by halftime, is pretty likely. 63-7, is my prediction.

7:54

If Mercer can have some success throwing the ball, I think they win. My prediction is 35-28 Mercer, unless it’s pouring rain. In which case I’d expect something like a 21-14 final. Very big opportunity for Mercer to validate their ranking, and I believe they will!

I agree with you completely, but would add DeSales at Mercer as another huge game this week. In this one, I’m with @Rebelstat again in picking Wayne in a close one, 31-28.

Final per Harrodsburg Herald.

I think most folks you talk to that are close to the team, feel this right here is the reason for so much turmoil. They do still have some top talent, but probably not enough to keep up with Boyle.

I know zero about Henry County but if you base a prediction on results, I would think Mercer would probably be considered a heavy favorite. I’ll say 56-14 Titans.

Boyle will score early and often. 52-14, Rebels.

Mercer was a little sluggish out of the gate, but obviously played good enough to hold the Wolverines at bay. I believe this game will give Mercer’s coaching staff some good film to keep the bar moving up!

56-14, Mercer. Reserves get a lot of run.

I look forward to this report every week! You never disappoint @gchs_uk9!

This right here, is more important to me than the huge win against a really great team! Thank you for bringing this to light. Very proud to be a Titan!! High character is very important and is drilled into these young men by all the coaches, but it starts at the top and we are blessed to have a great Christian man, filling that role. Add to that, our AD is an assistant and is a minister too, along with his former player son who serves as chaplain for our team. I hope these guys all see this, to encourage them that much more to keep doing what their doing! @ChiefSmoke you should be very proud of the impact your leadership is making in our young me! Thank you!!
