Maybe in fantasyland the refs gave County this Game. FC beat Hils by 24 and 35 in the two games during the regular season and then by 33 tonight. FC won because they are just better than Hills! Hills deserved the Technicals they got. Cheaps shot, mouthing, they argued every call. That is what teams do when they are desperate, and tonight was just that. I will agree with the statement the Western Hills stood no chance, but it was not after the refs made or didn't make a call. They stood no chance when the game was scheduled!

It depends some on your region. I wouldn't want to be a runner-up in the 11th and have to face one of those champs in a 1st round region game.

Yeah go ahead and mail them the trophy. I am sure no one can challenge them in the wimpy 11th region.

Final in the 42nd District Final.

41st - Franklin County & Western Hills 42nd - Scott County & Henry Clay 43rd - Lexington Catholic & Lafayette 44th - Madison Central & Madison Southern

This is the first time is many, many, many years that Woodford County has not advanced to the 11th region tournament.

Western Hills avenges 2 regular season losses to beat Woodford and advance to play Franklin County on Friday night in the finals of the 41st District.

Final from the 43rd. LexCath advances to play Lafayette on Friday.

The are getting their work in. The school system is not killing the program. They had 75+ kids out for football last fall, and finished the season with around 30 players. I don't think that is a reflection on the school system allowing softball to use the weightroom a few times while the weather is cold.

Barrett scored his 1000th career point for Franklin County tonight against Frankfort in the 41 District Tournament!

The only happens when softball or baseball is in season, and football is not. It is because in the FC fieldhouse, the batting cages and the weight room are in the same room. If you have 50 football players, and 30 softball players in the same room it can get extremely chaotic. Football is not getting the shaft at FC. They get as much support as any other sport, and they are the #1 priority when they are in season.

Someone in a previous post talked about the award given out at Rupp Arena. that is what I referenced.

The KABC player of the year honor that is given out at the state tourney is for seniors only in every region. The winner and runner-up in each region are invited to play in the KABC East-West All-Star game that is played at Transy between the state semis and finals on championship Saturday. Here is the KABC website link, and then you can click on player of the year to see past winners: http://kentuckybasketballcoaches.org/

Wow! Scott County really beat Sayre! I cant' believe it! This is so shocking! Seriously! Did anyone really think this game would be close?

I watched Franklin County play all 3 schools mentioned above, and I would give the nod to Middleton as the best.

The 11th first round games are on Saturday, March 7th. Semis are Monday night, March 9th and the finals are Tuesday, March 10th.

I agree with most of what you said, but this last part I highly disagree with. The officials often "don't put their past in season and district and regional exeriences behin them" and call games with a chip on their shoulder and hold grudges because of those experiences. I think it happens both ways between the coaches and officials, and it is equally happen on both sides of the issue. Going out of region would ensure that these grudges don't affect the kids getting the best possible officials for their games.

You are never going to have the best officials doing the regional semis and finals, because of all the scratches that coaches are given. It is never going to be the top guys calling the top games. If you go out of region, you will get the other region's best guys for the semis and finals.

I know a few who are on the other side of this argument, and the sentiment is growing!

I am going to predict that LexCath doesn't get out of the Distict.

Will FC have any line-up changes because of senior night? I know they have 7 seniors, and 4 who usually start. What will their line-up look like tonight?
