So would this mean that Highlands vs JC would be R3 if both are victorious and No 1s? What notable teams are on the other side of the bracket (State Match-up)?

Seems like our side of the bracket is stacked (HHS, Boyle, JC, LexCath, CovCath, Bell?)

Here's the 4A breakdown:

District 1 - Calloway County, Hopkins County Central, Lone Oak, Madisonville-North Hopkins, Owensboro
District 2 - Allen County-Scottsville, Breckinridge County, Franklin-Simpson, Warren East
District 3 - Atherton, Collins, North Oldham, Spencer County, Waggener
District 4 – Doss, Fairdale, Moore, Valley, Western
District 5 - Boyle County, Lexington Catholic, Marion County, Mercer County, Taylor County
District 6 - Clay County, Knox Central, Rockcastle County, Russell County
District 7 - Covington Catholic, Harrison County, Highlands, Holmes, Pendleton County
District 8 - Ashland Blazer, Boyd County, Greenup County, Johnson Central, Rowan County

Here's the playoff pairings information (from the KHSAA website which I think is current but can't say for sure):

3) In each Class and Region unless otherwise noted, the fi rst place
team from the paired districts on the cross bracket chart will
host the fi rst round game against the fourth place team from the

the highest seeded position (fi nishing position in the district)
