North Oldham sure didn't get to hoist a state runner up banner either.

No, Greenwood did, but same difference. Don't confuse State-Runner Up with 2nd best team in the state. Notre Dame, Newport Catholic both would have beaten Greenwood the way Assumption did. Do you know how many good teams there are in Region 9 that didn't make it to state that would have trounced most of the other Regional winners? Mercy got upset, but that was the only misfire.

Only 6 schools have EVER been crowned champions in the 33 year old state tourney - and they are all in Regions 6,7, and 9. Those regions are full of good teams who don't get a shot. Quit running the tournament on blind draws and geography and let the talented teams in.
