I just a hard time seeing a team that has never even played for a
region title, playing for the state title. Time will tell I suppose.

This argument is constantly being thrown around on BGR so let's look at the facts. Since 1999 a team from the flyers region has been state champion 7 times, runner-up 2 times (9 out of 13 years). Six of those years they have been knocked out by Boyle, Highlands, or Lex. Cath. Only four other schools in 5A this year have ever won a state championship since 1959; Bowling Green (twice) 1995 & 2012, Shelby Co. 1987 (before Collins), Conner 1983, and Christian Co. 1982. Outside of Bowling Green this thing is wide open.
