Everyone take a chill pill.

First, the district is already set. Perry plays Leslie and Hazard gets Buckhorn.

Second, I would imagine the Perry folks didn't want to play Leslie and the Leslie folks didn't want to play Perry. Most coaches in that position would try to push things back to avoid that as well. I don't know that anyone should really want to play Hazard right now either - but pick your poison.

And finally, the 54th District (absurdly) seeds using Cantrall ratings. Those ratings are formula-based (to my knowledge) and take into account every game in the state. While it looks like Hazard had the better week before these ratings came out, you can't just look at that. Some teams Hazard beat accounting for Hazard's high score may have taken a loss and dropped their number. To me, it's hard to take any ranking seriously when Leslie beat Hazard twice - once on the road and once on a neutral court - and they were behind them significantly in the rankings. Leslie has laid a couple eggs and ended up paying for it with this rating. But they are just as capable of winning the region as anyone.
