As a fan of South, I find this draw to be ok. Would have preferred to seen the 7th on the other side of the bracket. Trinity is playing great ball, but they will be challenged by Waggener in the regional tournament I suspect.

The eighth is hard to nail down. Could be Collins, Oldham, South Oldham, Simon Kenton or Walton Verona. OC is my darkhorse. John Hardin and GRC will be the other first round I believe

You're right about the 8th, any of those teams could certainly win it. History says smart money would be on Collins or one of the Oldham schools though. Anderson County in 2009 is the only team outside of Shelby or Oldham County to win the 8th since 2005 when the Bullitt County schools and Scott County were still in the region. Simon Kenton has made the finals once or twice I believe, but Walton-Verona hasn't won a game in the regional tournament going back to at least 1998. It will be interesting to see if the schools from the north end of the region can finally break through.
