There is only two head coaches in the 14th that have won a regional championship, or even been to the finals (as a head coach) actively coaching within the region right now. You can throw the regular season games out the window, and ultimately I don't think either care about a district championship very much. They've both won regional titles as a district runner-up.

They're both long time sandbaggers, and they line everything up to put themselves in position to win region. Seems like everyone else is satisfied winning a meaningless district trophy and celebrate every time they win a single game in the regional tournament.

I'll be very surprised if it isn't a Hazard-Perry rematch for the 4th straight year. But it is baseball, and it's single elimination in KY. So anything can happen.

I can see Hazard sandbagging, but not Perry. I can only speak for Estill because I am an Estill fan, but every time Estill and Perry play, Perry throws their stud. Last year, Estill beat Perry 3-0 when Perry threw Cottongame and this year they threw Couch and beat Estill 1-0. That's 2 years in a row in which Perry did not sandbag. But I know that Hazard does it.
