Lots of goods teams outside that region. Not to take away from their success. But they haven’t played much Competition

They’ve defeated Louisville Butler, Warren Central, Trinity (at Transylvania), Clark Co in Winchester, Madison Central in a tournament at Clark Co, Mason Co in Maysville, Johnson Central in Paintsville, the number 3 rated team in West Virginia, Union Co, Woodford County. That’s a pretty good schedule. Better than what about any team plays East of I-75.
Also, and I realize scrimmages in the summer don’t mean all that much, but last summer they beat Lexington Catholic and Ballard and lost by 1 point to John Hardin. And that was without 2 starters.

So this team is a little better than what most on this thread are indicating.
I admit they have been in a little bit of a slump in their outside shooting, which is a powerful weapon for them because all 5 starters are very good from behind the arc, but they shot it well in the last game, making 13 treys.
I believe they will win the 16th but I agree that the region winner has one of the toughest draws they could have gotten.
We’ll just have to see how it all plays out.
