[TD Hounds]

Central and Corbin will play in the final 4. As an avid fan you heard it here first.

Actually I predicted Corbin in Week 3......But you definately are the first to say Central but I'll admit that ToWhomTheBellTrolls was the first to say Corbin would go 10-0 or 9-1 this year....

i tried to tell you guys .. year of the hound .. got all the drama out

I thought you where trying to play sarcastic mind games and I’m still not totally convinced….

...   That's the razor thin RPI margin that has Boyle Co. rated #2 in RPI in 4A  and  Lexington Catholic #3 .   Think about how close that is !!!    If any one of LC's opponents or any one of LC's opponents' opponents had won one more game at any point throughout the season, Catholic's RPI would have eclipsed Boyle's.

Why is this relevant????    Because , as it stands,  Lex Cath, who defeated Boyle this season to claim the #1 seed in  District 6, will likely have to travel to Boyle County in Round 3 of the playoffs.   That's what  48 one hundred thousandths (that's 48/100,000) in RPI differential can mean.  Now, personally, I think Boyle would win a second matchup with Lex Cath even if it was played in Lexington again. But you have to think the Knights chances to beat Boyle again would be better on their home turf.

Yes, every single game of the season matters when it comes to RPI and playoff positioning. EVERY. SINGLE. GAME.

Here's the likely path( assuming chalk in each round) for both teams if they want to get to Kroger Field.  I know, Hoot's gonna blow a gasket. lol

LEX CATH PATH TO KROGER :

vs. Scott
vs  Holmes
@  Boyle
vs Warren East
vs Corbin at Kroger Field



BOYLE COUNTY PATH TO KROGER :

vs Rowan County
@ Boyd County
vs Lex. Catholic
vs Warren East
vs Corbin at Kroger Field


Btw, the #1 RPI-rated Redhounds path is likely to be:

vs Harlan County
vs Letcher County Central
vs Johnson Central
vs Spencer County
vs Boyle/Lex Cath  at Kroger Field


Let the fun begin !!!!

Nice post and sceharios. No matter what, in 4A once you hit 3rd round, HOLY COW! If your team isn't playing that Friday it's time to get to a game somewhere. Nothing is easy in that 3rd round.

And it shouldn’t be like this, teams with one win on the season should not be in the playoffs.  I’m not saying we should go back to the old 4 class system but 5 classes would be better than what we currently have…
