Hazard's adjustment to the defense being centered around Maggard has been key. Earlier in the season they struggled with it and now the younger players are getting more comfortable with their roles. Still a young team and never know what you'll get from them but this is a big win for them. I am sure Leslie will go back and fix some things as well. Do they use RPI for their seeding purposes? Still don't know why the girls seed but not the boys (oh well).

They seed by Dave Cantrall ratings

I’ve never liked seeding by newspaper rankings. Our district used to do that a long time ago, back in the late ‘70s. Human formulas determining brackets instead of settling it on the court during the season.   However, Cantrall is probably better than a blind draw determined by a coin toss. That’s a terrible way to do it. Many years ago when we did that in the 56th in the ‘60s and ‘70s there were numerous years where the best 2 teams in our district and highly rated in the region (Lee won the region in ‘73 and Powell won it in ‘74) ended up having to play in the first round. You don’t always send your best representatives to the region in a blind draw format.

54th is wild.
Girls do Cantrall Ratings
Boys are blind draw
