Tough draw for all of the mountain regions save the 16th. Maybe as tough as you could have made it on the 14th and 15th.

13th Region could have been worse (7th, 4th, or 11th), but only marginally-- they've drawn a region that's likely going to send one of the top six teams in the field. Get past that one and you've got the winner of the 2nd and 9th, most likely followed by the winner of the 7th and 11th most likely lurking in the semis. Should North Laurel get there, at first glance the second game, looks pretty bad, but it's encouraging that they've beaten Covington Catholic and that they played Lyon County extremely tight on a neutral floor without Chadwell or Davidson. It takes a lot of assumptions to even get to that point, but I'd have to think that they'd be extremely gassed if they were able to get to the semis.

Top bracket sets up very favorably for the 4th Region. I'd have to think that Warren Central and Bowling Green are very happy and that they would be favored against almost any team up there. 1st, 6th, and 8th are obviously in a good place for a sneaky deep run.
