Imagine Lyon County is the favorite. Newport is probably closer than most would assume. They should be able to do things I've seen Lyon struggle against as long as they don't get whistled out.

Evangel Christian is third and has a nice draw past playing the late games. Their leading scorer has been out the past few games too. Watched them early this season and thought they looked significantly better last March; very different in how their personnel can hurt you defensively and on the glass. They'll want to score a lot, but I don't see anyone in the bottom trying to play them above the 60's.

Sayre looks like a mixed bag. Lost to Henry Clay and Bryan Station at home by a total of 6 points in January but got smoked by South Laurel and Oldham County by a combined 40+ on the road.

Danville Christian, Owensboro Catholic, and Pikeville are interesting enough.

Could see Riley and the Aces slowing things to a crawl against Lyon in the opener. Definitely not calling an upset, just that it might not get blown open from the tip.

I'll take Lyon over Newport and Evangel over Murray in each of the semis with Lyon winning by 15 in the final.
