PC had to play well all season to get the honor of getting a first round bye! I understand what you are saying, but to say that is the reason that the 57th didn't play as well at regionals is wrong. If you play well in the 57th all year long as did Magoffin this year, then you only have to win one game to get to regionals. It just rubs me the wrong way the fact that some other district besides the 57th won the region, so someone makes excuses saying that they had to win a game and that is the reason they lost. Well PC didn't have to win a game in the district tourney but they did anyways! MC played two games in their district tourney and guess what, so did the team that beat them Belfry! However, I do agree that they need a 4th team in the 59th and 60th districts, it just bothered me that someone was basically saying that is the reason that the 57th didn't win it!

Ok. First of all, I was not making excuses for the weak performances of the 57th district teams in the regional tournament, and I don't think I said anything about "why" they didn't play well. Second, my point in the post is that year in and year out 3 of the top 5 - 6 teams in the region come from the 57th district. You cannot argue with that. Go back and look at the posts yourself. If only you will admit it, the 57th overall is the toughest district to come out of. I understand that you are from PIke Central and that you feel they are being attacked; that's not what I intended. As I said earlier, they represented the 15th extremely well, and we all should be proud of them.
