As I understand it, the districts are intermingled in the first rounds of the playoffs this year. I think the first round of the playoffs should look like this:

District 7 - 1 Seed (Russell)
District 8 - 4 Seed (Magoffin County)

District 7 - 3 Seed (East Carter)
District 8 - 2 Seed (Sheldon Clark)

District 7 - 2 Seed (Mason County)
District 8 - 3 Seed (Pike County Central)

District 7 - 4 Seed (West Carter)
District 8 - 1 Seed (Belfry)

If Mason County beats Russell, you would just interchange Mason County and Russell...which makes for a considerably tougher road....Pike County Central at home, at Belfry, either at Sheldon Clark or at Mason County, etc.

You are looking at Sheldon Clark or Belfry playing Breathitt or Estill IMO in the semi's. Belfry and SC are more physical than Mason which could hurt Mason.
