Unless the playoff system changed in one year, which I do not think it has, this is not the correct format. With the new 6A playoff system, the teams in one district will not play teams from another district until Round 3, which is the Regional Title Game. Class A, District 8 should look like this:

1. Pikeville/Paintsville
4. Jenkins

2. Pikeville/Paintsville
3. Allen Central

The winner of these first two rounds will play the winner of another district, which in District 8's class last year, was District 5 (Eventually Regional Champ LCA, which beat Pikeville, 45-14). Then the winner from one region will play the winner of another to go to Papa John's. Districts 5-8 make up the East representation in the State title game. Last Year the District 8 played District 5 for one Regional and District 6 played District 7 in another Regional. Last year, LCA won the Dis. 5/8 Regional and Hazard won the Dis. 6/7 Regional and they met in the State Semis where LCA prevailed.

The only thing I'm confused about is the rotation of Districts playing each other. I understood that, for example, Class A District 8 will play Class A District 7 this year in one regional instead of Class A District 5. Obviously they could play District 6 too, but I have no idea how they match them up. Does anyone have a link?

Here is a link of last years playoff format and results:

6A stay the same from last year. But 1A - 5A go back to the old. Districts 1 play Districts 2, Districts 3 play Districts 4, Districts 5 play Districts 6, Districts 7 play Districts 8. They done that because the teams can stay closer to home until the state-semi.
