District Tournament Seeding

The season is winding down, and the district tournament is set to start next week. Both, boys and girls, have had great regular seasons. Both finishing first in the 45th district.

The Girls finished district play a perfect 6-0. They will play Danville (the host school) in the first round of the district tournament next week. The Lady Pats are the favorite in the 45th.

The Boys finished in a tie for first place with Boyle County. Since the two teams tied, they had to go to a tie-breaker. The first tie-breaker was common 12th region opponents (teams that both Boyle Co. and LC played against this season) at common venues. It came down to two teams. Both played @ Mercer Co. and at @ West Jessamine. Here's where it gets complicated. Boyle won @ Mercer County and lost @ West. LC won @ West and lost @ Mercer. So tie-breaker one didn't help.

On too tie-breaker two. The good old coin flip. And...... Boyle won that. Therefore they get the one seed in the district tournament. Which is a big deal this season, Danville is a dangerous 3 seed. Especially on their home court. The Pats will have to win for a third time this season against the Ads in order to make it to the 12th region tournament. Boyle will face a very weak Garrard County team (basically a bye).

Should be an exciting girls and boys tournament. People need to get out and support the teams next week.
