Congratulations M'Boro! Winning that district is no joke!

[Jumper Dad]

If things go as they are right now Middlesboro is #1 seed Somerset #2 and Danville #3.
But that could change based on what Danville does next week against Frankfort.

Region Playoff Grid (Home Teams Bolded)
D7-1 vs D8-4
D8-2 vs D7-3

D8-1 vs D7-4
D7-2 vs D8-3

Somerset could only play at Middlesboro in second round as a #3 seed from D-7 or in region finals as a #2 seed from D-7 if they both made it that far.

That is for sure... one of the most competitive districts in the State.

Everyone talks about S.O.S but Somerset is the victim of their schedule. Their early challenges against top teams left them injured and depleted while also costing them non-district wins. Middlesboro meanwhile plays a little bit softer slate and as a result get a couple wins over pretty good teams that prove to be the difference.

Somerset now be a 3 seed despite playing the toughest schedule of all three teams and despite beating 2 of 2A's Top 10 teams already in fairly convincing fashion.

Even though not likely Danville still has a shot to win the district but all of their opponents that they have beat would need to win this week and next week coupled with a Danville win over Frankfort. Even then Middlesboro's opponents would need to lose most of their games this week and next.

It is probable that the Jackets will win the tie-breaker but not a done deal.

Somerset leads Danville in the tie breaker right now for #2 seed...depends on how beaten opponents do this week and next...if Danville beats Frankfort they will have more points than Somerset can catch up to.

[Jumper Dad]

Tie Breaker Current Points: coming into Friday

Somerset 12 (Southwestern 1, Glasgow 7, Letcher 4) Possible 5 more points, 3-4 points probable

Danville 9 (Franklin Simpson 4, Green Co 4, Campbellsville 1) Beating Frankfort would add 7...5 more points possible, 2-3 probable

Middlesboro 18 (Pineville 6, Bell 5, Harlan 1, Union Virginia 6) Possible 8 more points, 3-4 point probable

Do you get to count out of state teams?

[Jumper Dad]

Do you get to count out of state teams?

Yes, I looked it up on the KHSAA Web Site!

[WillBurg93]

So who is the District Champ ?

Looks like we won't know until the dust settles next week.

Here it is, if you guys want to know what the Bunnies will do, just ask me. Once I answer go with the opposite.

The points are only used to break the 3 way tie. Once the district winner is determined via (points) then the next step is head to head. If Midlesboro clinches because of points then Danville will be 2 seed via head to head win vs Somerset.

doesn't work like that. Only do you go to head to head when the points do not break the tie. The points will decide 2-3 place. All is on Danville /Frankfort next week.

You are incorrect. The point total is used to break the 3 way tie. If it doesn't than another non-district team is added to the mix. If it does decide a champion then the same points tie-breaker decides 2nd place. Head to head does not decide second.

Interesting. When was this changed?

I don't know when it was changed but here it is...

If the tie for the position involves only three teams, and the
application of (ii) and (iii) results in one team being declared
the winner of the tied position based on point totals, the
highest point total from the application of (ii) and (iii)
between the two remaining tied teams shall be declared to
hold the next position

Yeah, I looked it up as well. This actually gives Danville an outside shot at winning district jf they can beat Frankfort. In actuality I think Somerset is the best team in this district irregardless if they can get healthier. I still cant figure how they were beaten by Danville. It has been a very strange season in this district to say the least.

[BDC]

I agree, Somerset is the best team in the district. They have had major injury issues this year, but I hope they can make a playoff run.

[FlippedOut]

I agree. Somerset has a very good team. 19 seniors , a lot of experience. Somerset was the best coming in. And may be the best now. Playoffs and anything can happen. Going to be fun.

[SidelineShooter]

Middlesboro winning the district is a done deal.
Union, Bell and Harlan all won Friday so the Jackets are sitting on 21 points for the tie-breaker. 21 is the highest possible total Danville can get to even with a win over Frankfort and all of their other opponents winning next week, which could very well happen.
If Middlesboro beats Lynn Camp next week, the Wildcats' 3 wins replace Harlan's 2 and Middlesboro has 22. Even if they lose to Lynn Camp and every one of their opponents lose next week, the Jackets can add Grant County's one win to break a 21-21 tie since Danville can't add anyone else.
If Danville wins next week they are second for sure. If they lose, the race for 2nd is going to be very close.
Somerset actually has 14 points (they can add LCA's one win to Glasgow's 8, Letcher's 4 and Southwestern's 1). The rule says you can use any team not involved in the tie-breaker, not any team outside your district.
Danville could also add LCA's win if they were to lose to Frankfort and they would have 12 points.
Danville gets one point each if Franklin-Simpson beats Hopkinsville, Green County beats Taylor County, Campbellsville beats LaRue County and LCA beats Walton-Verona so they're probably going to be at 15 or 16.
Somerset gets one point if LCA wins, Glasgow beats E'town and Letcher beats Breathitt. They're looking at somewhere between 15-17 points.
If they wind up tied in points, Danville gets the two seed because of their head-to-head win over Somerset.

[E's Army]

Top 3 seeds from this district should move on to second round. I would bet the regional finals would be two teams from this district. But I have learned never bet on or against the Bunnies this year.

[Cellking]

Cong: to Middlesboro on a Great Season. I picked them 8-2 before season started. Cong: to Coach Lucas on Big Win. If Bunnies continue to get healthy don 't think either #1 seed will be looking fwd. to playing them. Go Jumpers!!!! Take this open date to get well and work out a few kinks.

[I Rule The World]

Middlesboro- 19
Somerset-13
Danville-9

Heading into the final week..
