Region for Pikeville will be away next year and the semis would be at home. The only way possible to have both at home is for an upset in the district and the semi host to be a higher seed.
I'm interested in seeing who steps up to replace Maynard. From what I saw of him this past year he was a playmaker. That's what makes 1A so tough, you have to have players step up every year. A lot of things have to go the right way to contend year in and year out.
Another thing is the middle school program seemed to be incredible this past year. I watched them play 1 time, but those kids looked huge and could play.

Region and Semis Home are always the same, aren't they?

Even Year, Even District hosts Region. Even Year, Even Region hosts Semis. Since Pikeville is District 8, Region IV, they will always be on the road in odd years and at home in even years. A team like Raceland D7, R4 could host Region in odd years and go on the road in for the semis and vice versa.
