I am not wrong. I am 100% correct.

It's called cross bracketing.

Boyle can only play Belfry or Corbin in the Finals, but Central's District is ON THE EASTERN SIDE this season (how stupid is that?).

Russell's district is on the Western side this year.

Next year Boyle's district moves to the Eastern side of the bracket and will be paired up with Belfry's district for the Region.

It is stupid... but it is what the KHSAA has set up.

It still amazes me that Russell, KY... about as far east as you can get in KY... is now in the Western Semi-State for the next two years. It won't happen, but imagine if Russell won their Region and Tilghman won their District? That is a 6 hour road trip for a Semi-Final game.

Thank you. I hate this cross bracketing idea. Imagine a school with almost no funding, like Fulton City, having to drive to the east side of the state to get crushed. I think it's gonna lead to some forfeits.

Heck was Corbin in western side for about 10 years? They didn't even lose a district game.

A version of this was tried before by the KHSAA in the early 1990's but was abruptly ended after only 1 year when Lawrence County had to travel to Mayfield. Louisa to Mayfield is over 400 miles apart. I believe that plan was nicknamed the Lawrence County rule or something like
