Not really sure what this means or who it's directed towards but once again, in Boyle Co's case we were slated to travel for Region title and semistate in back to back years and maybe again in 2019 after the realignment. I'm sure there are other teams in the same boat because of the cross bracketing mess. So this remedies this problem. You never heard me complain what we were facing next season, in fact, I was looking forward to the challenge and confident we would pull it out.

I gotta admit it'll be nice to be able to let our kids have a chance to play in front of the home town crowd for a chance to go to UK and defend our title.

It means exactly what you think it means. I agree that cross bracketing was stupid and I think this is more stupid. This doesn't fix cross bracketing, getting rid of cross bracketing is the only thing that will fix that. The seeding process will mean that the "darlings" of the state will never have to go on the road again for a semi state game. While I think Boyle benefits the most from it this season, my mind goes more to teams like Trinity, Mayfield, highlands (up until a few years ago), etc. Trinity will never go on the road for a semi state game again till this is changed. In most years neither will most of the perennial powers in the state. To be honest it won't make much of a difference as far as the outcomes of those trinity games go. I still think kids deserve a chance to play at home every couple years. I also don't like that teams won't know who they're playing Friday night after the region championships. How long will teams have to wait to know what the rankings are? Don't get me wrong Corbin will probably benefit from it too, especially when they get into 4a depending on who is there with them. I just don't like the whole situation, but last time I checked the khsaa wasn't asking me what I thought about stuff.

There are advantages to it as well. It increases the likelihood that the finals games good matchups, which will draw even more people to Lexington.
It puts more importance on playing a good schedule and winning games against tough teams. I do think it will bring a little more excitement to the title experience for the casual fan. It's not all bad, I just prefer the way it was before cross bracketing.
