With District 7 having homefield that means Pikeville or Paintsville will have to win a game at either Lynn Camp or Somerset...which will make it harder for the 2 teams to play for a region title. It should be a interesting season with Pikeville, Paintsville, Lynn Camp, and Somerset all having very good teams from what I have heard.

But if Paintsville, let's say, comes in FIRST in the district and wins their playoff game, they'd play the winner of the #2 seed from District 7 and the #3 seed from their district.

If the #2 team from Dist. 7 wins and has to play the #1 team from the other district (Paintsville), the 2nd round game would be at PAINTSVILLE cause they're the higher seed.
I'm pretty sure Dist. 7 gets homefield advantage if in the THIRD ROUND (Regional Championship) ONLY if both teams are the #1 seeds from their district or the Dist. 7 team is higher than their opponent.

You are right if that scenario plays out then Paintsville could host the regional title. That being said I will be shocked if Paintsville wins their district. More than likely the regional championship will be at Lynn Camp or Somerset, and I think Pikeville will be playing in the game. There are a lot of scenarios that could play out including a regional title of Pikeville at Paintsville, Paintsville at Pikeville, Somerset at Lynn Camp, Lynn Camp at Somerset, Lynn Camp at Pikeville, etc. My early prediction is Pikeville at Somerset.
