Last year, the state title went to Pike County. But this year, Louisville is reasserting itself. Jeffersontown and Eastern both had very easy wins in the semi-finals to set up an all-28th District final:
Winners' Bracket:
Semi-finals:
Game 19: Jeffersontown (1) beat Chaparral (Scottsdale, AZ) 74-58
Game 20: Lou. Eastern (2) pounded Bowling Green (7) 75-46
Consolation Games:
Game 17: Sheldon (Sacramento, CA) beat Bob Jones (Madison, AL) 65-61
Game 18: Lou. Trinity (12) beat Boone Co. (21) 67-59
These results set up the following match-ups for today:
Final:
Game 28: Jeffersontown (1) v. Lou. Eastern (2)
Third-Place Game:
Game 27: Chaparral (Scottsdale, AZ) v. Bowling Green (7)
Fifth-Place Game:
Game 26: Sheldon (Sacramento, CA) v. Lou. Trinity (12)
Meanwhile, over in the Losers' Bracket:
Game 21: Lou. Pleasure Ridge Park 105, Pearl (MS) 60 (My guess is the guys from Pearl will be happy to see Kentucky in their rear-view mirror.)
Game 22: Lou. Iroquois 74, Lou. Fairdale 68 (The hosts didn't win a single game in their own tournament.)
Game 23: Warren Cent. 73, Lou. Male 55
Game 24: Bullitt East 62, Christian Co. 52 (This has been an extremely disappointing tournament for County, who came in as the number 3 team in the Commonwealth. The Colonels lost to Trinity in overtime, rebounded with a win over Iroquois, but were then beaten by Bullitt East.)
This means that the "Consolation Final" -- what I think of as the battle for 9th place -- will be:
Game 25: Warren Cent. v. Bullitt East
