One and done: Boys' round of 128*

Several upsets last night among last night's results in the drive to the 2012 PNC/KHSAA Boys' Sweet Sixteen® State Basketball Tournament, which resumes tonight:

First Region, at Murray State University's CSFB Center--Paducah Saint Mary vs. Carlisle County and Paducah Tilghman vs. Calloway County tonight. Last night: Marshall County, winner over Graves County, tuned up its "white out," and, per Joey Fosko of The Paducah Sun, "tiny Fulton City — the smallest public school in the First Region — notched only its second regional tournament win in 49 years."

Second Region, at Madisonville-North Hopkins Senior High School--Livingston Central vs. Henderson County and Hopkinsville vs. Caldwell County tonight.

Third Region, at Owensboro Sportcenter.

Fourth Region, at Western Kentucky University's E.A. Diddle Arena in Bowling Green--Store away Barren County as a contender in 2013. Meanwhile, "despite giving it everything they had, and then some ..."

Fifth Region, at Central Hardin High School in Elizabethtown.

Seventh Region*, at Bellarmine's Knights Hall--This region is already into the round of 32. The semifinals are Louisville Central vs. Louisville Saint Xavier and then Louisville Trinity vs. Louisville Ballard. That second game pits the state's No. 1 and No. 4 teams in the Litkenhous ratings. "Simply put," The Courier-Journal's Jason Frakes wrote today, "these teams don’t like each other too much."

Eighth Region, at Henry County High School in New Castle--John Herndon of The Anderson News Tweeted this morning that he and his wife would be celebrating their anniversary at tonight's game. Happy anniversary to the Herndons (and the Cashes, who got married in a fever on this date in 1968 in Franklin).

Ninth Region, at Northern Kentucky University's Bank of Kentucky Center in Highland Heights.

10th Region, at Montgomery County High School in Mount Sterling--I wonder if
my main man, Darius Miller, has any superstitions about his current and former teams playing at the same time. Mason County plays Scott County in a quarterfinal at 6:30 Central.

11th Region, at Eastern Kentucky University's Alumni Coliseum in Richmond.

12th Region, at Pulaski County High School in Somerset.

13th Region, at Corbin's The Arena. "Coming in here your dream is to win three ballgames and get to Rupp Arena ... maybe next time ..."

14th Region, at Knott County Central High School in Hindman.

15th Region, at the East Kentucky Expo Center in Pikeville.

Two other regions have pared to semifinalists and are off tonight:

Sixth Region, at Louisville Atherton High School and Bellarmine University's Knights Hall in Louisville.

16th Region, at Morehead State University's Johnson Arena.
