So the first round of the state tournament looks like this:

(6) Lou. Trinity v. Owensboro
(2) Scott Co. v. Fleming Co.
Campbell Co. v. Johnson Cent.

Thursday, March 20:
McCracken Co. v. (10) Wayne Co.
Knott Co. Cent. v. Bowling Green
Bardstown v. (8) Lou. Pleasure Ridge Park
Clay Co. v. (4) Cov. Catholic

I think this is a very interesting draw that separates the favorites in a way that should set up some spectacular games in the later rounds of the tournament.
