Kentucky High-School Boys' Basketball, 60 Teams Left

The Internet Is Amazing.™    

That's just a picture of a Google Maps map showing the 60 teams still in play for the 2017 Kentucky High School Athletic Association boys' basketball championship. I plan to keep updating the map at the link embedded behind this part of the sentence as results come in, which we can find at the KHSAA scoreboard link embedded behind this part. The labels on this post indicate where the 16 regional tournaments and state tournament are taking place.

I am rooting for McCracken County, Webster County, Butler County, Franklin-Simpson, Russellville, Clinton County, Adair County, Fern Creek, Martha Layne Collins, Paris and all of the other teams. Even more, I'm rooting for maps, roads, pep buses, basketball and hotel vending machines. And, most of all, I'm rooting for fun.
