Chaos in the 5th Region

Well then, I didn't see this coming...

--5th region favorite Central Hardin won't even have a chance at the regional tournament, as the Bruins were upset by John Hardin 67-51. Central started their season 21-1, but they lost three of their last six. Also in the 5th region (17th district, even), my preseason pick to win the 5th region (and the state tournament, sadly), Elizabethtown, fell to North Hardin 64-58. So it will be John vs. North in the 17th district final.

District Champions...

D4: Marshall County
D7: Caldwell County
D25: Male
D39: Mason County
D60: Belfry
D61: Rowan County

Also, 12th region power McCreary Central fell to Wayne County in the first round of district play. Central ends the year at 20-8.
