You can pencil in Gibson County playing Saturday.  Looks like the same draw as last year for Greenfield but you got to beat everybody to win the Gold Ball. Good luck to everybody, everybody has got a fighting chance once you make it this far. UCSportsfan will be tickled at the draw now that Clark Range gets a chance at Greenfield right out of the gate.

I hope you are correct! All the teams that are there are pretty darn good, but that is a brutal side of the equation. I was hoping we didn't get Clarkrange in the first round, but you're right....if you're going to win it, you have to play whoever you draw and win. Hopefully, Greenfield and GC will be playing Round 3 next Saturday at 6PM. We'll try to take care of our side as best we can. Good luck to the Jackets as well.

Gibson should be favored, but I definitely wouldn't say pencil them in.  Summertown is capable of beating any team in the tournament.

I'm glad GC got the draw they did. The other side of the bracket has 3 power teams in it for sure. At this stage in the season, sometimes you need a little luck too.

I think GC and Summertown got a better draw than Greenfield, Clarkrange and Loretta, but nothing is automatic in the Boro. I thought in 2016 we had a tough bracket playing Van Buren County, who knocked off Jackson County in sub-state, then number 1 Middleton and then South Green. Summertown is a good team that can win it all as well. They have been up there three years in a row and are very experienced with the Boro. We will have all we can handle with these guys right out of the gate.

I wouldn't either. GC is not saying this. Summertown is very experienced and has a chance to win it all as well. There is not a dominant team IMO in Single A.

No doubt it will be a tough game for GC. I thought Summertown dodged a major bullett against Huntingdon like we did against Peabody in the semis of the Region. Looks like this thing is wide open, IMO. I don't see a clear advantage for anyone in any of these games actually. 

[UCSportsFan]

The top half of the bracket has the best 3 teams in it. State Championship will be played in that bracket. No way Midway/Eagleville should be in the semis but one of them will. It will be a nice banner to hang in the rafters and in 10 years no on will be the wiser. The winner of the GC and Summertown game will get a bye into the finals which might just help them. It will be a war in the top side. Loretto at least got a cupcake to start with. If Loretto, Greenfield or Clarkrange wins it then you can say without a doubt they were the best team.

I have said all along Summertown is one of the top 6 teams in the state but Gibson County is top 3 and they have already beat Summertown. It’s just my opinion, I still can’t believe Clay County got put out. It’s going to be a good tournament. But 3 of the top 4 teams are  in one bracket. But that’s the way it falls sometimes.

I will agree with you in the fact that you had the toughest draw last year and this year a tough one as well. Clarkrange also got a tough draw. I don't imagine they are doing cartwheels and happy about playing you guys either.
