The field is set for the 2018 KHSAA Class A Playoffs and the first round gets underway Friday night.
Beechwood will be heavily favored to bring home the championship, but there are some other teams who could play the role of Cinderella.
Here’s a look at the bracket:
Our thoughts:
The top of the bracket is pretty clear. Beechwood (8-2) hasn’t lost a 1A game since 2015. Until someone beats the Tigers, we will take them to win the whole thing.
On the other side of the bracket, we will take Pikeville but it won’t be easy. The Panthers will have to survive Hazard and then either Paintsville or Raceland on the way to Kroger Field.
Championship prediction: Beechwood vs. Pikeville
Champions: Beechwood
