KSR's Kentucky High School Basketball Post-District Tournament Top 25

High school basketball district tournaments across the state of Kentucky wrapped up on Saturday, which means regional tournament action begins on Monday night with the majority of games getting underway on Tuesday. The winners of the 16 regions will gather in Rupp Arena for the Sweet 16 on March 15-18 to crown one state champion.

Assuming the favorites win out, potential blockbuster regional matchups loom, including:

• Warren Central vs Bowling Green in the 4th Region finals.
• Male vs Ballard in the 7th Region semifinals (remember what happened last year) with the winner possibly playing Trinity in the finals.
• Madison Central vs. Douglass and Great Crossing vs. Lexington Catholic would make for two epic 11th Region semifinal games.
• Reed Sheppard‘s North Laurel Jaguars face off against a very good Harlan team in the first round with Harlan County potentially looming in the 13th Region finals.
• And much, much more.

Check out KSR’s post-District Tournament rankings below. You can view the end-of-season rankings here.
