Postseason Preview: Regions 5 and 6

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District tournaments start next Monday and lots of teams are playing 2-3 games this week as a result of all the cancellations from the winter storm that hit at the end of January. With only a week until postseason kicks off, let's take a look at some teams and players to watch heading into district tournaments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Region 5:</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Most likely to make the regional tournament field:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>North Hardin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Central Hardin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caverna</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LaRue County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nelson County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bardstown</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Adair County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>X-Factor: [player_tooltip player_id='2149144' first='Terrion' last='Mack'], North Hardin - When both Mack and [player_tooltip player_id='1565984' first='Keriawn' last='Berry'] have played well, the Trojans are right at the top of the power rankings in the 5th. When Terrion is able to score 20+ to go with Berry, [player_tooltip player_id='2983287' first='Cam' last='House'] and [player_tooltip player_id='3502164' first='Michael' last='Cleaver'], Coach Baffour's squad is able to score at a rate that most teams in the state cannot keep up with. If Mack is really good, they can get to Rupp Arena.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Most likely regional champion: Caverna</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Most likely regional tournament MVP: [player_tooltip player_id='1902675' first='Jaylin' last='Craine'], Caverna</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Region 6:</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Most likely to make the regional tournament field:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pleasure Ridge Park</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Faridale</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DeSales</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Butler</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moore</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>North Bullitt</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Evangel Christian</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jeffersontown</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>X-Factor: [player_tooltip player_id='1745595' first='Michael' last='Ray Stinnett'], Fairdale - One of the top shooters in Kentucky, Stinnett is knocking down 50% of his three point attempts this season. In the postseason, Michael Ray will need to draw enough defensive attention that his teammates are able to see single coverage on the offensive end. Stinnett will also need to be a good enough defender to avoid getting picked on by opposing teams. Fairdale has been up and down this year but they have the offensive firepower to compete with anyone in the region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Most likely regional champion: Jeffersontown</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Most likely regional tournament MVP: [player_tooltip player_id='1543629' first='Dayvone' last='Harrison'], Jeffersontown</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
