The 93rd Annual PNC Bank/KHSAA Sweet 16 should be a dandy.

Selection committee not kind to Kentucky
Are you kidding me? Texas an eight seed? I think this year's “Selection Sunday” should be renamed Duke’s “walk in the park.”

Les Dixon's Daily Sweet Sixteen Pick 'ems
If I have to say so myself, I did pretty good picking the 13th Region Tournament’s boys’ and girls’ games. Putting together an 11-3 record isn’t too shabby, huh?

It’s time to look ahead to next year’s top teams in the region
Well, the 13th Region Tournament is over and that means some relaxation for most media, but not for me. I’ll be back in action covering high school basketball games at the 93rd Annual PNC Bank Sweet Sixteen next week.

Tim Branstetter - The Way It Should Be
First of all, I would like to congratulate the Redhounds on winning the 13th Region Championship. They went through the entire season with a target on their back and they continued to work hard and get better every day.

Les Dixon's 13th Region Pick 'ems
Boy, what a grinding week. Things have been great at The Arena and today should be a VERY exciting day with three games on tap. My record stands at a impressive 8-2, so I guess it’s time to pick away again.

Les Dixon - The Way It Is
It’s another day in the books and I’ll be honest, I’m very, very tired. I believe the Times-Tribune and the Harlan Daily Enterprise are the only two print media that has covered the entire 13th Region Tournament.

Les Dixon's 13th Region Pick 'ems
This is a first for me. I’m 4-0 and still going strong with my pick’ems. Today’s games get a bit harder, but hopefully, I’ll be able to keep my record perfect for at least another day.
