Kentucky regionals usually aren't seeded- they do a blind draw of the districts, and then match up the winner from one district with the runner-up from another. That makes the district final the one game you can lose in the postseason in Kentucky- Simon Kenton is in the regional tournament as well.
The Courier-Journal and Enquirer have brief previews I pasted below, although neither one mentions Miles. I don't know why Oldham County is rated so high- it lost four straight games just before the postseason. W-V will play a team with a losing record in the semifinals if it wins its first game, so it does seem to have a nice draw.
Simon Kenton did post stats from its district final against Walton-Verona. They are here:

Zach Freemantle update for those back in the Midwest
First, I met Zach at Pru Center on Wednesday night. He also braved the elements to come and support Xavier in a big win over Seton Hall. He brought the entire Bergen Catholic (BC) team.
BC played a very competitive regular season schedule. They played 20 games against NJ teams. 11 games were against Top 20 teams in the state and they went 9-2. Only losses were 1 point to #1 Ranney School (2 D1 players to FL and Nova) and 2 points to #8 Don Bosco Prep. They also lost a game by 6 to NYC powerhouse Cardinal Hayes and won 3 games in FL at Christmas.
This weekend is the end of the regular season for HS hoops. All counties have their tournament finals this weekend. Tonight BC (#4 in NJ and 2 seed in county tournament) faces off in a rubber match with DBP (#1 seed in county and # 8 ranked in state). This should be a great game.
The NJ state tournament starts next week. BC is the #1 ranked team in the North Jersey Non Public Group A (largest schools) division. Should be 2 good weeks of HS hoops in Jersey. I hope the coaching staff also has their eye on Zach's running mate Matt Zona. This big kid has great game.
Zach has had a great senior year against top notch competition and is well prepped to come to Cintas. I expect he will contribute right out of the gate.

THANKS for the first hand update. Please keep it coming! ZFree and BC will win the rubber game vs Don Bosco.....re-match with Ranney is inevitable. As far as Matt Zona, offer the guy NOW. He is a 3 star type that is under the radar for now but will be a rising prospect as a senior.President of the Eddie Johnson Fan Club

I found this pretty interesting when looking at the dates for our next few games:
ESPN has Dieonte Miles as a 4 star, Zach Freemantle as a 4*, and Daniel Ramsey as a 3*, while 247 has Dieonte Miles as a 3* (in their own and composite), Zach Freemantle as a 3* in composite; 4* in their own, and Daniel Ramsey as 3* composite, but 4* in their own. Such a difference between the two services, I know I follow 247 for football as ESPN's football rankings are crap, not sure how good their basketball ones are, but it's interesting to see.

Yea Nova’s recruiting class is very impressive. Probably one of their best classes on paper. Only thing with Antoine is his weight...he’s like dust in the wind at this point.
