In another thread, it was mentioned that 14 visiting teams won. I assume they were 3/4 seeds.

Manual won as a 4.

There were 94 playoff games last night. 68 games were decided by 3 scores or more. 6 games won by the home team were decided by 2 scores. 6 other games won by the home team were decided by 1 score. In 14 games the visiting team won.

72% of the games were blowouts.

15% of the games were upsets...or visiting team won.

13% of the other games were competitive...within two scores.

Nice research. :thumb:

It's good for T because without first round games the Shamrocks would have been finished last week.

 

And at least one Trinity fan is OK with that. Earn your way in during the regular season.

How many Louisville schools lost to teams outside of Louisville? Maybe KHSAA should research to going back to at large and Louisville champs. Just because schools are big out in the state doesn't mean they have athletes walking the halls. Or leveling based on past performances and history. It would make for far more interesting playoff games. 3 classes and a super class of all the best teams in the state, then state titles would mean something and the smaller and less football historical teams could compete. Think of how many schools lost money traveling yo far away schools for 1st round losses. KHSAA should pay for travel in the playoffs if there going to make you go across state for 1st round games. Bet they'd change things tthen.

Boyle had running clock. 45 - 6 with 2 min. to go in 1st half.

Will 42% of the games in round 2 have running clocks?

Highlands had a running clock with 2 minutes left in the first quarter.

Grayson Co had one in the first quarter vs North Bullett

Franklin-Simpson forced a running clock on Hopkins Central with 11:00 min to go in the 2nd. Last year it was a bit later in the second quarter same team.

 

My answer to that is that Hopkins Co. Central needs to get better and compete.

Nice breakdown, and as mentioned these are eye opening numbers.

 

The thing that strikes me though is the number of games that had a running clock BEFORE halftime. If it's a 36 point spread in the first or second quarter, the two teams simply shouldn't be playing. Not a knock on anyone on either side, simply a fact.

 

No one "gets better" by getting down 36 points 10 or 14 minutes into a game. No one on the other end wants to embarrass anyone, but they need to get to 36 to get the clock moving and they know they can do it in like 10 plays.
