Final

Was this an upset?

No, I don't imagine anyone would think of this as an upset. Prestonsburg beat a very good Sheldon Clark team that beat Belfry tonight in overtime.

Congrats Blackcats!!

 

What do the district standings look like after tonights games?

Prestonsburg, Belfry, and Sheldon Clark are in a 3-way tie atop the district since each team now has one loss. P-burg beat SC, Belfry beat P-burg, and now SC has a win over Belfry.

ok, it goes to a point breaker for the tie, correct?

Yes, that's correct. The first tie-breaker is head-to-head, which doesn't apply. The second tie-breaker states that each tied team will use any 4 teams they've defeated during the regular season, and shall be awarded one point for each game the defeated teams have won in all games, except for the games played between any two of the tied teams. All games count, even out-of-state games, and Sheldon Clark is the only team this year with an out-of-state game which they won.

So whoever comes up the the tie-breaker first gets an "A+".... :thumb:

Congrtas to Coach DeRossette and the blackcats.

The Scribe posted this scenario on another thread(I did a little compilation as well and, needless to say, my numbers compiled after using "all games", as outlined below, are different, although not by a lot), but I believe Shelby Valley should have been included in the point total for Sheldon Clark as they played last week:

 

"Point system. Going into tonight, the points were --

 

Belfry (10)

 

3 - NCC

4 - Pikeville

2 - Magoffin

1 - Lawrence/East Ridge

 

SC (8)

 

3 - Boyd

3 - Knott

1 - Lawrence

1 - East Ridge

 

 

P'Burg (6)

 

4 - Paintsville

2 - Magoffin "

 

 

But the rules state it's only the "games" played between the tied teams that aren't counted, and that all games are counted from any 4 defeated opponents, except for the "games" played between any of the 3 tied teams. So the wins from the tied teams can be a part of the tie-breaker, right? :creepy: Or have there been changes made since the 2006-2007 KHSAA Handbook was issued? So, while it's still too early to know for sure who the 4 playoff teams are, we have a pretty good idea, but where they end up in the district standings may very well take until the last game of the regular season. :thumb: And my interpretation of the rulebook could be incorrect(I've been wrong before.... once! ) :fire:

I'm surprised that no posts have been made since my rules interpretation. But, while Shelby Valley's wins may possibly be the same for all 3 teams at the end of regular season play, SC has already played and won their game with SV which would have put them on top going into this weekend point with 11 pts. And including the wins from the tied teams makes a significant difference in the tie-breaker, and would currently show SC at 17, P-burg at 13, and Belfry at 11, but opponents games over these last 2 weeks could change things considerably. :thumb:
