With Russell County knocking off Knox Central, it forced one of the few three-way ties in the state.

 

Based on my calculations....

 

Rockcastle County currently has 18 points (Perry County - 7; Frankfort - 5; Pulaski County - 3; Whitley County - 3). They play 4-5 Montgomery County next week and could replace a 3 with a 4.

 

Russell County currently has 14 points (South Laurel - 5; Whitley, Pulaski, North Laurel, and Letcher County all have three. They can count three of the four. No score on North Laurel/Lincoln from tonight. They play 4-5 Adair County next week and could replace a 3 with a four.

 

Knox Central played a pathetic non-district schedule that included three Tennessee teams and have 7 points (Gatlinburg Pittman 4; West Jessamine - 1; Lancaster Chrisitian - 1; Clay County - 1; Clinton, Tenn. 0. They are at Madison Central next week and could jump into second with an upset and some help.

 

Should nothing change, Knox Central would go to Boyle County in the first round. Clay County goes to LexCath, Marion County visits Rockcastle County; and Russell County hosts Mercer County

Which one gets Mercer? You have Marion twice.

Knox Central isn't at Boyle next week. Boyle plays Whitley County.

I know this thread is about the tie-breakers, but is there a clear enough picture of the playoffs to layout the brackets?

No, Knox Central finishes with Madison Central. As for the "pathetic non-district schedule", they played two top BGP top ten 5A schools (Harlan Co. and Perry Central) but both were losses and thus don't count. Gatlinburg Pittman is normally a very good team but are down this year. One of the other Tenn. teams was a late addition when KC was scrambling to fill the date vacated when Bell dropped us after hiring Coach Mills. Clay Co. is a district opponent.

I corrected the goofs. It was early.

 

Knox has five wins over opponents with seven wins total. Seven. They can be happy with the schedule but all it did was enable them to travel to Boyle County in the first round instead of hosting a playoff game.

I never said anyone was happy with the schedule. I was attempting to explain why it is what it is. In reality, it was designed to be tougher than previous years. We went from a six team district to a four team so we had to replace McCreary Central and Madison Southern. We picked up Perry Central, Harlan County, and Madison Central (all 5A), to replace Williamsburg and Harlan Indep (1A). Pittman was expected to be better as was Clinton.

 

No excuses. Just that it was expected to be tougher than it turned out.

District was 5 teams not 6. Knox, Rock, Bell, Madison Sou and Mccreary.

I've posted my estimation of the 4A brackets in this thread:
