This solidifies the 3 way tie for first in the district.

Harlan County is for sure the 3 and will travel to Pulaski in the first round in what should be a very winnable game.
Perry gets the 4 seed and a tough trip to Southwestern.

If my math is right, Whitley needs to pick up a win against Hazard next week to win district.
Biggest question mark will be if hazard rest some players up for the playoffs.
No doubt Whitley will be going full tilt to repeat as champs.

if i remember how they do tiebreaker. right now NL got 16 points, and can't got up( there last team only got 2 wins). WC got 16 points, but can move up to 18 points with a win over Hazard, HC got 8 points, but with a win over Bell Co. will give HC 14 points.

they take the 3 best win that is none district. each win they have if 1 point for them. am i right, or do they do it another way now.

If I got this right then for Whitley to win district,if they can use PCC in the counting will need to beat Hazard and hope PCC beats Prestonsburg. If PCC loses to Prestonsburg then the point system falls back into a tie and it would go off the head to head and NL won that game.

This is all assuming the three win. Also Whitley can hope for a Bell County win.

I'll post an updated list tomorrow.

North Laurel

(Bolded are the 4 wins that would be used)

South Laurel- 4 wins. Should beat harlan for 5 wins.
Prestonsburg- 6 Wins. 1 game left against Perry so North will get one point either way there.
East Jessamine- 6 wins. Season over.
Grant County- 0 wins. 1 games left
Perry Central- 6 wins. 1 games left again prestnsburg so north will get extra point either way.
Letcher Central- 0 wins. 1 game left.
(Norths only game left) Clay County- 2 wins

Current points using 4 highest teams- 22
Should finish with 24.

Whitley County

(Bolded are the 4 wins that would be used)

Leslie County- 4 wins. Season over.
Bell County- 6 wins. 1 games left.
East Jessamine- 6 wins. Season over
Perry Central- 6 wins. 1 game left.
Letcher Central- 0 wins 1 game left
(Whitleys only game left) Hazard- 6 wins

Current points using 4 highest teams (with win over hazard) - 24
If perry beats Pburgs and bell wins over HC 26
Whitley could pick up extra points with a bell win over Harlan County and cancel out a North point if perry beats Pburgs.

If the tie remains after Friday, a fifth opponent would be added to the score for each team. Whitley could add Leslie's 4 wins while North could only add clays 2 wins so Whitley would win in that scenario. It doesn't go to a head to head until all wins have been exhausted.

I really think the district championship is going to rest in two things.
1. Whitley beating hazard obviously
2. The winner of the perry-Pburg game has HUGE implications. If perry wins and Whitley beats hazard, North can't catch up.

I knew head to head went somewhere.

Perry Central vs Pburg could decide the district championship. That looked like an inconsequential game to round out the season when it was scheduled.

Total wins counting non-district only?

[zaga_fan]

Congrats to the Black Bears. They didn't let the foot off the gas until the running clock was on.

To put in perspective how outstandingly magnificent the Commodores' performance was...

Game starts...
Perry receives kick...
Kick goes into endzone - Perry starts at the 20...
First down - Two yard run.
Second down - Fumble and Blackbears takeover on Perry's 25
Blackbear TD
Kickoff goes into endzone - Perry starts at the 20.
First down - Perry fumbles and Blackbears takeover on Perry's 20...

Later on...
Blackbears went up 24-0 late in the 2nd after a long play by Ty Simmons...
Perry muffs the kickoff and Blackbears takeover at the 15
TD Blackbears and they lead 31-0 going into halftime.


After losing a winnable game to Whitley County (possible district champs), the Commodores really haven't put together a decent quarter of football. Woolum getting back into the lineup should help, but the Southwestern game will be a really tough one.

I don't want to take anything away from Harlan County - because they were the better team by leaps and bounds Friday night - but there was no reason for that game to be as lop sided as it was.

That's what I thought for a long time.
But you can actually use district games.
The only teams you cant use are those that are involved in the three way tie. So unless its HC, WC, or NL, it can be used.

[cj2561]

They take the 4 best wins
I'll post an updated list tomorrow.

i though it was the 3 best wins, that is non district games.

[RunItUpTheGut]

i though it was the 3 best wins, that is non district games.

b) TIE-BREAKER (more than two teams). Should three or more
teams tie for the a district position based upon the win-loss
record, the position shall be determined by the following:
i) If one of the teams has defeated each of the other teams
tied in games contested between them, that team shall be
declared to hold the highest position, and the winner of the
game between the remaining teams (if less than four) shall
be declared the second highest position. In the event of more than three teams being tied, where one has defeated
each of the tied teams, that team shall be declared the
highest position, and the tie-breaking procedure shall be
re-applied for the remaining tied teams.
ii) If the tie remains, each team tied for the position shall
receive one point for each game won by any four of their
defeated opponents in all games, except for the games
played between any two of the tied teams. All games played
shall be counted in applying the tie-breaking procedure,
including out of state games, with the exception that a
defeated school may be counted only once in the procedure
regardless of the number of games played against that
particular school. Teams awarded forfeit victories (whether
or not a forfeit fee is paid) may count the defeated opponents
of the forfeiting team, provided the game was not replaced
on the schedule.
iii) If the tie remains after application of provision (ii), an
additional defeated opponent’s wins will be added to the
point total for each team until the tie is broken and the
winner of the tied position declared, or until all games are
exhausted.
iv) If the tie for the position involves only three teams, and the
application of (ii) and (iii) results in one team being declared
the winner of the tied position based on point totals, the
highest point total from the application of (ii) and (iii)
between the two remaining tied teams shall be declared to
hold the next position.
v) If the tie for the championship involves more than three
teams, and the application of (ii) and (iii) results in one
team being declared the winner of the tied position based
on point totals, the procedure shall then be re-applied to
determine the next position.
vi) If the tie for the position involves more than three teams,
and the application of (ii) and (iii) results in two teams
remaining tied for the position based on points, the head
to head game played between them shall break the tie, and
head to head competition will break any remaining ties.
vii) If a tie results after application of all provisions of the
above plan, the tie shall be broken by the Commissioner.

[E's Army]

Bell vs Harlan could also have an impact on the tiebreaker.
