If I am looking at the standings correctly, only two teams at this moment control their own destiny as far as at least a tie for the district championship. Of course a co-champion will determine playoff spots by head to head and then probably point spread.
Even if either Silsbee or HF (or both) loses tonight, they still control their own destiny for at least a co-champion spot.
Obviously any team can get on a losing streak and wreck their season. At this moment in time however, only two teams in a position that they control.
All that to mean, I don’t see the big to do over this article other than locker room material. Would it really matter in this case? I don’t think that HF would take WOS lightly regardless of being undefeated. It isn’t like they have been dominating the world for the last two decade.
