AggiesAreWe Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 Post updates here for tonight's crucial 21-3A district game. Buna wins, they clinch 3rd playoff pot. Orangefield wins, gives them inside track to 3rd playoff spot.
Cat22 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 Doesn't this win clinch the 3rd spot for OF?

Ty Cobb Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 From my understanding OF and Buna both have 6 wins. OF has beat Buna twice which gives them the tie breaker according to district rules. Now, if OF can best BC tomorrow there will be no need for the tie breaker.

OF is 6-5 and plays BC tomorrow. If OF gets beat by BC they would be 6-6 but will have beat Buna twice so OF advances based on head to head?
AggiesAreWe Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Posted April 26, 2013 I did not think head to head mattered.I guess the 21-3A coaches are smarter than the 20-4A coaches. ;) ;D
Cat22 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 I'm not sure myself. I just assumed that's how it worked. Maybe not.
pickle Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks to a couple of friends of mine I have been able to see a copy of 21-3A district rules. Here is what the rules say:Method of Determining Championship Rule B-Should there be a two-way tie (defeated each other) there would be a one game playoff. The winner would be declared district champion. In case of a two way tie percentage wise, the team with the best record between the two will be declared the district champion and the other team the district runner up. This process will also be used to determine the runner up in case of a tie for second place.Rule DThe third place team will be determined in the same manner as the champion and runner up.Now to the Buna and Orangefield situation. Buna has finished the season at 6-6.Orangefield is currently 6-5 with a game vs BC.If Orangefield beats BC they finish the season at 7-5.If Orangefield loses to BC, they finish the season at 6-6.This would tie Buna and Orangefield for 3rd.Orangefield would win the 3rd playoff spot due to head to head record.I hope this clears everything up.
Cat22 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks! Both KOGT and The Orange Leader are saying OF has clinched. Orange Leader is saying OF plays Tarkington next week in the 1st round of the playoffs.
Socrates Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 2nd and 3rd place from 22-3A has not been decided yet. Shepherd vs Splendora and possibly Coldspring vs Huffman, both on Friday night have a bearing on the 2nd and 3rd place representatives.Tarkington- needs a Shepherd win to be 2nd place team.Splendora- needs to beat Shepherd to tie Tarkington for 2nd and force playoff.Shepherd- needs to beat Splendora to either be 3rd place alone or part of a 3 way tie.Coldspring- needs to beat Huffman and have Shepherd beat Splendora to force 3 way tie.Clear as mud
aTmfan06 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 Buna is done now..this clinches it for orangefield
