???...This is the playoffs, not some pre-district game! They can CLOSE the game to spectators, because it is still considered a DISTRICT playoff..That is up to the district committee chair school for 22-3A...Now once the actual STATE UIL playoffs start, that is no longer an option...

If they choose not to play the game HJ will win by forfeit since HJ beat Silsbee by more points than Silsbee beat HJ

This is not football, either...Look at the UIL manual...Silsbee could altogether FORFEIT, but consequences come with doing that..Like I said, they can stop the fans from coming since it is not UIL playoffs yet, or forfeit...Those are the ONLY options at this point..

I dont profess to know it all...(OK yes I do, but... ;D) I just don't see how they could just cancel a district playoff game like that...It would be a first, although I just don't see it happening.

Each district sets their own precedent in this case (district minutes/rules).

This district policy (21-3A) says:

If two teams are tied for first place they will be deemed co-champions and will play-off for seeding purposes in the play-offs.

There are three options in this situation:

1)  teams play

2)  coin flip (BOTH schools must agree to this)

3)  if school A wants to coin flip but school B refuses a coin flip then school A has the option to concede the first seed to school B

YES...And there it is! Thanks for the clarification...But what happens AFTER they have already decided to play...You cannot concede at that point.

That doesn't mean you are right.  It means you guessed right.  They COULD have cancelled if they wanted to.  They chose not to or never intended to.

No, I was right because I stated that I did not see HOW that was going to happen in a district playoff situation...In pre-district, yes its possible, but in this situation the options were limited, and I said that, therefore, I was RIGHT. Again.

Here's HOW it could have happened:

Coach decides after setting the game that he likes the route the second place team would have.  Since teams are already co-champions and he knows the other team will insist on playing in lieu of a coin flip the coach concedes the game because he wants the second place route. 

That's HOW it COULD have happened.

There ya go.

      Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.

      Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
