[0ff The Chain]

Well, as if this game hasnt had enough build up since the preseason, I just looked at some things and though Raceland stands at 3rd in the district right now, its not over and this game will STILL decide the district championship.

IF, and its a big one right now, Raceland continues this trend of destroying a fun senior night for the home team, it forces a three way tie and here is the latest run down on how that works, atleast according to the KHSAA, someone correct me if I am wrong.

In a tie-breaker situation, each team selects 4 teams from their schedule, which THEY BEAT. They then recieve 1 point for every WIN those teams have. So, if the Rams can beat Paintsville, here is how it will run down, assuming Fairview beats Lewis Co (highly likely) and Paintsville beats Shelby Valley (not a 100% that it will happen, will be more than likely it will). Raceland will need to beat Russell as well. But...if all that happens, here we go:

Fairview recieves 23 points for beating Hazard, LCA, Lawrence Co, and Raceland.

Paintsville recieves 22 for beating Pikeville, Fairview, Bourbon Co, and Shelby Valley

Raceland recieves 26 for beating West Carter, Lawrence County, Paintsville and Russell.

Remember this all hinges on Raceland and Fairview winning out their regular seasons and Paintsville losing to Raceland and Beating Shelby Valley.

Now, that sheds some perspective on how important this weeks Raceland/Paintsville game is. If things go the way I have stated (and I say theres about a 60/40 shot that Paintsville beats Raceland, based on matchups), but if the Rams manage a win, then, on tie breakers:

Raceland wins the district.
Fairview takes number 2
Paintsville at NINE AND FREAKING 1 would take number 3.

Imo, over all schedule would be the fairest thing, but, with the system in place, this is how it would break down i believe.

How exactly does Fairview get points for beating Lawrence when they got hammered by them? :eyeroll:
