It's a load of crap. They're giving Matewan the WILLIAMSON game (Williamson might win 2 or 3 games this season), but not the other 2. Looks like it was meant as a "fair trade" kind of thing. Thing is, taking those other 2 wins from Matewan would put them probably in the top 10 instead of top 4, and they'd have to travel later in the post season, likely to one of the single A teams up north, near Wheeling. Guess where the WVSSAC is located?

Cookies and milk if you guess WHEELING!

What it really boils down to is that the members (or at least some of them) of the WVSSAC didn't feel like traveling to Matewan (on the other side of the state) for a semi-final game, when it could be played in their own back yard.

Now, while my feelings toward Matewan and Yogi in particular are quite open, and my disgust for him is legendary, I still feel this is a weak decision. The boys of Matewan don't deserve to be punished for laziness by their coach, nor for poor rules set forth by the WVSSAC. As things stand now...


EDIT: They must have moved it to Parkersburg. I remember the WVSSAC being in Wheeling eons ago when I was in HS, but apparently now it's in Parkersburg.
