Yes, it's unfortunate but Russell would have to travel to Belfry next year again for the state semis if both teams win their Regions. Russell is flopped to Region 3 next year with Belfry being flopped to Region 4. Fortuneately, 2009 and 2010 would both be hosted by Russell, once in the regional final, and once in the state semis.

As for not being able to get 4 home playoff games, it is very possible. Back in the 4A system Ashland had this opportunity every EVEN year that we won district since we were in District 8 Region 4. Alternatively, in ODD years we could only host a maximum of 2 playoffs games if we won distrct.
