Macon has to share a Trophy with a team it beat 4 times and blew out twice and really the only close game was the 4th game. Macon broke a 50+ games home win streak at Upperman and another long one at Clarkrange 40+ and get nothing but a worthless last 4 banner they have to share.
Nolensville and Westview have not lost to a class AA team this season
Greenfield has to share it with 2 teams it beat. They are undefeated and have barely been challenged.
Clarkrange lost 3 games to AA Macon and @ AAA Stone Memorial.
Whitehaven has to share with a team it beat.
Macon and Greenfield should be awarded the championship since they have the best record and have been ranked #1 practically all year. But I can see the argument that someone else is better.
What are they going to do let each school display the Gold ball for 3 months and pass it on the the next for 3 months?
Boys is worse as there are 24 teams left playing.
Sharing with a team you beat would definitely suck.
Macon Co would probably meet Westview in the championship which would make for a really good game.
Greenfield vs Clarkrange in the semis would have been great as well. Not a guaranteed win for Greenfield.
Whitehaven hasn’t beat any team still remaining in the AAA in the state tournament. They were actually beat by Arlington in November.
Giving teams a trophy based on their rankings would be terrible also. At that point, we would be giving more power to the sports writers than they already have. Seeing the rankings all year long, it’s apparent most of them do not follow what is actually going on and rank teams based on what they did last year or what they hear from others with limited information. I’m sure it is a hard job but if you spend adequate time doing this it can be done and be done fairly accurately.
Best case scenario would be to find a way to play once things settle down.
