bearden @ west

who wins?

Both teams need this one. West must realize that, as things currently stand, if it wins out, it stands a good chance of making the playoffs as a wildcard. Bearden must realize that with 2 tough games remaining, the wildcard that looks good right now could evaporate. A win over Catholic would actually do the Bulldogs more good than a win over West, but a W over anyone is "wildcard security". Both teams have lost key players to injury. Bearden is more balanced offensively. West needs to avoid penalties and negative plays that take the Rebels out of their offensive comfort zone. The last 3 times these schools have played the result has been a very competitive game -- and a Bearden win. I think West might be due if they realize the season isn't lost and can avoid errors like missing last week's first extra point, which was the difference in the Catholic game. Should be a really good high school game; hoping for a well played, injury free contest. Good luck to both!

The first meaningless Thursday night game of the year. Bearden is in as a wildcard, West stays hom no matter what.

Did you not read the post above you? If West wins out it's got a good chance of being in as a wildcard.

If West wins out, they finish 4-5 I think. I suspect the sullivan south game that ended so tragically, would not be made up. How would TSSAA compare a 4-5 team to a 5-5 or 4-6 team? Strict percentages?

[TheGoldenBoot]

THey would be 5-5 because they already counted south as a loss.

west 4-6 no playoffs, spring game to look forward too.
