This is a deceptively important game for MUS. If MUS wins out, they get the #1 seed in the West. And while White Station is non-region, it could prove to be a crucial tiebreaker in the total wins column if there's a three-way tie at 4-1 between Briarcrest, MBA, and MUS in the region.

I know White Station has a strong defense, allowing no more than 27 points in any game in 2019. MUS, aside from the loss to MBA, has scored at least 35 points in every game this season.

To that end, I predict an MUS victory. Though I know White Station beat Christian Brothers, gave Whitehaven a fight, and are very much capable of winning this game.

For those of you with an NFHS Network account, here's something worth a few minutes of your time: the late drive by JP2, without their star RB, to force overtime against MUS. Keep in mind that MUS led at the half 23-6.

The drive starts at 2:42:50 in the video linked below, with JP2 down 23-20, starting from their own 18-yard line, 2:53 Q4. Some improbable things happened on that drive and they forced overtime.

MUS hung on to win in double OT, which was huge for the Owls. Lose that and a loss to Briarcrest quite likely would have cost MUS a playoff spot, as JP2 closes the regular season with St. Benedict and would've held the head-to-head tiebreaker at 2-3 in that scenario.

      Wouldn't the easiest move be to move McCall up to HS Principal and have Gulley take over as MS Principal?

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      Bounder, you are correct. And it is so easy today. As a civilian today, I can check my 6th grade grandson’s grades in real time. 46 years ago as a young head coach, I knew who were my weak students and would do a weekly check. A decade and 1/2 later as an administrator, I would ask guidance for attendance, and grade reports as I did my own discipline reports. 5 years later I could run all those reports in a few minutes. today Text one the Secretaries and they can create a red flag report only printing the names with D’s and F’s or attendance and discipline issues. You are not even dealing with a whole team. The only problem with modern technology is someone who might not want to know.

      The buck stops with the head coach, he should have know if any of his players  were not making the required grades. Either he has someone checking weekly before games and reporting to him or he should do it himself.
