D2AAA East: Who Misses the Playoffs?

[TnTxn]

3 teams are vying for only 2 postseason spots in the East: BA, Ensworth and Knox Catholic.  Which 2 advance and who is playing basketball Monday?

BA (vs Baylor): win and in. OR lose and either Ensworth or KC lose.

Ensworth (at McCallie): win and in.  OR lose and either BA win or KC lose.

Knox Catholic (vs Father Ryan): win and BA lose.

Assuming BA cannot 100% contain Elijah Howard, it is likely that Ensworth will miss, as long as McCallie doesn't give up any big plays to Keshawn Lawrence

II-AAA East
4-0 (8-1) McCallie has clinched the #1 seed
3-1 (8-1) Baylor has clinched a playoff berth and can finish no lower than the #3 seed
2-2 (6-3) Brentwood Academy can finish as high as the #2 seed or possibly miss the playoffs
2-2 (6-3) Ensworth can finish as high as the #3 seed or possibly miss the playoffs
1-3 (6-3) Knoxville Catholic can finish as high as the #3 seed (the Ensworth doomsday scenario) but must win to have any chance at the post-season

Week 11 -- Friday, November 1, 2019
7:30 p.m. EDT kickoffs: FRHS at Knox Catholic and Ensworth at McCallie
8:00 p.m. EDT kickoff: Baylor at Brentwood Academy

All three of these games should be streaming live. I can tell you for a fact that FRHS/Catholic will be live/free on YouTube, as I'm calling that for ATW Sportscast in Knoxville. I believe Catholic will have a live broadcast on the NFHS Network.

Literally the only thing I've ever been told to not say during an FRHS broadcast is Fightin' or Fighting before the word Irish in connection with Father Ryan. So that should be interesting, as Knox Catholic somehow apparently escaped the Notre Dame C&D frenzy of a dozen or so years ago and still uses Fighting Irish as its nickname.

It will easily be my biggest team name broadcasting challenge since solo calling a Nashville SC vs. North Carolina FC soccer match at Vanderbilt Stadium in 2017.

ATW will also have Baylor/BA live on YouTube. I anticipate both Ensworth and McCallie will be streaming their game, particularly McCallie since it's at their place and they have student broadcasters.

There are only eight possible scenarios.

1) Ensworth wins, Catholic wins, BA wins
BA is the #2 seed, Baylor is the #3 seed, Ensworth is the #4 seed. Catholic misses the playoffs.

2) Ensworth wins, Catholic wins, BA loses
Baylor is the #2 seed, Ensworth is the #3 seed, Catholic is the #4 seed. Four-time defending state champion BA misses the playoffs.

3) Ensworth wins, Catholic loses, BA wins
BA is the #2 seed, Baylor is the #3 seed, Ensworth is the #4 seed. Catholic misses the playoffs.

4) Ensworth wins, Catholic loses, BA loses
Baylor is the #2 seed, Ensworth is the #3 seed, BA is the #4 seed. Catholic misses the playoffs.

5) Ensworth loses, Catholic wins, BA wins
BA is the #2 seed, BA is the #3 seed, Ensworth is the #4 seed. Catholic misses the playoffs.

6) Ensworth loses, Catholic wins, BA loses
Baylor is the #2 seed, Catholic is the #3 seed, BA is the #4 seed. Ensworth misses the playoffs.

7) Ensworth loses, Catholic loses, BA wins
BA is the #2 seed, Baylor is the #3 seed, Ensworth is the #4 seed. Catholic misses the playoffs.

8) Ensworth loses, Catholic loses, BA loses
Baylor is the #2 seed, BA is the #3 seed, Ensworth is the #4 seed. Catholic misses the playoffs.
