Did scott get the shaft in gettin placed in the District Tournement if im not mistaken them and LC have the same District record and if not again mistaken i believe scott has the overall best record. But im not saying that scott cant beat OS then pull a suprise upset agasnt The undefeated (in the district) AC.

No, they didn't get the shaft. I think that the district's method of tiebreaker after the head-to-head doesn't sort out the tie is pretty silly, but it's the method they use and Scott High was on the losing end. If the players focus on being shafted, their season will end against Oliver Springs on Monday night. If they focus on the tournament and playing their best, this is a very capable Highlander ball club that can make some good things happen before this season is finished.

Anytime you recieve the shaft it is truely sad.

If Scott (the higher ranked team) beats OS (the lower ranked team) both times during the season, then this conversation doesn't happen......

scott played os early and os played great. on that night, they would have beaten anybody. in the second quarter, they were something like 14-15 from the floor. Scott played them different in the rematch and won by 20.

The means of deciding a tie-breaker is ridiculous. Scott had a much better season than OS did. Scott has won more games than LC, and should be place in that bracket instead of Lenoir City. thumb

The 4AA coaches including Coach Hall decided a few years ago that this was the best way to handle tiebreakers. 1) head to head 2) draw a number at start of season......I don't agree with the system either, but when your team is in on the decision making process how can you whine about it. In most districts, after head to head, you see which team beat the highest seeded team and that determines the tiebreaker. The highest ranked team that LC beat was Scott and the highest ranked that Scott beat was Kingston. Honestly, in my opinion Scott should get the tiebreaker because of this win, but that's not how this district decides it. Talk to Coach Hall and see if he will work to change it because this isn't the first time this scenario has came up over the years......ps Why would your overall wins matter in determining a distrct tiebreaker....look at the two teams strength of schedule and their's no comparison..LC played Fulton, Alcoa, Sequoyah, etc.......

It should be a very competitive tournament...
