With one game in the regular season remaining on the schedule, plenty has yet to have been decided.
On the boys’ side, Auburn, Auburn Riverside, Thomas Jefferson and Kentlake are still fighting it out for the final playoff berths.
I trade e-mails with SPSL commissioner Doug Auburn earlier today for some clarifications.
Here’s what Dave informed me:
“All ties first go to a head to head advantage. If one team has beaten another both times during the year they own the tie-breaker and would have the higher seed or advance. If the teams split during the year they play off on Tuesday. Sites TBD. If all holds true to form we will have two tie-breaker games in the North, both girls, KW vs FW and Aub vs KL. It looks as if these will be held at Tahoma on Tuesday 2/9.”
My initial question to Dave was this: If Kentlake upsets Kentwood tomorrow night, TJ falls to Federal Way (as expected) and Auburn knocks off Auburn Riverside, who advances? This would put AR and KL in a tie for the fifth and final slot.
Dave answered as follows:
“With the boys teams as you describe … one team holds the tie-breaker over another; AR over TJ, TJ over Aub, Aub over KL, KL over AR. Currently, AR has better record than Auburn but if Auburn wins they’ll tie and Auburn will hold the tie-breaker over AR.”
But what if TJ pulls off the mother of all upsets Friday night and knocks off FW?
“Then we would have a mini-tournament on Tuesday,” Dave noted.
The bottom line? Things could get really, really interesting tomorrow night around 9:30 p.m.
