The voters confused me here. Like did they not notice a north Central just beat Cheraw while they were their #3 team?

Greenville ranked #8 in the state; not in the playoffs. The tiebreakers didn't go their way...

This is a perfect example of how Regions are not balanced. Don't get me wrong, Region Champs should be rewarded; but limiting the playoffs can reward a bad team over a good team.

There is the danger of going overboard as well... we don't need everyone in the playoffs. And yes, this year is unique (at least we all are hoping this year is unique). I hate it for those players on the Greenville team; winning on the field but losing on the tiebreakers, I say winning on the field because they beat Greer (who won the Region due to tiebreakers) 34-17.

Greenwood........3 - 1
Greer.................3 - 1
Greenville..........3 - 1

Greenwood: beat Greenville 50-27 & lost Greer 21-34
Greer: beat Greenwood 34-21 & lost Greenville 17-34
Greenville: beat Greer 34-17 & lost Greenwood 27-50

Fear not. Just like the bollock chinned spunkbubble, Jerome and company will try to write the rules after the contests are played. Whenever you see an *At-Large* indication in a playoff bracket, grab your drawers, hold your nose, cover your eyes, and plug your ears, cause somebody is about to get screwed and somebody else is about to receive a "gift". I have yet to see how the *At-Large* teams in AAAA will be determined.

I would argue that the Lower State has no teams that "should" receive such an honor, as all of the non automatic qualifiers have warts on their resumes. The team with the best win, is Wilson. And they may finish 5th in their Region.

Greenville is the best choice for one of them, and I would take Hogwaller for the other one. West Florence will probably get it, though.

No matter how it works out, a nationwide dirge of lawsuits, and ultimately, the Supreme Court, may have to decide it. LOL
