What Is On the Line for the Spartans?

Entering their final game of the season, Scarborough has already clinched a play-off spot(their second in four seasons).  However, depending on how the final day of the season(Wednesday, February 14) plays out, they could be District 24-4A's second seed OR third seed.  What is the practical difference between these two positions?  Let's take a look.


Current Standings:

Yates- 12-0 (Yates has already clinched the district title. They will face Cleveland)
Scarborough-  8-3  (Game remaining: Wheatley-4:30 at Barnett)
North Forest-  8-3  (Game remaining: Worthing- 7:30 at Butler)
Wheatley- 6-5 (Wheatley has already clinched fourth place. They will face Hardin-Jefferson)


#2-The team that finishes in second place will play the third place finisher in District 23-4A in the first round.  This will be either Huffman or Liberty.

If they can win their first round game, the second place finisher in District 24-4A avoids a second round match-up with #1 ranked Silsbee.  They would be on a path to meet  Silsbee in the third round.

#3-The team that finishes in third place will play the second place finisher in District 23-4A in the first round.  This will also be either Huffman or Liberty.

If the #3 team can win their first round game, their prize would be a second round match-up with Silsbee.
