2A having both 17th seeded Eastland-Pearl City and 22nd seeded Shelbyville shows conference strength matters.
3A has 23rd seeded Pontiac alive and kicking too.
Wild times but its cool to see given these kids wouldn't have made it into the playoffs under the previous system.

Do we want to eliminate the possibility of this happening next year? I don’t think so.

His story is still being written! Excited for Saturday
Beau Chance tore up his elbow during his first practice at Sacred Heart Griffin.
In his senior season - he threw for over 1500 yards at Auburn after lengthy rehab and a transfer back to his hometown

From 0-9 last year to winning a playoff game, one of the best stories of the high school football season is the @AuburnTrojan .... I spoke with Coach Ryan Gardner about the team's win over Routt and this week's opponent Red Bud.

PLAYOFF FUN FACT: In the Opening Round we had 11 teams that would have not made the playoffs under the old system win games in 1A-3A. The #22 seed was the most popular with 4 of them advancing to next week. Casey-Westfield, Shelbyville, Oregon, & Woodstock (Marian)
