It couldn't be more intresting Friday Night when Hazel Green visits Florence. As it stands the Falcons are in fifth place because Hazel Green defeated Decatur. That means if Florence can beat Hazel Green then both teams along with Decatur (assuming they lose to Bob Jones next week) will be in a three way tie for 3rd and 4th place. The tie breaker would be head to head - but they all beat each other. Listed below is a copy of the official tie-breakers from the AHSAA6A
Place School Overall Region Remaining Games
1 Bob Jones 8-0 6-0 Decatur
2 Decatur 4-4 4-2 Bob Jones
2 Hazel Green 6-2 4-2 Florence
2 Huntsville 5-3 4-2 Grissom
5 Florence 5-3 3-3 Hazel Green
5 Buckhorn 3-5 2-4 Sparkman
7 Grissom 1-7 1-5 Huntsville
8 Sparkman 0-8 0-6 Buckhorn
b) If more than two teams are tied for any place, the team that defeated all the other tied teams in the required regular season games will be placed ahead of all the other tied teams.
If more than two teams are tied for any place and one of the teams did not defeat all the other tied teams, the tie cannot be resolved by this factor. NOTE: (applicable in b through p) If two teams tie for the highest winning percentage ahead of all the other teams involved in the tie, apply the two-team tiebreaking factors for those two teams, beginning with (a) and the highest-ranked team will be placed ahead of all tied teams. Then, if needed, for all other teams involved in the original tie, apply tiebreaker (a) if only two teams remain and (b) if more than two teams remain.
