Class 3 Districts set, Branson waits for Class 5

The official brackets will not be released until tomorrow however the order is already set for the Class 3 district that Reeds Spring and Hollister play in.. and they are pretty much the same as I had been projecting.

Reeds Spring will hang on to the number one seed and will get to play at home throughout the District Playoffs. Hollister made a run at Mt Vernon for the four spot but even the win and bonus points for playing up a class were not enough and the Tigers will finish in the fifth spot. Honestly they would have played the Mountaineers either way but were hoping to get them at home instead the game will be on the turf at Mt Vernon. And as expected East Newton finishes in the seventh spot but since they beat Seneca head to head the two will flip spots…. Here is what the seeds will look like and the matchups..

Reeds Spring
Monett
Cassville
Mt Vernon
Hollister
East Newton (finishes 7th but jumps to 6th)
Seneca (6th but drops because head to head loss)
Aurora

Aurora at Reeds Spring
Hollister at Mt Vernon
Seneca at Monett
East Newton at Cassville

Class 5 is the place where a change could still take place. As of this writing at 12:30 am the only spot up in the are if the 5th seed. Right now Waynesville sits .04 ahead of Central. While going into the week it looked like Branson’s most likely opponent in round one would be the Bulldogs that is up for debate right now. For that to happen only a few of Central’s opponents from this year would have to win Week Nine, but wins by those teams have been few are far between. It could still change so hard to call this one done yet… Something to think about… If Catholic does not block the Reeds Spring Field Goal to beat the Wolves. This is not a question and Central gets the Five. Or if ANY SINGLE ONE of Centrals opponents that lost would have won it would have made a difference…. So, all that being said the way it looks they will still get a winless team but unless their is a change it will be Waynesville…. Also, the Lighthouse Christian Game vs Summit Christian (yes a MSHSAA game) has yet to be posted… But as of now, here is what it looks like…
