There were smiles in the Calloway County football camp this weekend after Hopkins Central knocked off Lone Oak — not necessarily because the Purple Flash went down (that's a bonus, given the blossoming rivalry between the two), but because it gave Calloway new life in the Class 4A district race.
Calloway travels to Hopkins Central next week, and it appears the Lakers control their own destiny in their quest for a district title and the guarantee of home games for the first two rounds of the playoffs.
In the case of a three-way tie where the tied teams have split their games, the tiebreaking formula awards points for games won by a team's defeated opponents. In other words, the tougher your schedule, the more it helps you in such a scenario if you actually win some of those games.
At the moment, Calloway has the edge in the tiebreaker and could pick up several additional points by beating Mayfield this week and Graves County in the regular-season finale. At the moment, it looks like Lone Oak would finish second in the tiebreaker, with Hopkins Central third.
Stay tuned ...
