Quite a few didnt play this week. If it cant be made up will hurt a lot in seeding. Only playing 10 games is a big disadvantage of a lot. WRH already has 2 loses and and will result in at most a 8-2 record going into the playoffs. Clinton who only play 10 games will really be hit if it cant be made up. SWO had a bye this week so we are OK.
Missed games effect on seeding ?
- Thread starter SWO-#1_rivals
- Start date
In 2016 they delayed the playoffs 1 week due to hurricane matthew.
Hope everyone can get their scheduled games in. But of little importance compared to the damage, property, and loss of life. I left Jacksonville in 03 after two hurricanes in 28 days. Hope everyone fares well and start the long recovery. Lots of friends, my sons family in NC and sister in SC still, so far all is well with them.
Clinton is. covered, their opponent last Friday Southern Lee has same open date 9/28 and will make it up 9/27
I'd be shocked if a lot of schools don't have at least 2 games to make up. Depending on bye week, that would work with pushing back playoffs. Quite possible a couple of schools could miss 3
Story today in the JDN about the damage on area athletic facilities. Looks like most had some damage on gyms. Seems the softball/baseball fields got the worst of it; SWO says only one tree down across a fence at Padgett Field and scattered limbs around. Our scheduled game with Croatan there. Croatans field is OK also. Only problem is TRAVEL. Wouldnt help to move the game to SWO as if we cant get there they cant get here, Dont look good.
Onslow county schools closed thru Friday 9/21. No football this week for SWO, Jax, NS Jax, White Oak, Dixon
Still, no word from the NCHSAA extending the season as most schools in eastern North Carolina, particularly southeastern NC will not be playing for the 2nd week in a row this week. I really can't see how they cant extend the season 1 week if not two!
Been wondering that my self. Our conference has it pretty tough... all schools and surrounding towns have major flooding. I know the Columbus county school system is closed for the remainder of the week which puts us out two games so far with no bye week. Curious to see how’s this all plays out
Now the NCHSSA says it will be at least September before they make as decision about season extension
Pushing it back also impacts the winter sports season which starts practice on Nov. 1. Then that woudl push back spring sports, etc. Hope they find a way to fix things right for the schools affected by the storm. Example of a major issue, the NCHSAA has already booked the date for the state wrestling tournament and the Greensboro Colisieum. Probably take an act of congress to be able to move a scheduled event like that back.
Bladen County Schools will start back to school on Wednesday next week at the earliest. We had 5 or 6 schools that were used as shelters that have to be cleaned up plus a lot of leaking roofs that have to be fixed. I seriously doubt we will play next Friday so that's 3 games for us to make up. Cape Fear River Flooding will be as bad as Matthew, if not worse.
Something else to consider.....
Per the NCHSAA, "teams that miss 5 or more consecutive days of practice must have 3 days of practices upon returning before any competition can be held."
Duplin County is in a very bad situation and I am sure others in SE North Carolina are as well. Roads washed out, homes destroyed, still no electricity or running water in many areas.
This is going to cause a scheduling nightmare but compared to the nightmare that's been going on almost a week it is a much easier fix.
Hope everyone stays safe.
