Quote: St. Joseph's agreed to "forfeit" the tie-breaker game to Ben Lippen, per my AD a few moments ago. This is due to the fact that regardless of taking the #2 or #3 seed, St. Joseph's would have to travel to a neutral field. This way Ben Lippen gets the home game on Tuesday vs one of the Hilton Head teams and St. Joseph's will be the #3 seed from the region.
Heathwood and Hammond are supposed to play Friday I think to determine the #4 seed. Exciting times!
This is an absolute travesty and borders on unethical. That forfeit has huge implications on the opposite side of the playoff bracket. It means that whichever Hilton Head team finishes in second place will not receive a home game they deserve and earned because of the 180 mile travel rule. If I was one of those coaches or AD's I would be screaming my head off.
