Quote: Actually just to set the record straight for you Hurst, Clover was THE III/IV Champion. You can think what you want BUT the fact is the Clover won it outright on tiebreaker. Whether you chose to accept that or not is your choice but it is a matter of fact. If the roles were reversed I strongly believe you would be defending your position. Yes it was a close race but there was only one champ not two. That's why there are rules in place to settle who is the champ. I don't see anywhere in the SCHSL handbook about co-champs...
It would not be in the SCHSL handbook. Each region sets their own guidelines on how to handle ties in region standings. I don't know about region III-AAAA, but the following comes from the Region IV AAAA Handbook, Schedules and By-laws:
"If the teams are tied for first and split their head to head contests, we will declare co or tri-champions."
Below this is the outline of tie breakers for determining the playoff seeding.
