Just for the record, the meeting was held on Saturday, April 23, with 5 region games remaining on the schedule. At the time of the meeting Lexington and S. Aiken were tied for 1st place, White Knoll 3rd, N. Augusta 4th, Aiken 5th, and OW 6th. No one knew for sure how things would turn out, but a 3-way tie for 3rd place was a strong possibility, and that is what eventually happened.
The question has to be, not just why did WK get 4 players on the team, but why did WK, NA, and Aiken get more than SA? One less for each of the third place teams would have allowed 5 for S. Aiken which is in keeping with the fact that they tied for first place with Lexington.
