November 9, 201411 yr The dumbest thing about these football playoffs is that the top seed doesn't always gets the home game. Stevenson is #1 and if they win, they will have to play the state semifinal on the road.

Here's what they do and I hate it: If a team has not had a home game yet, they get the home game. If both teams have had a home game and one team was on the road the previous week then they host. If both teams hosted a playoff game the previous week, it goes to the higher seed. It's dumb. It's the way it's always been though.
November 9, 201411 yr I'd like their reasoning on why the #1 team has to go on the road for a state semifinal. "Well, because it's not fair that they've had more home games/" Um, yes it is. THEY'RE #1!!!

We were always on the road late in the playoffs. You just deal with it. It is a dumb rule though.
November 22, 201411 yr Hope they finally get that state title next week! Edited November 22, 201411 yr by Rowand44

November 28, 201411 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 03:58 PM) Brian, how do I watch the game tomorrow? They're on Comcast sports net up here. Ihsa.tv streams them. Go HF. Edited November 28, 201411 yr by Brian
November 30, 201411 yr So according to text message updates the Stevenson game was about the craziest last 3 minutes in the history of life. But woo champs! First of two state titles this school year for Stevenson.
