I wonder why there are so few to comment on this thread. 2 tough teams and then a step down but still contenders at the top.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Look forward to the next match up of Mediapolis and Williamsburg. I got Mepo winning next time and I do believe they will meet this year in the playoffs.

 

[ORSKY1]

That sounds about right. I know Albia is ranked up there, but not having Holloway in last years playoff game was the difference in that game. I also believe Mepo will win the rematch. The Mepo coach made some critical adjustments at the half. They were however outplayed in the first half and the deficit could have been bigger. Penalties were also a big impact on this game, and I felt Mepo may have been helped in this area in the first half as well. One of the hardest hitting games I have watched in years.

who will win the game between central Lee vs mid-prairie this Friday night. and why.

 

[ORSKY1]

Mid Prairie will win this game. When I saw Central Lee play, they appeared fairly solid but outmatched against Mediapolis. Then I saw the score of the WBND game and realized that they aren't competitive yet for this District. Mid Prairie has played a tougher schedule and appears to have been competitive in some of those games they should lose. Given that information I would list MP as a 14 point favorite.

 

[MepoDawg#]

I'll take Mid-Prairie by 20, I underestimated Mid-Prairie and overestimated Central Lee and West Burlington. Though I haven't seen 2 of 3 yet.

 

[ORSKY1]

I have watched Central Lee 1 and WBND 2. Neither are in MP range at this point.

 

[ORSKY1]

Okay, now it is very likely Wellman Mid-Prairie, WBND and Central Lee will all end up 3-3 in District. CL beat MP, MP beat WBND and WBND beat CL. What will be the next tie breaker this year to determine the 3 and 4 out of this district?

 

[MepoDawg#]

Determining the district third place team:
1. The team with the 3rd fewest district losses will be the district third place team.
2. If a tie exists between 2 schools for the district third place team, head to head competition will be used, loser will be the district fourth place team.
3. If a tie exists between 3 or more schools for the district third place team, and one school defeated the others head to head, they will be the district third place team.
4. If a tie exists between 3 or more schools for the district third place team, and all teams have defeated Each other:
a. The 13 point tie breaker (using plus and minus points of district games divided by the total number of games played within the district) will decide the district third place team. The team with the highest tiebreaker average will be the district third place team. The team with the second highest tiebreaker average will be the district fourth place team.
b. If a 2-way tie exists among the highest tiebreaker average:
(1) Head to Head competition will be used, team with highest tiebreaker will be district third place team.
c. If a 3-way tie exists among the highest tiebreaker average:
(1) Alphabetical system-FIRST alphabetical will be the qualifier(s) in 2014.
V. Determining the district fourth place team:
1. The team with the 4th fewest district losses will be the district fourth place team.
2. If a tie exists between 2 schools for the district fourth place team, head to head competition will be used, loser will be out.
3. If a tie exists between 3 or more schools for the district fourth place team, and one school defeated the others head to head, they will be the district fourth place team.
4. If a tie exists between 3 or more schools for the district fourth place team, and all teams have defeated Each other:
a. The 13 point tie breaker (using plus and minus points of district games divided by the total number of games played within the district) will decide the district fourth place team. The team with the highest tiebreaker average will be the district fourth place team.
b. If a 2-way tie exists among the highest tiebreaker average:
(1) Head to Head competition will be used, team with highest tiebreaker will be district fourth place team.
c. If a 3-way tie exists among the highest tiebreaker average:
(1) Alphabetical system-FIRST alphabetical will be the qualifier(s) in 2014

So I presume these 3 teams will be trying to run up their scores in the last two weeks.

 

[brain2biceps]

The limit on margin of victory is 13 points ... so running up the score isn't needed.

What can and does happen though ... late in a tie game, a team could score a go-ahead touchdown to be up 7 (or 8) ... and then onside kick (or use timeouts on defense) to get the ball back and score a second touchdown.

Last year, happened in 1A ... Alburnett needed to beat Tipton by 11 to make the playoffs ... game is tied late, Alburnett scores, gets the 2-point conversion, and then up 8 they onside kick to try to get the ball back. There was no more scoring though and they missed the playoffs.

 

[rogerfrank]

Hey didn't Central Lee win that game. And why

 

[rogerfrank]

How did Central Lee do?

 

[brain2biceps]

Central Lee did beat Mid-Prairie ... but that earlier loss to WBND was crucial.

Looking at the next tiebreaker step on points:

Right now, Mid-Prairie is in the best position -- point differential of +11 (the state divides this by number of games played, but an unnecessary step for this analysis) ... as long as they beat West Liberty by 13 or more, they should be safely in ... even if they suffer a lopsided loss to Mediapolis.

Central Lee is at +2 right now... tough game with Williamsburg, and then district season is done. Figure they finish at -11.

And WBND is at 0 ... with games left against Mediapolis and L-M. If you project a 2 TD win for MePo, brings the differential to -13 ... then they need to beat L-M by at least 3 in regulation to be ahead of Central Lee in the standings.

Not all bleak for Central Lee though ... if L-M can somehow force overtime, or just lose by 1 or 2 points ... or maybe win the game outright (BC Moore has them pretty close in power rankings) ...

If L-M can pull off the upset in the final week, Central Lee would jump to 3rd in the standings ... and that's big to likely avoid Albia in the first round of playoffs.

can mid-prairie beat mediapolis on Friday night? what will mid-prairie half to do to beat them.

 

[BRANDONJ8]

will the mid-prairie vs mediapolis game on Friday night be close or a blowout. im asking you mepodawg.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Mid-Prairie could beat Mepo, but I don't think they will. Senior night and #2 in the district (home playoff game) on the line. Mepo hasn't played well the few weeks. I look for them to come out and try to dominate.

To win Mid-Prairie will have to hit a couple big plays and take away Mepo's running game which is a lot easier said than done otherwise control the clock.

I look for Mepo to establish the running game then work on passing.

Special teams will have a huge impact, Mepo struggled last week tackling, but have really good kick returns.
