Was able to catch the D1 final. Great hard fought match from both squads. Does anyone know where to find quality photos from all the LHSAA finals?

Cheers!

Dutchtown seemed a much better team than Byrd from the games I watched Catholic play against each of them.

It appears to me they force ranked the 4 semi finalist to 1-4 and the 4 quarterfinal losers to 5-8. At least for D1, maybe all.

That appears to be the case in DIV.. Still I think it is a fair assessment..

I hate being the only devil's advocate, but "force rank" just seems like the wrong term. If everyone voted the same 1-8, sure, you can called it forced. But I'm not sure the coaches all voted for the same 1-4 or 1-8 in any division even though all voted for the same #1 (as expected).

Division I - 10 voters where each vote tallies as follows: #1=15 points; #2=14; #3=13; #4=12

1 Catholic - B.R. [10] 150 (17-2-0)
2 St. Paul's 139 (21-4-0) - 1 voted #3
3 Jesuit 130 (18-1-1) - 1 voted #2, 1 voted #4, so balanced out as consensus #3
4 C.E. Byrd 114 (16-4-5) - missed 6 points; some had as #5, 6, & 7.

Division II - where there's literally a tie at #3 ...

Actually I'm just going to stop. I think the numbers are more nuanced than we like to admit (or sift through). Sure Denham ended up at #5 and Dutchtown ended up at #6 . . . but out of 1200 points, there's a whopping 2 point difference (yeah, .0017% difference between the two). In other words, I read that as coaches telling me that Denham and Dutchtown were so close it was tough to choose who was "better." So "forced" rubs me the wrong way - it doesn't look like coaches blindly slotted teams 1-8 across the board to me.
