Final week of GR Soccer for the year and here are the standings:
Division i:
1) Pembroke - 10-3-1 (@ Attica)
2) Holley - 9-2-2 (Kendall, @Alexander)
3) Alexander - 8-4-2 (Holley)
4) Byron-Bergen - 8-4-1 (Attica, Kendall)
5) Kendall - 5-7-1 (@Holley, @ Bergen)
6) Attica - 1-9-3 (@BB, Pembroke)
Pembroke and Holley are the only two teams with a chance to win the division outright, but Bergen can still become co-champs. Alexander was eliminated from title contention with the loss to Bergen Friday. I am a big nerd when it comes to standings and such so I will try to make this really simple so anyone can understand it. Pembroke and Holley are easy.
Pembroke wins the league if they win their final game and Holley must lose either of their final 2 games. Holley holds the tiebreaker over Pembroke because they beat them and tied them.
Holley wins the league if they regardless of what Pembroke does if they manage a win and a tie in their last two games because they hold the tiebreaker over Pembroke. If Pembroke loses their final game Holley would need only one tie in their final 2 to win the league. If Pembroke ties their final game Holley would need to either win one of their final two games are tie both.
Bergen can become co-champs if they win their last two games, Pembroke loses their last game and Holley loses both of their last 2 games. This would leave Pembroke 10-4-1, Bergen 10-4-1, and Holley 9-4-2. Pembroke and Bergen would be co-champs because they split the season 1 win a piece and they have identical division records.
If Holley, Pembroke, and Bergen all finished tied (Pembroke loses their final game, Bergen wins both of their final games, and Holley ties on game and loses another) it would leave them all with 21 points. In this senario Holley would win the title because they hold the tie breaker over Bergen (2 wins) and Pembroke (1 win and 1 tie).
Division II:
1) Wheatland-Chili 10-2-1 (Lyndonville)
2) Elba 7-3-3 (@ ND)
3) Lyndonville - 4-7-3 (@Oak, @ WC)
4) Oakfield-Alabama - 1-10-1 (Lyndonville, ND)
5) Batavia Notre Dame - 0-12 (Elba, @ OA)
The order of finish is all set here. With a win Wheatland will win the overall league title.
I will post a sectional preview for the league once the seedings come out at the end of the week. Wheatland and Holley both have solid chances to go deep in the playoffs in my opinion. Pembroke has a very difficult bracket (Wheatlands is no piece of cake either). Kendall and Alexander are in a very thin bracket but both will have to step up their games to make any noise in sectionals.
