Brownwood Lions head football coach Sammy Burnett on Monday provided an update on the tiebreaker scenario in the race for the District 2-4A Division I football championship.

Brownwood (7-2, 3-0) can clinch the district championship outright – which last occurred in 2010 – with a victory at Andrews (5-3, 1-1) Friday night in the Lions’ regular season finale.

If the Lions were to loss the game, however, Andrews would have to win by at least 8 points to snatch the No. 1 playoff seed from Brownwood.

The reason – Lubbock Estacado’s 42-36 overtime win over Andrews was scored differently than a typical game due it being extended to an extra session. Instead of Estacado (4-4, 1-1) being awarded six points for the win and Andrews losing six, Estacado picked up just one point and Andrews lost one because the game went into overtime.

Therefore, heading into Friday’s game Brownwood is at +15 points – the max awarded for a win – Andrews sits at -1 point, and Estacado is now at -14 and out of the mix for the top playoff seed.

If Andrews wins by 8 points, its point total would improve to +7 while the Lions number would fall to +7, but Andrews would have to the head-to-head advantage having picked up the victory.

Therefore, for the Lions to be the No. 1 postseason seed from District 2-4A Division I Brownwood must either win or lose by less than seven points.
