2A having both 17th seeded Eastland-Pearl City and 22nd seeded Shelbyville shows conference strength matters. 3A has 23rd seeded Pontiac alive and kicking too. Wild times but its cool to see given these kids wouldn't have made it into the playoffs under the previous system.

Shelbyville 14 Pana 0 at the start of the 2nd. Rams looking sharp while the Panthers are racking up more penalties than first downs.

Do we want to eliminate the possibility of this happening next year? I don’t think so.

FINAL (22) Shelbyville 28 (6) Pana 13 We have a 2A Cinderella. A reminder the Rams won one game — in Week 9 — plus a forfeit by Clinton, and they’ve now slayed Carmi-White County and Pana in the playoffs. Shelbyville gets winner of (3) Flora and (14) Central A&M.

PLAYOFF FUN FACT: In the Opening Round we had 11 teams that would have not made the playoffs under the old system win games in 1A-3A. The #22 seed was the most popular with 4 of them advancing to next week. Casey-Westfield, Shelbyville, Oregon, & Woodstock (Marian)
