Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. You show up for an entire season and have the best record you have earned an "easy" game in the first round. Look at the NCAAM basketball tourney. A 16 seed has NEVER beaten a 1 seed but there have been some nail biters. It is part of the fun of a tournament.
From a subjective point of view, a healthy Richlands team is a team no one wants to see in the playoffs as a first round pull... maybe not even a 2nd round. They are not very good this year but I can about guarantee Graham/Union are hoping the math works out and they are a 6 seed.
Ehh, the more this thing unfolds, he does have some things to lose. Mainly, he accused a guy of stealing money and selling drugs. If both are false or even one, GS will most likely get sued I would imagine.
