Instead of following the decision

that was made by the coaches at a spring 2000 meeting that list the tie-breaker

as follows (taken directly out of an e-mail sent by Jason Byars):

1. Win-loss record in the region

games (last four games).

2. Head to head.

3. Total win-loss record in

all six games.

4. Coin toss.

Jason Byars decided to follow

the gentlemen's agreement." The rules everyone supposedly agreed

to, but just didn't have time to write down.

I have read this trying to

make his decision make sense. I just can't. The Flat Rock Middle School

Eagles were told on Thursday, Oct. 18, by e-mail that they were Fayette

County champs. Then they were told that Jason Byars had changed his mind

and decided to go with the coin toss, which was made before the season

was complete.

I am very disappointed, not

because Flat Rock wasn't in the playoffs, but because so many people sat

back and did nothing to stop this farce. (School Board, are you listening?)

Let's see... should I just

forget about it? I think I'll flip a coin.
