The only way to fix that is to make playoffs only stats that discount Rock Bridge's prelim loss that didn't carry over.

Re: WUHSAC XIII (01/29/2011) at WUSTL (St. Louis, Missouri)

Hey, I hear SCT is somewhat short on staff, so if any St. Louis area high schoolers would like to staff, WUSTL would probably be willing to take them with us. We'd also be willing to throw in a WUHSAC discount for next year into the mix if that would convince some people.
