THE regular season of the
2007 MISA High School Basketball League ends today with Kagman High School
and Marianas High School playing their last game before entering the playoffs.
The Lady Ayuyus collide with the Lady Dolphins at 4:30 p.m. with the former
hoping to sweep the regular season.
Kagmans girls team is already assured of the No. 1 seeding,
while the Lady Dolphins are hoping to end their four-game losing streak
and notch their second win to avoid being paired with the Lady Ayuyus
in the playoffs.
An upset over the undefeated Lady Ayuyus would move the Lady Dolphins
(1-4) to a semis tiff with Mt. Carmel (4-2).
But if the Lady Ayuyus sweep the regular season, MHS, which is the defending
champion in the girls division, would tie Southern High School with
a 1-5 record. To break the tie, a quotient system will be implemented
since the Lady Dolphins and the Lady Rays split their games.
In the boys division, the results of the KHS-MHS match will no longer
change the pairings in the playoffs.
After Sourthern swept the regular season, it arranged a playoff tiff with
the winless MCS Knights.
The Dolphins are currently in second place with a 3-2 record, while Kagman
is ranked third with a 2-3 slate.
MHS won its initial meeting with the Ayuyus and wants to make it two in
a row to have a big psychological advantage in their playoff game.
The playoffs will start on March 7 with the four teams in the girls
division fighting for the two championship berths.
The No. 1 team faces the No. 4 team in the first game at 4:30 p.m. , while
the No. 2 and 3 squads square off for the second and last finals ticket
at 6:30 p.m.
The playoffs in the boys division are set for March 9 with the No.
2 and 3 teams playing in the first game at 4:30 p.m. The second game will
feature the No. 1 and No. 4 squads at 6:30 p.m.
The winner-take-all championship game in the girls division is set
for March 14, while the do-or-die finals in the boysdivision is
scheduled for March 16.
