keep Rebels
Forfeits. Forfeits by other
teams is what helped keep
West Monroe out of the
playoffs in 1979. After a
"meaningless" game with
Carroll, the Rebs found out
that they would have to
defeat Bastrop to
go
to the
playoffs, but that they must
do
it by 14 points because
Ouachita had used an ineligible
player in its victory over
Carroll and had to forfeit the
win.
The forfeit gave Carroll a
2-2 district record. If West
Monroe, 1-2, defeated
Bastrop, 2-1, there would be
a three-way tie for second
behind Neville. If there was a
three-way tie, the point
system would have to be
brought in.
The point system showed
that the Rebs must defeat
Bastrop by 14 or not go to
the playoffs. The Rebels won
the game, but by 11 points,
giving the Rams a playoff
out
of playoffs
