The new system for the first time allows two teams from each district to participate in post season games. Buzzy Kieth, past president of the Texas High School Coaches Association and the person who urged the Universi ty Interscholastic League to put the expanded playoff system to a vote, said he is pleased with the confusion he has created.

El Campo is involved in a three-way tie for first place with Bay City and West Columbia in District 10-4A. The three teams are knotted at 5-2, but with its losses to Bay City and West Col umbia, El Campo must hope for one of those two teams to lose or tie this week for it to advance. “Just a few weeks ago, there were five teams still with a shot at the playoffs (in his district),” Kieth said. “That kind of thing keeps the players and fans in terested to the final game of the season. I’ve had calls from sever al coaches who at first weren’t sure about the system but no\v think it’s great.” The best aspect of the new playoff structure, Kieth said, is that it allows stronger teams that don’t win championships into post-season play. But what has the Kieth- inspired system wrought besides added fan support and stronger playoff representatives? In some districts, it has meant a sta tistician’s nightmare.
