The 8th ranked Class AA Webster County Highlanders will host the Braxton County Eagles Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in an opening round sectional playoff game.
Ravenswood hosted Braxton County Monday evening in the "play-in" playoff game. The Eagles beat the Red Devils in a mild upset 54 to 41 to advance to meet the number one seeded Highlanders. Webster defeated Braxton twice this year, by scores of 72 to 43 at Braxton and 56 to 38 at home.
If the Highlanders defeat Braxton, they would advance to the sectional championship against the winner of the Roane County - Ritchie County game, which game will be played Tuesday evening at Roane County.
In the final Associated Press ("AP") poll of the year, Webster finished ranked 8th despite having the second best record among the top ten teams in the poll. Potential sectional championship opponent Ritchie County finished 10th and Roane County received votes from the AP writers.
Here is the final Class AA poll (with team records):
2. Fairmont Senior, 16-6
3. Robert C. Byrd, 16-6
4. Westside, 16-6
5. Wyoming East, 15-8
6. Poca, 16-6
7. Tolsia, 14-8
8. Webster County, 17-3
9. Bridgeport, 16-6
