Updated Playoff Standings

Here are the playoff standings as of this morning:

1. Kent (15)
2. Gunnery (13)
3. Westminster (13)
4. Nobles (12)
5. Belmont Hill (11)
6. Choate (9)
7. Salisbury (9)
8. KUA (8)
9. Cushing (6)
10. Milton (5)
11. Avon (5)
12. Tabor (4)
13. NMH (3)
14. Exeter (3)
15. Berkshire (1)
16. Dexter (0)

If the season were to end this morning, the quarterfinal playoff matchups would be:

#8 KUA @ #1 Kent
#5 Belmont Hill @ #4 Nobles
#6 Choate @ #3 Westminster
#7 Salisbury @ #2 Gunnery

Some Observations:

With Milton beating Belmont Hill in overtime, the Mustangs jumped from 14^th to 10^th, and are now scratching on the door of the playoffs. Belmont Hill dropped from #2 - from hosting a playoff game - to 5^th place, which would see them facing off against a Nobles team that has won their last 17 games. (But why wait until the playoffs? Belmont Hill faces off tonight at 5:00 at Nobles.)

Another overtime 'upset' was Choate beating Avon 2-1 on Wednesday. The two teams basically switched places in the tournament, with Choate jumping from 9^th to 6^th, while Avon dropped five spots to 11^th.

While Hotchkiss pulled off a 5-2 upset at #1 Kent, this did little to shake up the standings at the top of the league. Hotchkiss, however, has momentum now and is making a push for the postseason: they are now only one spot out of the large school tournament. As it stands now, the top 14 large schools have some form of postseason play to look forward to. If # 8 KUA drops out of the top eight in the JSPR rankings, there will be 15 large school teams playing after the season ends. On Saturday KUA goes on the road to face off against Cushing (4:00 pm) in a game that means a lot for both of these teams' chances. Cushing, currently in the 9th spot, and looking in on the main tournament, is the top-ranked remaining large school and boasts an RPI better than four teams currently in the elite eight. However, Cushing gets hurts by another aspect of the formula: record vs. teams under consideration.

Time is running out for #13 NMH. The Hoggers have a key tilt at #6 Choate on Sunday at 3:00.

Another game that carries major implications this weekend is Avon @ Salisbury (3:30 pm. on Sat.). And Choate needs to keep winning. The Wild Boars are at Taft (2:30 pm on Sat.). 

Large School Tournament Observations:

Note that Andover, barely in the playoffs, has four games remaining and must play near perfection to hold or improve their position. They play three games against teams above them within the next two weeks: @ Tabor, @ NMH and at home vs. Exeter. Hotchkiss, right behind Andover, will be at Trinity-Pawling on Saturday. Deerfield, already owner's of the league's hardest schedule, has the opportunity to make a splash as their games against Exeter, Kent, and Westminster will definitely play a role in the final standings.

Large School Tournament Standings:

Small School Tournament Standings:

The small school division, except at the top, is still wide open. In fact, three teams -- Pomfret, Tilton, and South Kent -- would be in the playoffs with a .500 or lower winning percentage.
