Thursday’s matches
Maiden at E. Lincoln, 6 p.m.
N. Lincoln at Lincolnton, 6 p.m.
Note: Conference officials announced the title race will be determined by an 11-match record and any of the top five teams could adjust that record based on matches against the final three teams in the standings.
Through Wednesday, none of the top five had lost a match to a bottom three team (North Lincoln is at Lincolnton on Thursday).
If East Lincoln beats Maiden on Thursday, sweeping the Blue Devils, the Mustangs would get the top state 2A playoff bid. Maiden would have three league losses, same as third-place Bandys, but get the No. 2 playoff bid via sweeping the Trojans.
If Maiden beats East Lincoln, creating a tie for first place in the loss column, the two teams would have split regular season matches. Comparative records against third-place Bandys are: Maiden swept the Trojans and the Mustangs split with the Trojans so Maiden would be No. 1 and East Lincoln would get No. 2.
