Pretty even field this year!

No doubt. I was thinking yesterday if this is not the best field I've ever had for this tournament, it must be in the Top 5

Pay no attention to the current Top 25... with all those 9-0 and 8-1 pretenders... aside from 2 teams left in the Top 25, look at the Others Receiving Votes and you'll find real teams with seasoning.

Dominican beat Harding, Harding beat NM Highlands, and NM Highlands beat Dominican.

We have no Dominican vs St Mary's TX game. Given this field, each game was a toss-up so you cannot determine a Dominican win especially with that game scheduled to be at St Mary's.

This is the first time this has happened in the history of the Yarnell where all games were not scheduled.

So gonna split the championship on a technicality. What does this mean? Dominican will go down in the books as the champion with an asterick. Dominican and NM Highlands earn automatic bids next season should they accept them. Harding would too if they were not the host.
