Kirtland, as much history as it has made recently, might have run into its own history if you know what I mean by that.
On its way to the 2019 state title, the Hornets faced Sandy Valley (RQF), South Range (RSF), Manchester (RF), Oak Harbor (F4), & Ironton (SC), effectively ending all of their seasons and winning the state title.
RQF= Regional Quarterfinal
RSF= Regional Semifinal
RF= Regional Final
F4= Final Four
SC= State Championship
To win the 2020 state title (albeit in a somewhat extended postseason), they beat FOUR of the five teams they eliminated last year on the way to another championship.
This year the Hornets beat Manchester in the 2nd round, Sandy Valley in the RQF, South Range in the RF, and Ironton again in the title.
The only team Kirtland didn’t play in consecutive postseasons was Oak Harbor who had their postseason cancelled by COVID.
Has anyone ever eliminated the same four teams in consecutive postseasons? Certainly an interesting stat to research...
I don’t know, I thought this was an interesting find. What say you?
