2008/2009 Federal League All-Sports Trophy Race

After the winter season (championships in parenthesis):
1. Hoover - 106.50 (football, girls CC, girls tennis, boys bb, boys swimming)
2. Jackson - 91.00 (boys golf, boys soccer)
3. Boardman - 80.50 (boys bowling, girls bowling)
4. GlenOak - 79.00 (girls swimming)
5. Perry - 68.00 (boys CC, girls golf, wrestling)
6. Lake - 57.00 (volleyball)
7. Fitch - 50.00 (girls soccer)
8. McKinley - 44.00 (girls basketball)

Comparing Hoover & Jackson in Spring sports:
Boys Tennis - Jackson has already won the league, while Hoover took second. That means the Bears will pick up 9 points, Hoover 7. Advantage: Jackson +2

Baseball - currently, Jackson is in first place, while Hoover is in 6th place. If that holds up, Jackson will earn 9 points, Hoover 3. Advantage: Jackson +6

Softball - currently, Jackson is in first place, while Hoover is in 5th place. If that holds up, Jackson will earn 9 points, Hoover 4. Advantage: Jackson +5

Boys Track* - I do not know Hoover's record, but I do know that Jackson defeated Hoover last night, and the Bears finished at 1-5-1. Advantage: unknown

Girls Track* - I do not know Hoover's record, but I do know that Hoover defeated Jackson last night, and the Bears finished at 4-3. Advantage: unknown

*While the regular season may be over, the FL track meet on 5/15 DOES factor into the final placements.

Factoring in current standings in boys tennis, baseball, & softball, Hoover has a 2.50 points lead on Jackson. That means that track is quite important for both schools, as are strong finishes on the diamond for both genders/schools.

Best of luck to both schools!

Interesting side note: Jackson and Hoover have combined to win the last eighteen FL All-Sports trophies, dating back to the 1990-1991 school year, including ten wins by Jackson and eight by Hoover, both with two retirements. And that will become nineteen straight years this year, as it is now statistically impossible for any other team to win the title this year.
 
 
I'm not sure how this affects the scoring, but the Hoover girls track team finished at 5-2 in the duel meets, while the boys track team at Hoover finished 1-6 in duel meets.
 
The softball team is doing better than I thought they would. Are they gonna finish 3rd? polar purple how bad could the baseball team hurt us?

I don't think the latter is going to matter too much in the long run, as if those track stats are correct - it's gonna take a borderline miracle for us to catch up at the FL track meet.

Hoover could finish anywhere between 3rd & 5th, realistically IMO, in softball. Hard to say right now with so many intriguing games left.

As said before, only tennis is a known right now. So much can happen, but it would take ppretty much every single thing to go our way for Jackson to catch up.
 
I don't have official figures yet, but it would appear that Hoover regained the FL All-Sports trophy last night, by doing MUCH better in the FL track meet than Jackson. Hoover's girls took 2nd place compared to 4th for the Jackson girls, and the Hoover boys finished #3, compared to Jackson who came in (argh) last place.

I really cannot figure a scenario where Jackson could win it at this point - in fact, it'll likely be about a 6-7 point win, IMO.
