I was curious when I saw this first round match up in the upper bracket of the Lima sectional. Lima CC was clearly the #1 or #2 seed but evidently elected to pass on the bye they had earned. I suppose Coach Burkholder might have been looking to get his players, especially the seniors, an extra game. Maybe playing an over matched Spencerville team was payback for the T-Birds being asked to leave the Northwest Conference? Beyond that I am unsure why he would risk injury to a starter by playing an unnecessary game against a clearly over matched opponent. For sportsmanship sake, it would have been nice to see Spencerville and Lincolnview play in this opening match of the sectional with one or the other earning a victory to advance and meet Lima CC in the second round.
