Burlington, Riverside and Shoshoni will play each other in a triangular playoff at 4 p.m. Tuesday in Worland to decide the final two spots in the Class 1A 11-man playoff bracket.
The three squads tied for the third and fourth seeds from the West Conference.
The winner of Tuesday’s playoff will face Southeast in the first round, while the team that emerges as the second seed will play at Lusk. Both games will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at Yoder and Lusk, respectively.
Burlington will play Shoshoni in the first half.

The play in games today in Worland should be fun and will get the playoff atmosphere with the close proximity of the teams playing.
Good luck to all in the playoffs and safe travels for the fans!
I wonder what the record is for teams in their playoff game coming off of a triangular play-in. It seems like they are always at a huge disadvantage in the first round against a fresher, more prepared team.

The link doesn’t include the 2011 triangulars. Even so, a couple state champs have emerged from this format….
