The Ephrata boys' basketball team missed out on the District 3
basketball playoffs last season despite a winning record.
Under a proposal that is likely to be approved and go into effect
next season, an identical 12-11 record would allow the Mountaineers
to compete in the playoffs.
The number of teams that shared Ephrata's fate last season was
enough to prompt District 3 to come up with a plan, said district
chairman Jim Ellingsworth.
The new proposal would allow teams with winning records to compete
in the playoffs, even if their power ratings don't qualify them for
the 16-team field.
