Friday's results in the Tri-9 created a three way tie for second place in the conference.

Athens Drive defeated Holly Springs on Friday night, 39-37, forcing a three-way tie between the two and Fuquay-Varina.

A random drawing was held Friday evening to break the tie for seeding purposes. The top three teams in each conference will get automatic bids Saturday to the playoffs. Every other team must get an at-large bid.

Fuquay-Varina won the draw, and thus will get the No. 2 seed out of the Tri-9. The Bengals will likely be a top five seed in the 4-AA East.

Athens Drive took the No. 3 slot, and Holly Springs took the No. 4 slot.

The playoff brackets will be released sometime Saturday afternoon or evening. HighSchoolOT.com will have them as soon as they are released.

Holly Springs beat FV, but FV beat Athens Drive and Athens Drive beat Holly Springs, so the draw is the only way to break the tie.
