Saint James Overtime Games: (from most
recent, ¶ indicates a playoff game)
Saint James' varsity, unlike many other programs,
has never played a *tie* game. For years, non-area games
could end in a tie at the
discretion of the coaches. Now, all varsity games are
subject to overtime provisions. The Junior Varsity teams
and middle school
and/or Junior High teams have played to several tie results over
the years. Currently, Saint James Junior Varsity and
Middle School
teams do not break ties in games which end in regulation in a
tie score. That has not always been the case in the past.
Saint James is 12 - 9 at home in playoff history,
but only 4 - 16 on the road. They are 1 - 0 in neutral
site games (the 2022 State Championship in Auburn)
Saint James has won two games by forfeit - when
the game did not even take place
Saint James has one win by "no game" where the
opponent disbanded their team after the start of the season but
prior to the game date.
Saint James and another team mutually agreed to
cancel a game to allow the opponent to participate in a
post-season Bowl Game.
Therefore, no "forfeit" was in effect.
Saint James has never had to forfeit a game themselves.
