Thursday night playoff round-up: Here’s where teams stand in the GHSA
This academic year, the GHSA is using a power ratings system, which includes the use of a math model that ranks teams based on game scores. It helps seed playoff teams from A Division I to 3A. But it isn’t foolproof, we saw that with girls' basketball this season.
“Made me want to cry, made me want to shout, the joy that they thought about little ol’ me, so it’s just shocking and I thank god for everyone and I appreciate it. It means a lot knowing that somebody cares,” said Butler.
She says she’s always wanted to help children, especially at the beginning of their lives before they enter the world.
“I always wanted to teach and work with children, help children to learn, to be ready when they get out in the world. This is where it starts in the daycare when they are four years old, this is where they start, and 6 weeks old, so I just thank god for being here,” said Butler.
