I inquired about this on a HS football website, and they said since the district race to make the playoffs was so tight, both coaches agreed to do so. The reason being point differential.

Is this proper procedure in TX HS football, or did they get it wrong in the end. With four teams making the playoffs from one district now, I thought was kind of a moot point.

I just find it bizarre that OT points would be figured in "point differential"! It should go into the standings calculation as a win by 0.
