Big T, trust me. In Utah, keep your mouth shut and work any and all assigned games. Talking to the UHSAA about who works what games in the tournament is not the right idea.

Your board should be honest with you, but don't approach the state about not working further in the state tournament...it will not help you. I have seen too many people try it and shoot themselves in the foot. The state assigns those games as they see fit.

But, the OP is in MD, not UT. So the advice of "depends on the area" is correct.

Which is why I prefaced my comments with the quotes by Big T. Trying to help a local.
