Maybe Lee Peacock knows something about this. Was looking at Excel's 1974 team and saw they went 10-0 and didnt make the playoffs. Found an article from Lee's blog that says:
Excel unbeaten, misses playoffs: Coach Lee Holladay?s Excel High School Panthers got their 33rd consecutive season win Friday night as they upended a powerful McKenzie team 26-0 to complete their third straight undefeated season.
The Panthers ended the season tied with Lyeffion for the Area 2 championship but will not go to the state playoffs, losing to the Alabama High School Athletic Association tie-breaking rule.
(Standout Excel players that season included Rhett Barnes, Butch Grissette, Al Hall, Johnny House, James Jordan, Rex McCants, Keith McMillian, Mike McQueen and Darrell Wiggins.)

Lyeffion went 5-4 that year and made the playoffs over a 10-0 Excel team. Just curious of how this was decided. Was it a coin flip? Just thought it was interesting.
Anyone that can shed light to this, I would be interested in hearing.
