Four still alive in city football race

I'll start by saying the chances of this plot actually playing out are just about impossible.

That said, some pretty strange things have happened this football season. Let's see if they happen in Baltimore City's crowded Division I race.

Here’s what could happen: It could end up in a four-way tie for first place. Poly, Dunbar, City and Patterson are all within a game of each another going into this weekend’s regular-season finales. Poly and Dunbar are 6-1 in the Division. City and Patterson are 5-2.

Here's what would have to happen to give all four a share of the title.

• City must beat No. 11 Poly

• Digital Harbor must upset No. 9 Dunbar

• Patterson must beat Northwestern.

Highly unlikely all three will happen. Two, maybe.

Still, it’s an interesting scenario to contemplate. There are no tiebreakers in the city league, so co-champs are not uncommon, but four would be quite a crowd at the top.
