Here is how it will break down, Huntsville will travel to Jacksonville Wednesday, If Huntsville wins we get them, If Jacksonville wins, and Columbus defeats Fayetteville also on Wednesday Night we get Columbus. If both Huntsville and Columbus lose, then we get Fayetteville.

The final standings came down to the final game of the SPHL season, and it took overtime to decide it. The Jacksonville Barracudas traveled to Huntsville to face the Havoc. While the Havoc was locked into sixth place win or lose the Barracudas needed a win to claim the all important second place.

With a score of 3 to 3 at the end of regulation, Huntsville's Steve Howard ended it with a goal 31 seconds into overtime. The upset gave second place to the Macon Trax and sets up a rematch in Jacksonville between the Barracudas and Havoc for a single game elimination expected to be played Tuesday or Wednesday night in Jacksonville.
