Top 100 playoff losses: Randle, Oakland and Saraland fall on a costly Friday

Richmond Randle's unbeaten season ended by four points. Oakland fell by one. Saraland came up three points short against another ranked Alabama contender.

Friday's playoffs brought a string of tough exits for teams in the T25PS Top 100, along with a different kind of setback in Florida, where pool play gives teams another chance.
