Method
- The two sides are the games before and after one date, so the shuffle moves any game between them.
- Who played is read from the schools’ box scores’ participation lists for 7 of these 8 games; in the other game a player is counted as in it when the box score has a stat for him.
- 17 games in 2024 and 2025 are neither with Ja'Kobi Jackson nor since Ja'Kobi Jackson’s last game: Ja'Kobi Jackson had no game for the team those seasons, and sit out.
