Yeah. We've only got 5 teams but we're doing a pretty good imitation of Region 1.

Hey, You can't make fun of Region 1.

A Region 1 team has played for the State Championship 3 years in a row.

Region 1 is the defending State Champs.

Chanting....REGION 1, REGION 1, REGION 1!

This week's bracket projection will be out soon...

Been a little busy this weekend with work and Rebel-fan-2031. Being Grandpa!!

Some games this past Friday have shaken up things some, while some were true to form. This week, we have a couple of big games with GIGANTIC IMPACT on the brackets.

More to come......

74 which games are you thinkin make a huge impact on the brackets. Im thinking the spartanburg byrnes game will have an impact although I see Byrnes winning big.

That's one, of course, and while I would like to share your confidence in "winning big" I'm going to act more like a coach and say it may be the biggest game we've played this season. Northwestern was big for "ranking purposes" but rankings are political and not that important to me. I understand them, even try to get a SCPREPTALK TOP TEN every week, but deep down, I understand they are not worth a whole lot. Region Championships lead to more home playoff games and it's better to be at home than go to them!

Other games that could shake the brackets include:

Hanna - Easley - While no one sees this as the game to determine the Region Championship, Region One gets four bids to the playoffs.... as of right now, I'd say 1) Hillcrest, 2) Greenwood, 3) Laurens, and 4) Woodmont or the winner of this game! You have to think the loser is probably NOT going to make the playoffs. Think of it as you are a softball team and you lost your first game and you fall to what we always called the losers bracket, now called the "elimination game!"

Mauldin - Dorman - Will the Mavericks catch Dorman still down from last week's loss? Mauldin's only loss is to Hillcrest, who just beat Greenwood and almost beat Dorman.... Personally I wouldn't take Mauldin and 13.5 points, but this is high school football and I wouldn't have taken Hillcrest and 3 against Dorman or Greenwood and I would have lost on both of those games!

South Pointe - Northwestern - Remember last year? I'm betting the Trojans do...

White Knoll - Spring Valley - Two 5-0 teams that no one seems to be mentioning at all. Are either of them "REALLY GOOD"? or is it just that they have played some really bad teams?

White Knoll A.C. Flora
White Knoll Mid-Carolina
White Knoll Airport
White Knoll Carolina Forest
White Knoll Lugoff-Elgin

Spring Valley Lower Richland
Spring Valley Clover
Spring Valley Lexington
Spring Valley Westwood
Spring Valley South Aiken

Stratford - Summerville You figure Summerville is the odds on favorite for Region 8 unless Fort Dorchester finally quits choking and actually beats Summerville (sorry dfactor, it's just every time I pick you guys you let me down!) A loss would cost the Wave a full point in seeding and could mean a road game if they make it to the Friday after Thanksgiving instead of hosting someone.... NOT THAT I SEE THAT HAPPENING!


So, there you go... now I'll sharpen my pencil and pick these and about 125 other games to see what the bracket projection might look like.

Wow thanks 74 you have opened my eyes up to what could really go around. I think I am just tired of hearin the vikings fans talk about how this game would be an upset if Byrnes won but hey it is what it is. I am just glad you have the patients and are smart enough to do a projections list cause I can assure you I am not and with the insight you give it is amazing
