2023 3A Breakdown
3A-1
Daniel is locked in as the region champion.
Pendleton can clinch 2nd place with a victory over Walhalla.
Crescent faces Daniel in week 10 and win would give them 3rd place. Should Crescent lose to Daniel, the Tigers can still finish 3rd if Walhalla loses to Pendleton.
Seneca needs a win over West-Oak to have a chance to force a 3-way tie for the 2 final playoff spots in the region.
Potential for a 3-way tie between Crescent, Walhalla, and Seneca for positions 3,4, and 5 with only two making the playoffs.
It will depend on the region’s tiebreaking system. An email has been sent.

3A-2
Belton-Honea Path will travel to Wren. The winner will be the region champion.
The loser will be in 2nd place.
Powdersville will take on Palmetto in a game that will determine the 3rd and 4th placein the region.
Fountain Inn is at Southside this week in a match-up that will give us the 5th and 6th place finishers.

3A-3
Broome at Chapman this week for the 3A Region 3 title.
The loser will finish 2nd place in the region.
Travelers Rest and Blue Ridge will kick it off for 3rd place, loser will finish fourth in region.
Carolina will finish 5th.

3A-4
Clinton wrapped up the region title last week with their win over Chester.
Chester has finished the regular season and will finish 2nd place.
Woodruff needs to a win over Union County to solidify 3rd place.
Union County will try to pull the upset on Woodruff and force a possible 3-way tie for 3rd.

3A-5
Brookland-Cayce vs. Gilbert will determine the 3A Region 5 champion.
Dreher takes on Lower Richland. A win for the Blue Devils will give them 3rd place.
Orangeburg-Wilkinson is coming off a win over Lower Richland and another win over Swansea would lock them into the playoffs. This would place the Bruins in at least 4th place with the possibility of a 3-way tie for 2nd if Lower Richland defeats Dreher.
Swansea still has hopes of making the playoffs but will need to defeat O-W and have other outcomes fall their way.

3A-6
Crestwood is the region champion after their win over Camden.
Camden will finish 2nd.
Lake City needs a win over Darlington to take control of 3rd place.
Lakewood and Marlboro County both need upsets to improve their chances at a playoff spot.
Darlington also needs a win over Lake City to give the Falcons a better chance of playing in November.

3A-7
Dillon is guaranteed to be the region champions after their win last week.
Loris will be at home against Aynor in a game that could give the Lions a 2nd place finish.
Manning needs a win over Waccamaw to guarantee the Monarchs spot in the 3A playoffs.
Aynor is in a good position to make the 3A playoffs with region wins over Waccamaw and Georgetown.
The Blue Jackets will be looking to improve that position if they can grab a win over Loris.
Waccamaw will need an upset win over Manning in week 10 to give the Warriors a chance to advance into the playoffs.
Georgetown has been eliminated from playoff contention.


3A-8
Hanahan’s win over Philip Simmons in week 9 has them in control of their own destiny and a win by the Hawks over Beaufort would give them the 3A Region 8 Title.
Philip Simmons plays Battery Creek in week 10 and a win will have the War Horses checking the scoreboards to see the outcome of the Hanahan vs. Beaufort contest. Should Beaufort win but not win too decisively it could put Philip Simmons back atop the region standings.
Beaufort still has a mathematical chance at the region crown, but they would have a ton of ground to make up after losing by 30 to Philip Simmons earlier this year.
North Charleston has finished their regular season and should be locked into 4th position in the standings.

Here's 1-3A tie breaking process if that's what you were looking for:

ARTICLE VIII: FOOTBALL
Section 1: To be eligible for the region championship in football, each member school must play all other member schools.
Section 2: The won-lost records within region play shall determine the region champion
Section 3: All regular ties will be “played off” using the method recommended by the South Carolina High School League.
Section 4: Should two teams have identical won-lost records, the team, which defeated the other team during region play, shall be declared the region champion. The other team would be the runner-up.
Section 5: Should three schools have identical won-lost records and one of the teams has defeated the other two schools in region play, that team shall be the champion. The runner-up will be determined by Section 4 above.
Section 6: If three or more schools tie for the championship and no school has defeated the other, tri-champs , the team with the highest point differential in the games involving the three teams will be seeded highest. The point differential will have a cap of 21 points per game. Once the three way tie is broken and the top seed is established, the remaining two schools will revert to Section 4.
Example:
Team A beats Team B 35-28
Team B beats Team C 40-0
Team C beats Team A 50-47
Team A has point differentials of +7 and -3 for a total of +4
Team B has point differentials of -7 and +21 (due to the cap) for +14
Team C has point differentials of -21 and +3 for a total of -18
Team B would be the highest seed (+14)
Team C would be the next seed (due to beating Team A head to head)
Section 7: If a tie for the position remains after calculating the point differentials, the SCHSL Proposed Tie Breaking System (page B-49 SCHSL Handbook) will be used with the following amendment: Any defensive or offensive points used to determine seeding will be capped at 21 points per game.
Section 8: In case of a tie and none of the above provisions apply; the Executive Committee shall determine a method of declaring a champion and runner-up.
Section 9: Section 4 through 8 will be used to decide place 1 through the total number of schools in the conference race.
Example:
3 teams tie for 4th place or 3rd place

DOODLES is favoring

Daniel over Crescent
Seneca over West-Oak
Pendleton over Walhalla

"IF" those 3 outcomes occur there will be a 3-way tie for 3rd place.
with the 21 point maximum in mind.
Point Margin
Seneca 12
Crescent 0
Walhalla -12

Seneca would finish 3rd.
Crescent would finish 4th based on head-to-head over Walhalla.
Walhalla would finish 5th.
