Region One 5A

[Rebel-Fan-74]

Talk about a wide open Region.... this is how I see it, and I'm sure if I've made an error, someone will surely tell me....

UPDATE: All the "favorites" won to move to 4-1 and now the match ups that will determine this region will be happening. Hillcrest will take on Greenwood and then T L Hanna in the next two weeks and those games are detailed below.

Here are the current leaders at 3-1 and who they have beaten, and who they have left on the schedule:



J L Mann is 2-1 against the other three teams tied and only has games that they should win easily remaining on the schedule so I can easily see them getting to 6-1 in the Region.

Hillcrest is 0-1 with the loss to J L Mann and has T L Hanna and Greenwood remaining, so Hillcrest is the team that will have the biggest part is determining how this turns out!

If Hillcrest loses to both T L Hanna and Greenwood, you would have a three way tie at 6-1 (assuming no other upsets) with TLH, JLM and Greenwood. I don't know who wins the three way tie as each Region has it's own tiebreaker system

A Hillcrest win over T L Hanna and loss to Greenwood, then J L Mann is Region Champ due HEAD TO HEAD over Greenwood.

A Hillcrest win over Greenwood and loss to T L Hanna and T L Hanna is the Region Champ due to HEAD TO HEAD over J L Mann.

If Hillcrest wins both of those games, J L Mann holds the HEAD TO HEAD over Hillcrest.

So Hillcrest is the KEY to the Region, even though I don't see a path for them to be Region Champs!

Think Hanna is the best out of them all. Not all that impressed by either Hillcrest or Greenwood.

Bragging rights to the claim of "Region Champion" is one thing, but state playoffs is another.

Mann is 5A D1. They are set.

Hillcrest/Greenwood/Hanna are all 5A D2.

They are fighting for that first round bye to be on the opposite side of the Upper State bracket away from Northwestern.

Gaffney's performances over the last few weeks, including the loss to Dorman, seems to have taken some of the luster off their shine. Gaffney should easily roll over Wade Hampton, but then they get Spartanburg.

Just my 2 cents........

They might avoid NW, but isn’t DF in D2 and also in the upstate bracket with the way they split that region. Pick your poison

DF is D1

[Deputy]

You are right. For some reason I thought DF was D2. Under that scenario it is Northwesterns to lose. Thought Gaffney would be there with you, but they suddenly can’t score
