I’ve got Fairfield coming out of the bottom half. Top half is tough. I give the edge to Clinton over Batesburg. I’ll take Fairfield over Clinton.

With that said, I think 5-6 teams have a legit shot at winning it.

Clinton vs. Fairfield

[Belvedere]

That's a good, tough cluster of quality teams. I can see any of Clinton, Strom Thurmond, Batesburg-Leesville, Fairfield Central, Pageland Central, or Saluda emerging.

FWIW, in Batesburg's 8-7 win this past week, Thurmond was up 7-0 w/ 4 min left, and ran a fake punt from their own 15 in an attempt to try to extend possession and score again. Had they won 7-0, they would've been region tri-champs with B-L and Saluda, but would've still been the 3 seed on points scored/margin tiebreakers, so they played for the higher seed/home game. That's not a normal 3 seed.

All that to say... Fairfield Central over Strom Thurmond in the Upper State Final.

I like Strom Thurmond over Fairfield Central in the Upperstate Finals.

What are ya'lls thought on the lower state?

I truly believe that it is wide open.
I think that any of the following could win it: Barnwell, Hampton Cty, Philip Simmons, Timberland, Manning, Woodland.
If I had to choose one team to win it, I would say Timberland. They are very big and physical especially on the line.

I just don't see ST beating Chester, Clinton, BL, and FC /Saluda in 4 consecutive games.

I see it as the winner of Clinton/BL vs the winner of FC/Saluda for the upperstate. I'd give the edge to BL right now.

I feel like Barnwell is the heavy favorite in the lower state and I have Manning as my sleeper there.

[ballman864]

Yeah Barnwell won't have a game that is closer than 17 points until state championship

Ok so hear me out Clinton and Chester Rd 2 is going to be a slobberknocker if that happens or you could flip it and take Clinton and Strom Thurmond with the same results as a donnie brook the only thing that has that in Clinton's favor is that it will be at Clinton. If Clinton gets by either of those 2 teams then they have to be ready for a Batesburg Leesville team that is heating up at the right time of the year. Clinton has the hardest road to the Upperstate championship in my honest opinion Fairfield will have to get by probably saluda with a possibility of Pageland Central beating Saluda in a close game.

Now I have said all of that and of course all of you guys that know 2A football know and don't have to be told all of that but what would it look like if lets say Chester beats ST and then beats Clinton and then moves to the upperstate title game and faces Saluda for a chance to go onto Orangeburg

I honestly see it as Clinton vs Fairfield Central but its something to talk about

Chester vs Saluda would be a rematch from earlier this year when Saluda beat Chester 16-12 in week 3. Both teams were missing their starting QB due to injury in that game.

[TIM]

ST v Saluda for the upstate, Rebels win.
