With your assement it looks like you have Gaffney finishing 3rd in the region if i am looking at it right Mr. Pickren. IF that is the case we will have the home game and then be road warriors which i am a little concerned about with a young QB

A couple questions.....Your suggesting Mauldin makes it in over Hillcrest and B. Springs?? Where is Blythewood and a spring Valley?? I think Irmo could be the two seed or possibly win their region after that big win over Spring Valley. Where is Northwestern?? I’m pretty sure they will win their region after play the best schedule in the state.

Assuming the NW-Sumter game had not been cancelled and assuming Sumter would have won, NW's non-region opponent's record (South Pointe, Byrnes, Dorman, Ridge View, Sumter, Dutch Fork) was 26-3 before last friday night's games. Very tough.

When taken top-to-bottom, Region 3 is beyond weak. It looks like Region 3 is Rock Hill's for that taking. After that, MAYBE NW can pull off a 2nd place????

Assuming Rock Hill wins out and takes the region, I would not be surprised if the entire region lost out in the opening round of the playoffs. MAYBE Rock Hill pulls out a victory in the first round, but I don't see them winning beyond that.

My humble opinion is that the lower state championship runs through Dutch Fork with the Fort Dorchester/Berkeley winner laying claim to being second best in the lower state.

My humble opinion is that the upper state championship runs through Region 2. Right now, Dorman has the upper hand, but Spartanburg, Gaffney, and Byrnes are all highly capable. I don't think any other region's champion can run that gauntlet into the state championship game this year.

My Trojans are on the outside looking in this year so, good luck to all the teams! May none of the kids get hurt the rest of the year and may the officials NOT be a determining factor in any game. It is just high school football and very few of the kids will actually play beyond the final game of their high school career. May all of us fans remember these are just kids.

my 2 cents worth is all

TL Hanna host Spartanburg <---Yeah, it really doesn't matter who goes to Anderson, but Greenwood did it last year?
Dorman host Irmo <---Again, Dorman, Gaffney and Byrnes, take your pick. Either way, I'm not picking Irmo this time.
Rock Hill host Gaffney <---This might be the best spot for the Region 2 team that doesn't win the Region.
Sumter host Byrnes <---Long Trip, but Rebels travel well, so do the Indians, should they land here.

Semis = Home field pre determined
Hanna host Dorman <---Dorman vs Hanna would be a tough match up.
Byrnes host Gaffney <---REMATCH, at Nixon Field. Cue up the old "beating a good team twice" coach speak.

Dave, based on the bracket, I think this is your breakdown {note two games where I question the HOST team}

1st Round
Hanna host Mauldin Region 1 #1 vs Region 2 #5
Nation Ford host Spartanburg Region 3 #2 vs Region 2 #4
Dorman host Easley Region 2 #1 vs Region 1 #4
Clover host Irmo Region 3 #3 vs Region 4 #2 {I think you have this one backward for the host}

Rock Hill host Woodmont Region 3 #1 vs Region 1 #5
Gaffney host Greenwood Region 2 #3 vs Region 1 #2 {I think you have this one backward for the host}
Sumter host Hillcrest AT LARGE Region 4 #1 vs AT LARGE
Byrnes host Westside Region 2 #2 vs Region 1 #3

Region 1
Hanna
Greenwood
Westside
Easley
Woodmont

Region 2
Dorman
Byrnes
Gaffney
Spartanburg
Mauldin
Hillcrest

Region 3
Rock Hill
Nation Ford
Clover

Region 4
Sumter
Irmo


I'll take a stab at it and see what I come up with, but other than Region 2 which I think is a three team race for 1, 2, 3, I'm thinking it would be pretty much the same as you have it here.

Dorman @ Gaffney this week....Yuge... >>GO TRIBE>>>>....
