Jackson area high school football: Who will make playoffs?

With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the biggest question right now among high school football fans is “Will my team make the playoffs?”

Well, hopefully, this can help answer that question as we break down all of the regions in West Tennessee.

Region 6-1A

Huntingdon (5-0) is the region champion and the No. 1 seed.

Five of the other six teams have two region games to play.

If Wayne County (3-1) and Collinwood (3-1) win this week, the two play in Week 11 to decide the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds from this region.

If Collinwood beats Bruceton (2-2) in Week 10, Bruceton’s game against McEwen (2-3) in Week 11 would decide the No. 4 team.

Region 7-1A

Dresden (4-0) needs a win in one of its final two games to clinch the No. 1 seed. The Lions close with the two teams at the bottom of the region (Gleason and Humboldt).

If Lake County (4-1) beats Greenfield (2-2) in Week 10, the Falcons are the No. 2 seed.

South Fulton, Greenfield and West Carroll are tied at 2-2 in region play. South Fulton has West Carroll and Gleason remaining, Greenfield has Lake County and West Carroll remaining and West Carroll has South Fulton and Greenfield remaining.

Region 6-2A

Waverly (3-0) needs one win in its final two games to earn the No. 1 seed. Scotts Hill and Hickman County are the remaining games.

If Riverside (3-1) beats East Hickman (0-3), the Panthers are the No. 2 seed.

Scotts Hill (2-1) would earn the No. 1 seed if the Lions can win out against Waverly and Houston County. A win against one of them guarantees Scotts Hill a playoff spot.

Hickman County (2-2) has secured a spot in the playoffs with Waverly left to play.

Region 7-2A

This is the hardest region to figure out after Union City (3-1) and Peabody (2-2) were upset last week.

If TCA (4-1) wins against Peabody this week, the Lions secure a home playoff game in the first round.

If TCA, Adamsville (3-1) and Union City (3-1) win out, there will be a three-way tie for first place. The first tiebreaker after head-to-head is greatest number of victories. If that doesn’t decide a winner, the number of games against teams with at least a .500 record is the next tiebreaker.

Region 6-3A

The Week 11 matchup between Fairview (4-0) and Cheatham County (3-0) will determine the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds.

Camden (1-2) would earn the No. 3 seed with wins over Sycamore and Stewart County.

Sycamore (1-2) would earn the No. 3 seed with wins over Camden and Harpeth.

The loser of the Camden-Sycamore game in Week 10 has to win in Week 11 to secure the No. 4 spot.

Region 7-3A

Covington (4-0) is the region champion and No. 1 seed.

The South Gibson (3-1) vs. Milan (3-1) matchup in Week 11 will determine the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds.

If Bolivar (1-2) knocks off Westview in Week 10, the Tigers are the No. 4 seed.

If Westview (0-3) knocks off Bolivar and McNairy Central, the Chargers are the No. 4 seed.

Region 6-4A

If Lexington (3-1) beats Chester County (2-2) in Week 11, the Tigers are the No. 1 seed and region champions.

If Lexington loses to Chester County and South Side (3-1) beats North Side, the Hawks are the No. 1 seed.

If Lexington and South Side lose and Hardin County (2-2) wins, there will be a four-way tie for the region championship. This week’s non-region contests — Lexington vs. Milan, South Side vs. Humboldt and Chester County vs. Dyersburg — could decide the seeding of those four teams.

Liberty (1-3) could make the playoffs with a win over Hardin County in Week 11.

Region 7-4A

Haywood (3-0), Crockett County (2-1), Obion County (2-1) and Dyersburg (1-2) are guaranteed spots in the postseason.

Haywood has to beat Obion County in Week 11 to secure the No. 1 seed.

If Obion County beats Haywood and Crockett County beats Dyersburg, there will be a three-way tie for first place. That would mean that with a win over Covington in Week 10, the Cavaliers would be the No. 1 seed.

If Haywood beats Obion County and Dyersburg beats Crockett County, there will be a three-way tie for second place. The first tiebreaker is overall record, and again a win over Covington by the Cavaliers could be a deciding factor.

Division II-A

Jackson Christian (3-2) has secured a spot in the playoffs, as six teams from the eight-team region are in.

Jackson Christian is in a three-way tie for third with Tipton-Rosemark and Fayette Academy, and those are the two remaining games on the Eagles’ schedule.

If Jackson Christian wins both, the Eagles will be the No. 3 seed and host the No. 6 team from the East Region.

If Jackson Christian splits, odds are high that the Eagles will be the No. 4 seed and host the No. 5 team from the East Region.

If Jackson Christian loses both, the Eagles will be the No. 5 team and travel to the No. 4 seed from the East Region.

Davidson Academy (5-0) and Nashville Christian (4-1) need one win each in their final two games to secure the top two seeds.

Division II-AA

USJ (4-0) is in the playoffs as six of the seven teams in the region advance.

If the Bruins beat Lausanne (4-0) in Week 10, they are the region champions and will host the West No. 6, which right now is ECS.

If Lausanne beats USJ, the Bruins must beat Harding Academy (2-2) in Week 11 to secure the No. 2 seed. The No. 2 seed plays the West’s No. 4 seed, which is currently Northpoint Christian.

If USJ loses to Lausanne and Harding Academy, the Bruins will be the No. 3 seed and travel to the Middle’s No. 3, which is currently Franklin Road Academy.
