Looking at team records, it would indicates that Region 6 is very likely to have 2 teams at state. In Region 5, expect Houston County to win and the winner of East Robertson/Richland. Houston County is clearly the more challenging of the 3. Perry played Houston County first game of the season at home and lost a close game. Hard to tell much about first games relative to improvement. Didn't see any standout players for Houston County in that game.
But as everyone knows, at tournament time there will be upsets and improbable teams at the 'Boro based on season records. Perry last year is a good example with 2 huge upsets at the right time to get there.
