Three weeks in and one region game complete...How do you see the region shaping up?

I think that the Lewis Co. posters will disagree. We went there and won last year but it was a tough game, and LC seems to be improved. Scotts Hill has played much better for the last six quarters than the previous six, but it's early in the season...a bad quarter or two could be a disaster against Waverly, Lewis Co., or Riverside for that matter. Loretto has some size, but hasn't played well yet... they could still have a say before the matter of region standings is settled if someone overlooks them.

Loretto has some size and some talent. Very physical on the line. Lack in coaching and still play dirty. Won't be a contender from what we saw. Lewis is def gonna be tough.

Lewis Co. comes to Scotts Hill this week undefeated and looking good on the field. Two teams looking to challenge Waverly for the region 5 title, and this game goes a long way toward telling who has a shot. Should be a hard nosed game with both teams running the ball well right now.

I know the game of the week is LC- SH but surprised no one is talking about the HC- Waverly game. Is it because everyone thinks Waverly will run away with it? I do think Waverly will win but they better be focused and ready to play. HC has some play makers on offense. Their defense has been their problem.

[tradertwo]

I think that Waverly wins pretty easily...Hickman Co. isn't a cupcake by any means, but if Waverly is as good as advertised the margin should be 3 scores...maybe more.

  Also wondering about the Loretto/Riverside game...Riverside should take care of business according to previous results, but everyone keeps talking about the Mustang's size and athleticism. Can they put a good game together and play up to what everyone thinks their potential is?

Great win for Scotts Hill last night and I take it Waverly stayed focused against HC. Going to be a huge game for region championship between these two.

Scotts Hill will have to turn up the burners before the Waverly game...got a nice win last night, but played flat...can't do that against the Tigers.

Looks like the standings for the region are all but decided except 1'st and 2'nd...could change but not likely. If Scotts Hill puts the ball on the ground like they did against Lewis Co., it won't be close. The Lions' defensive stats were great, but they didn't have the usual fire...the offense had good yardage, but turned the ball over way too much. Waverly is rolling right now, but maybe a long bus ride, a couple of weeks to "fix" the Lion miscues, a week off before the game to heal, and the fact that they'll be looking for a little payback, can work in our favor.

 

  If everything plays out and Lewis Co./Riverside finish 3 and 4, it's shaping up for Adamsville and McKenzie to host them in the playoffs...rest of their region is still up in the air, with Trinity and Jackson Christian having the inside track.

 

  All subjective, (and probably way too early) but I'd like to hear how everyone thinks all this will play out.

If Waverly plays their game they will win this region. Starting safety been out last two games. He will be back to knock someone's screws loose. Stud WR will be back too.

I think you could be right. Looks like the same four teams in region 5 and the same four teams in region 6 will make the playoffs. I'd feel safe to say that Waverly, Scotts Hill, Adamsville and McKenzie get first round home games. Barring any upsets like last year that's setting up some huge 2nd round matchups but that's still 6 weeks away. Hope all teams can stay healthy for the playoffs.
