The Battle for Last Place in Region 1 6A

[theroyz71]

Who will finish the regular season in last place for Region 1 6A and earn the priviledge of facing the top seed in Region 2?  The contenders are Bearden, William Blount, and Jefferson County.  All three teams have the same 1-5 region record with Bearden's and Jefferson County's lone win coming against William Blount while the Governors' lone win came against Dobyns-Bennett.  While the DB game was a great win for WB, it may have had a different outcome had Dobyns-Bennett not lost their starting quarterback while leading 21-7.  Maybe not.

 

Looking back, it appears the Bearden and William Blount have both been much more competetive against region opponents than Jefferson County.  The Patriots come into this week on a 3 game losing streak having been blown out by Hardin Valley, Science Hill, and Dobyns-Bennett the past three weeks.  Bearden come in on a 4 game losing streak with a blowout loss to Maryville, and competetive losses to Bradley Central, Dobyns-Bennett,  and Science Hill.  The Govs enter the final regular season week on a 6 game slide with blowout losses Maryville and Science Hill and close losses to Heritage, Bearden, Jefferson County, and Hardin Valley.

 

Jefferson County plays at Bearden while William Blount plays a Bradley Central team that has dropped their last 2 games since their All Region QB went down with a separated shoulder.

Regardless of what happens on Friday all three teams are taking that long trip to Murfreesboro on Nov. 4th.
