Region play resumes after shocking week in AHSAA
SIDELINE VIEW
By Jeremy Sellers SA Columnist

Passing the halfway mark of the 2006 season. We are starting to see who is going to make playoff runs late and who is now. This week, the Rev. James Watkins is the guest prognosticator.

Clarke Co. vs Sumter Co.

The Clarke County Bulldogs took a tough loss last week in a rival matchup with Jackson. Clarke County has a record of 3- 2 with all three wins coming within their region. Sumter County is coming off of a tough loss to Marengo. Predictions: Jeremy- CCHS 38, SCHS 6. Bro. James- CCHS 35, SCHS 0.

Clarke Prep vs Bessemer

The Gators got a big win over Morgan Academy last week and are preparing to take on Bessemer. Clarke Prep would benefit big with this win.

Predictions Jeremy- BA 22, CPS 20. Bro. James- BA 27, CPS 21.

McIntosh vs Coffeeville

McIntosh could still be in the running to grab third or fourth place in 1A Region 1. This is probably a must win game for the Demons. Predictions: Jeremy- MHS 38, CHS 13. Bro. James- MHS 15, CHS 13.

JA vs Warrior

The Jackson Academy Eagles got their first win of the season last week over Marion Schools in Marion. Jackson Academy enters non-region play at 1-5. Warrior Academy has struggled just like the Eagles this season.

Predictions: Jeremy- WA 21, JA 14. Bro. James- JA 7, WA 6.

Leroy vs Flomaton

Leroy took a tough loss from the Sweet Water Bulldogs. Sweet Water powered over Leroy last week in a major upset in the AHSAA football standings. Leroy re-enters region play this week as they travel south to face the Hurricanes of Flomaton. Predictions: Jeremy- LHS 62, FHS 7. Bro. James- LHS 56, FHS 0.

Millry vs J.F. Shields

Millry re-enters region play looking for a big win over J.F. Shields. The Wildcats were overmatched last Thursday night when they hosted rival

Southern Choctaw. Millry is going to have to be on top of their game to win this one.

Predictions Jeremy- JFS 18, MHS 14. Bro. James- JFS 20, MHS 6.

Wash Co. vs Calhoun

Washington County got a big win last week as they traveled down County Road 1 to defeat

the Pirates of Fruitdale 67-21. Calhoun needs a big region win in order to stay within the Class 3A Region 1 race, but that should not happen. Predictions Jeremy- WCHS 44, CHS 6. Bro. James- WCHS 2, CHS 0.

Jackson vs Escambia The Jackson Aggies got a big 2006 homecoming win last week as John David Mitchell kicked a game winning field goal with 18 seconds left on the clock and Jackson defeated Clarke County 23-20. Escambia is living off of their early season upset of W.S. Neal.

Predictions: Jeremy- JHS 35, ECHS 21. Bro. James- JHS 24, ECHS 14.

So. Choctaw vs Keith

The Southern Choctaw Indians will try to move to 3-1 in 2A Region 1 when they travel over to Dallas County to face the Keith Bears. Keith is winless within the region so far, but anything could happen as the 2006 season begins on the home stretch. Predictions Jeremy- SCHS 44, KHS 21. Bro. James- SCHS 30, KHS 18.

Thomasville vs Miller

This is the matchup everyone has been awaiting, Class 4A no. 1 vs no. 2. Thomasville and T.R. Miller should come down to the wire in the game that has a lot of playoff implications.

Predictions: Jeremy- TRMHS 22, THS 14. Bro. James- THS 21, TRMHS 18.

Alabama vs Duke

The Crimsion Tide suffered a tough loss to the Florida Gators last week after leading for the first 30 minutes. Alabama should have a break this week playing the Duke Blue Devils. Predictions: Jeremy- UA 48, DU 13. Bro. James- UA 36, DU 6.

Auburn vs Arkansas

The Auburn Tigers struggled last week against the South Carolina Gamecocks. They hope to have it easy against the Razorbacks, who defeated Alabama two weeks ago 24- 23. Predictions: Jeremy- AU 28, UA 13. Bro. James- AU 31, UA 10.

I would like to thank the Rev. James Watkins of First Baptist of Leroy for sharing his predictions this week. So far, my record is 42-8 while my guests are 36-14.
