West Laurens (3-2/2-0) at Baldwin (2-0/2-0)

          Ah, a quality region showdown, between one team that’s on a major roll and one that still hasn’t played a playoff-caliber team yet. The Braves have put up points, just the kind of challenge West Laurens likes.

TSR pick: West Laurens by 7

 

Class 3A

No. 4 Peach County (4-1/3-0) at No. 2 Crisp County (5-0/2-0)

          The Trojans far from home for a region game against a higher-ranked team? Goodness, that sure doesn’t happen often.

Dublin (4-1/3-0) at Wilcox County (5-1/4-0)

          The Irish have shown they’re way past the perceived rebuilding stage. Both teams’ losses now look like major stunners. Both can score and defend, so however many people can get through the gates should be entertained.

TSR pick: Dublin by 11
