The Playoffs are just around the corner! The regular season ends next week. Here are a few tidbits from this week's action.

  *  Hewitt-Trussville completed the first 10-0 regular season in school history. Carroll (9-0) will be shooting for their first 10-0 season since 1930 when they take on Bayside Academy to end the regular season. Rogers (9-0) will try for the first 10-0 regular season next week against Hamilton. LaFayette (9-0) can also accomplish the first perfect 10-0 regular season next week against Notasulga.
