Is there a region in any class worse than 1A 7? Other than Addison, Meek and Hackleburg who is the fourth playoff worthy team? Vina, Shoals Christian, Cherokee, Phillips and Waterloo are all pretty weak and don't pose much of a threat until they play each other. Just curious, any regions weaker? |

That?s not a terrible region. They just have a bad four seed. The top 3 are all pretty solid.

I was thinking Region 3 is much worse than region 7.
1 decent team in Linden. |

7A Region 4 would be good if it were 6A or 5A.
It's not bad football. A few of the teams would kill lower level competition across state, but it's just not very good for 7A. Every year the 3rd and 4th team go to Birmingham to be sacrificed, and the 1st/2nd seeds get "upset" by whichever Birmingham teams are a little worse than Thompson the last 5-6 years, and Hoover the 5-6 years before that. |

As a Meek alum and supporter we may actually be bad this year. Our Offense is really bad right now. So it?s probably just Hackleburg and Addison at the top, if Phillips gives us a game this upcoming Friday it may turn into a question of whether we?re 3rd or 4th. |

I think there is a clear gap between Meek and the other two, but Meek is awful like others. Or at least that is what I think at this point. I tend to agree that if Phillips pushes you, then I will have to rethink my position.

I don't even think they'd do well in 6A. Just this season Hartselle has smoked Austin. Muscle Shoals waxed Florence. Albertville has lost to Arab and Boaz. Even if they could make a 6A playoff spot i cant see these teams, even a Bob Jones or James Clemens, hanging with a Clay or Parker. I don't know what it is but the bigger schools in the far north just haven't done well in quite some time with an exception here and there. |
