One of the state’s closest and most respected rivalries ended earlier this season when Clay County and Lineville played for the final time. The two schools will merge next year to become Central of Clay County.

While they haven’t played as many times, Jeff Davis and Robert E. Lee have a similar rivalry at least when it comes to competitiveness, even if the two teams have had their struggles lately.

Not to the halfway point, the Class 6A, Region 4 race is becoming wild and wacky… just like last year.

The high school football season reaches the fourth week (third week in region play) and already, upsets are making the race for the playoffs in the biggest classification hard to predict. With Jeff Davis winning on Thursday and G.W. Carver and Sidney Lanier both pulling upsets last week, the 2-4 seeds will probably come down to the final week.

Regional races are in full swing and it looks as though several teams from the River Region will be in the thick of those races all season long.

But Friday could be vital for some teams on whether they are about winning the region or just a playoff spot.

For one half, the Stanhope Elmore Mustangs were in prime position to do what they had done the year before to the Prattville Lions.

But their 7-6 halftime lead didn’t last more than a couple of minutes in the third quarter as Prattville rolled to a 34-7 win and avenge the loss to the Mustangs in 2010

After what could be called a debacle, one would expect Robert E. Lee coach Larry Ware to be an unhappy camper this week.

Not so fast, he said, when asked how he took last week’s 32-6 loss to Class 5A Pleasant Grove.
