In only 24 hours the world has been turned upside down in Class 6A, Region 4

With the announcement that Wetumpka will be forced to forfeit all five victories for use of an ineligible player, the race for the playoffs took a different turn this week. Jeff Davis benefited from the announcement and now takes the fourth spot in the region trailing Prattville, G.W. Carver and Benjamin Russell as the playoff teams.

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.
