The Jefferson Davis Volunteers may not have the best team in Class 6A, Region 4 this season.

But they might be as hot as anyone in the River Region.

The Vols go for their fifth-straight victory as well as a playoff bid on Thursday in a key matchup against Wetumpka. JD (4-3, 3-2) has knocked off three regional opponents in the last four weeks. They can make it five and six overall on Thursday

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.
