Basically 1 of the top 5 teams in the state will be out in the 1st round, and a team with a losing, or .500 record, will most likely make the 4A Lower State Semi-finals.

Note: For some unknown reason, the Europsport Scoreboard has JL Mann listed in region 1-AAAA. http://www.eurosportscoreboard.com/page_conference.php?id=407

Dorman, Mauldin, Riverside, JL Mann, TL Hanna, or Wren is a few months away from having a completely unfair first round playoff exit; while an unranked, average team will coast into the Lower State semifinals.


Of these, only Mauldin (2) and Riverside (3) are in the top 5 in the preseason rankings. I would expect both to win their first round games barring massive injuries or sickness. But with Dorman at #7 and JL Mann at #9, Region 2-AAAA has four pre-season top 10 teams and looks like the state's strongest region. That should really make it tough for the top two seeds from Region 1-AAAA. TL Hanna (10)is the only team from Region 1 in the preseason top 15 rankings.

Anyone know why the Eurosport Scoreboard has JL Mann listed in Region 1-AAAA? http://www.eurosportscoreboard.com/page_conference.php?id=407
