Lakewood got a win this past week over Marlboro County to get to 2-1 in region play. This sets the stage for some interesting play from here out.

If they lose, a win by Lakewood in the finale gives them 2nd place in the region.
Lower Richland got a region win over Swansea but honestly, the Tigers are not a match for anyone in this region. This week, the Diamond Hornets take on an Orangeburg team that is struggling but is still dangerous. The loser of this game is probably out of the playoffs.
Orangeburg-Wilkinson lost this past week to Gilbert and it wasn’t even close. Their offense was not bad, rushing for 160 yards; they just couldn’t score. This week, they take on Lower Richland and need to tighten up their ground defense, which gave up 238 yards to Gilbert. Loser will probably be out of the playoffs.
Swansea lost to Lower Richland this past week and it wasn’t pretty. This team is terrible on both sides of the football. This week, the Tigers face Brookland-Cayce and it will be more of the same against the tough Bearcat running game.
