Regions 2 and 4 still have work to do before deciding the No. 1 seeds and league champions, and the results of this week’s games will complete the pecking order for the state playoffs.

Early County (R1), No. 9 Metter (R3), Johnson County (R5), Macon County (R6), No. 1 Manchester (R7) and No. 6 Lincoln County (R8) have earned the No. 1 seeds.

Irwin County forced a two-way 4-1 tie at the top of the Region 2 standings after moving past then-No. 2 Brooks County 17-14 last week. Brooks County recovered a fumble with 10 minutes left in the game, trailing 17-14, but could not find an answer, turning the ball over on downs with five minutes remaining.

Irwin climbed from No. 5 to No. 3 in this week’s poll and is tied with Brooks (4-1), ahead of No. 5 Clinch (3-1) and Charlton County (2-2). Clinch hosts Charlton Friday.

Telfair County leads the Region 4 standings (5-0) but will play Wilcox County (4-1) Friday, If Wilcox wins, there will be a tie-breaker scenario to determine the region champion. Hawkinsville (4-2) has completed its schedule, but will have to see the results from Friday’s Wheeler County (3-2)-Treutlen (2-3) game. Wheeler beat Hawkinsville 18-12 on Sept. 30 and could force a head-to-head tie-breaker scenario if it beats Treutlen to earn the No. 3 seed.

Bowdon earned the No. 2 seed in Region 7 after defeating No. 8 Trion 42-16. Trion led 10-0 early in the first quarter before Bowdon found answers in a 6-yard touchdown run from Connor Daniel. Daniel passed to Kaiden Prothro on a 52-yard touchdown to put the Red Devils ahead 14-10. A 53-yard pass from Daniel to Prothro put Bowdon ahead 21-10 at the half. Bowdon led 42-16 at the end of the third quarter.
