BC (3-6) vs. Burke Co. (5-4)

Senior night will be anti-climatic for the 5th straight year as both teams enter this Saturday evening contest with nothing on the line. It also marks the 5th straight year that the Cadets will not make a postseason appearance. The Cadets experienced one of the worst losses in school history at Olvey Field last week. It will be tough to rebound against Burke Co., who despite being eliminated from playoff contention is the much superior team. Burke lost to Liberty by only a touchdown and defeated Richmond Hill last week 49-0. In the past Burke has run multiple offenses relying on the run a majority of the time. The Bears defense has put up 4 shutouts this year and held BC to 3 points in last years Homecoming game. As little as a win would do for the Cadets in the standings, the momentum gained from beating a solid opponent such as Burke could do nothing but help going into next year. One of the best cheerleading classes in recent memory will also be experiencing their senior night and will hopefully show up. Who would have thought that BC would get to the point of chanting "basketball!" at football games instead of "football!" at basketball games. Either way its time for the roundball on Seawright. Thanks to the Seniors for their effort to getting back to where we should be.
Burke Co. 30 - Benedictine 13

*BC's region champion cross country team will run at the state meet this week and enters ranked. The Cadets look to put an exclamation point on one of the best seasons in program history.

Finale week storylines:

- If Beach beats Jenkins on Friday, Beach will be the 4th seed from region 3-AAAAA with a 4-6 record and eliminate Groves from playoff contention. If Jenkins wins, Groves goes as the 4th seed.

- Bradwell faces Camden for the 3-AAAAA championship. If Bradwell loses Windsor Forest will earn the 2 seed and host a 1st round State Playoff game.

-Brunswick travels to Effingham for a huge region 3-AAAA contest. If Effingham wins and Ware loses to Statesboro, Effingham gains the 2 seed and Brunswick the 4. If Brunswick wins they would gain the 3 seed and Effingham would be eliminated from playoff contention with Glynn takeing their place.

- In region 1-AAAAA its a joke. Tift is the only team that has locked up a playoff spot. If Tift beats Colquitt they win the region. If Tift loses and Coffee wins, Coffee is the region champion. No matter what, whoever wins the Coffee/Houston Co. game is in. If Coffee loses and Tift wins, Coffee is eliminated from the playoffs. The winner of the Warner Robins/Lowndes game is in. If Lowndes loses and Houston wins, Lowndes is still in. If Lowndes loses and Coffee wins, Lowndes is eliminated. If Warner Robins loses they are still in unless Tift loses to Colquitt. The only way Colquitt gets in is with a win over Tift and a Warner Robins loss. The craziest thing is that the only team already eliminated is the Valdosta Wildcats.

- Cedar Shoals plays Clarke Central for a birth in the State Playoffs. Cedar Shoals is 8-1 and #1 in their sub-region with their only loss coming at the hands of Clarke Central. Clarke Central is 5-4 and the #4 seed in their sub-region.

-3rd ranked Norcross plays at #1 North Gwinett for the region 7-AAAAA championship.

- The loser of the South Efiingham/Liberty Co. game will most likely win a trip to LaGrange for the 1st round of the State Playoffs. But you never know, It was 10 years ago that a region 3 team went up to LaGrange to face a top-ranked Granger squad.
