In a battle many think will produce the state champion, Sweet Water (13-0) defeated Maplesville (12-1) 46-36. Sweet Water running back Anthony Landrum had a big game and when Maplesville threw two interceptions in the second half they pretty much lost any chance for the upset. The Bulldogs will represent the South Alabama Region.

Talladega County Central (14-0) wants to have a say in the outcome as they defeated Sulligent (12-2) 13-7. Talladega County Central will represent the North Alabama Region with a fast defense that is possibly the best Sweet Water has faced.

Central Tuscaloosa (14-0) hosted Thomasville (11-3) and had revenge on their mind. Little did anyone know this game would come down to the same call that decided the game last year in the first round. Derrick Cade, Demario Pippen, and Jeremy Williams all had big games.

Jonathan Edwards had an interception. Roya Campbell scored for Thomasville. With the Tigers up by a touchdown the Falcons scored late and instead of going for one point and the tie, they elected to go for two.

Coach Melvin Pete wanted to show his team the confidence he had in his undefeated Falcons. When the players wanted to go for the two-point conversion he acquiesced and they were successful and won the game 28-27. Central Tuscaloosa will represent the South Alabama Region.

Brooks (13-1) and Deshler (12-2) met earlier this year. That game went Deshler’s way 41-26. This game was closer, but would have the same result. Deshler advances off of a 21-14 victory to represent the North Alabama Region.
