With 2 weeks left in the 2022 season we look at possible playoff scenarios.
Region 7-5A
This all hinges on the Cass at Calhoun game this Friday. The Yellow Jackets are a 27 point favorite but as we have seen in ’22 anything can happen.
If Calhoun beats Cass:
- Calhoun
- Winner of Cartersville/Dalton
- Loser of Cartersville/Dalton
- Cass
If Cass beats Calhoun and Cartersville beats Dalton
- Cartersville
- Cass
- Calhoun
- Dalton
If Cass beats Calhoun and Dalton beats Cartersville
Based on my calculations….
If Cass Wins by 6+
- Dalton
- Cartersville
- Cass
- Calhoun
If Cass wins by 6 or less
- Dalton
- Calhoun
- Cartersville
- Cass
Region 7-4A
Region 7-4A is a little complicated after the top spot.
If Cedartown wins 1 of their remaining 2 games (SE Whitfield and NW Whitfield) they are the Champs for the 3rd consecutive year.
Super confusing after that. We could still end in a 4-way tie for the final 3 spots.
We will take one week at a time, starting with this Friday
Sonoraville at Heritage: If Heritage wins, they have a grip on the #2 spot heading into a final week showdown with Central.
If Sonoraville wins: With only SE Whitfield remaining the Phoenix would be the odds-on favorite to host a playoff game round 1.
NW Whitfield at Central: the simple formula is whoever loses this matchup probably misses the post-season.
How the computer see’s it playing out:
- Cedartown
- Heritage
- Sonoraville
- Central
