IN CONTENTION

Games remaining: Lamar County, at Northeast

Bleckley County 1-7, 0-3

Games remaining: Northeast, at Putnam County

Northeast 0-8, 0-3

Games remaining: at Bleckley County, Monticello

Easiest remaining schedule: Northeast (Two wins over teams that are a combined 2-14 put the Raiders in the playoffs).

Toughest remaining schedule: Monticello (Home game against region co-leader followed by a potential win-or-go-home contest).

Scouting report: Should they win this weekend, Macon County and Lamar County will play for the region title Nov. 6 in Barnesville. Putnam County can share the region title with wins in its final two games and a Macon County win over Lamar County.

Putnam County clinches a playoff spot with a win in one of its final two games or a loss by both Bleckley County and Northeast.

Monticello clinches a playoff spot with a win over Northeast, so long as Bleckley County doesn't go 2-0 and Putnam County doesn't go 0-2. In that case, a three-way tiebreaker for two spots is triggered.

Northeast clinches a playoff spot with two wins, so long as Monticello doesn't go 1-1 and Putnam County doesn't go 0-2. In that case, a three-way tiebreaker for two spots is triggered.

Bleckley County needs two wins and a Monticello loss in order to make the playoffs.
