Congratulations to Eli Hudgins of Powdersville on winning the ESPN Upstate Player of the Week for Week 9. To submit candidates for player of the week, tweet me @TheColeBryson.
I went 14-5 last week and now sit at 105-31 on the season. Here are my picks for this week.
Dorman at Spartanburg:
Every year this game means alot, but this year it means a little more as the region championship is on the line. If Dorman wins and leads by 5 or more at the end of the 3rd, the Cavaliers win the region championship. If Dorman wins and leads by 5 or less at the end of the 3rd, Byrnes wins the region. If Spartanburg wins this game, the Vikings win the region. Mark Hodge & the Spartanburg Vikings come into this game with confidence after earning a huge road win at Byrnes just weeks ago. Dorman comes in after a blow out win against Wade Hampton, but to me, the Vikings are the more confident team coming into this one. If the Vikings can subdue Demarius Foster for the Cavaliers, I think the passing attack of Raheim Jeter will be too much for this Cavalier defense. I like Spartanburg to win this one on Friday and claim the region title.
