We have teams securing their playoff spot with 6 wins, we have some teams becoming playoff eligible but all of those teams are still in pursuit of a conference crown.

Knoxville looks impressive, A-Town gets the forfeit win but both now sit at 6-0. Mercer County continues to look good.
Lena-Winslow & Du-Pec are set to square off in the game we've been waiting for, and who has the edge in Fulton vs. Forreston?
