What a weekend of football it has been with Chelsea, Pelham and Vincent claiming region titles and other county teams making the playoffs.

I went 10-1 with my predictions and would have been 11-1 except I forgot to include my prediction last week that Montevallo would beat B.B. Comer 35-7. They won 42-16.

And yes, I called the Briarwood Chelsea game correctly down to the 7-point margin of victory. Palmer was healthy and he ran and ran.

As it stands, I am now 87-30, for an improvement to 74 percent.

We have a couple of cross-county rivalry games, including Vincent at Montevallo and Chelsea at Shelby County.

We also have a couple of AISA schools hosting first round state playoff games including Wilcox Academy at Kingwood Christian School and East Memorial Christian Academy at Shelby Academy.

But the Game of the Week has to be Chelsea at Shelby County.

– Chelsea (8-1, 7-0) is coming off a huge road win over Briarwood and will next visit non-region, 5A Shelby County. Shelby County (6-3, 5-2) just defeated Region 3 foe Wilcox Central 50-18.

Game of the Week Prediction: Chelsea 35, Shelby County 21.

– 5A Briarwood Christian School (7-2, 6-1) is coming off a shocking 14-7 home loss to Chelsea for the Region 5 title and will next visit 6A Jackson-Olin, which lost to Hueytown 21-12.
