The last playoff spots in Class 6A Region 1 will be determined in the final week of the regular season this weekend as Spanish Fort is set to hit the road and face St. Paul’s. The winner will earn the second seed and the right to host a first-round playoff game.

McGill-Toolen will visit Bay Minette to battle Baldwin County where the visiting Yellow Jackets will be one of three teams fighting for the fourth and final postseason spot with a 4-3 mark in the group. Theodore and Gulf Shores both enter Week 11 with 3-4 records in region play. If all three teams win, the tiebreaker will be determined by non-region wins where Theodore owns the lead.

The Toros will enter their last regular season game with a 5-2 record in region play against the Saints who will come in 6-1. Spanish Fort won last year’s meeting 35-6 to tie the all-time series at 8-8.

St. Paul’s has allowed the fewest points among Class 6A teams with 73 over 9 games for an average of 8.1 points per game. That mark ranked No. 12 across the state entering the final week of the regular season. Baldwin County has been the only team to score more than 20 points against the Saints when the Tigers fell 24-21 in Week 2.

Spanish Fort had the 10th-ranked defense in 6A having allowed 135 points over 9 games for an average of 15 points per game. Offensively, the Toros checked in as the 20th-ranked unit in 6A with 270 points for an average of 30 points per game.
