As we all know, last week was the end of the road for the T.R. Miller Tigers and the W.S. Neal Eagles as far as the 2014 football playoffs go.
In the county, we still have Flomaton playing this week in the quarterfinal round against region foe Washington County and Escambia Academy will play Bessemer Academy Friday in Troy for the state championship.
This morning I pulled out the brackets and decided to do a little research.
In the AHSAA, there are 52 teams still playing. In classes 1A-6A, we have eight teams left in each class for a total of 48 teams. In the new class 7A, there are four teams left. The class 7A playoffs are in the semifinals this week. Winners from this week will be off next week before playing their state championship game on Wed., Dec. 3 in Auburn.
Here is a look at the playoff brackets:
