Dothan Eagle Prep football notebook: Region play begins this week in AHSAA

Per Dothan Eagle

The playoff chase commences this week for AHSAA football teams in the Dothan Eagle coverage area.

That's because region play begins for 27 of the 29 local teams in the Alabama High School Athletic Association. The other two teams have the week off.

Among the top games are Enterprise visiting 10th-ranked Auburn in a Class 7A, Region 2 game, Dothan hosting Eufaula in Class 6A, Region 2, Class 3A No. 6 Providence Christian traveling to Geneva in a 3A, 2 game and Ariton and Geneva County meeting in Hartford in 2A, 2 action.

All four local Alabama Independent Schools Association (AISA) teams, meanwhile, have non-region games this week as does one of the two Georgia coverage teams (Early County).

Off week: Carroll and Ashford both drew a week off. Both are part of a seven-team region where each week one team has a bye from region play because of the odd number of teams. Neither Carroll nor Ashford filled the date with a non-region contest.
