The 2013 football is half-over, and the teams are eyeing their chances of making the region and state playoffs.
Based on stats and records recorded on ga.prepcountry.com, here are where the local teams currently are seeded.

Bradwell Institute — Region 3-AAAAA
As of Tuesday morning, the Tigers (2-1 in region) are tied with Effingham County are far as region wins and losses. However, the Rebels currently hold a more favorable overall record of 4-2 to BI’s 3-3. Richmond Hill and Ware have the same region records (3-0), but looking at overall wins and losses, the current standings place Richmond Hill first, Ware second, Effingham third and Bradwell fourth. Jenkins, Glynn Academy, Groves and Windsor Forest round out the final four schools in the region.
The Tigers, who have won two games in a row, are scheduled to travel to Brunswick on Friday to take on Glynn Academy, and a victory keeps them among the top four teams.
To date, the Tigers average 57 receiving yards, 229.5 rushing yards per game and 73.5 tackles, and have 24 total touchdowns and six interceptions, according to maxpreps.com.

Liberty County —
Region 3A-AAAA
The Panthers have played only one Region 3A-AAAA opponent; however, it was last week’s 24-7 loss to Statesboro that gave the Panther team a 0-1 start in region play.
The Panthers, who are off this week, hold the second-best overall record among the region squads at 6-1, with Statesboro ahead at 7-0.
This one still is too early to call, as Wayne County and South Effingham have not played any region opponents to date. Wayne County and South Effingham go head-to-head Friday in Guyton. The Panthers will face Wayne County on Oct. 25 in Jesup.

First Presbyterian Christian Academy — GISA Region 2-A
There are six private schools in the Georgia Independent School Association Region 2-A class, and FPCA currently is fifth despite its 0-6 overall mark.
The Highlanders play Robert Toombs Academy on Friday in Lyons, and a win could open a chance for a playoff spot. FPCA hosts Crisp Academy, the top team in the region, Oct. 25 and Fullington Academy on Nov. 8. A 2-2 region mark at the end of the season could provide the spark the Highlanders need.

Long County —
Region 2-AA
It’s not looking too good right now for the Blue Tide.
They are sitting at the bottom of the region with a 0-5 mark. The Benedictine Cadets rule the region at 6-0 region mark and 7-0 overall.
Long County plays Toombs County on Friday, but even a Tide win will have the two schools tied for the region bottom.
