In the muddled and dangerous world of Region 2-6A, nothing is safe. Playoff hopes can be dashed by Week 3 of the region schedule, and most games count double.

Five teams are tightly clustered behind region frontrunner Madison Central, all fighting for four playoff berths. As the season progresses and they beat up on each other, head-to-head tiebreakers become vital in deciding those spots. That makes Friday night’s matchup between Warren Central (1-4, 0-1 Region 2-6A) and Greenville-Weston (3-2, 1-0) a must-win for both teams.
