Top weekend games: Week 7

No. 2 Early County boys vs. No. 10 Thomasville

When/where: Friday, 6 p.m. at Thomasville

Records: Early County is is 13-2 and 4-0 in Region 1; Thomasville is 8-6 and 3-0

Last meeting: Thomasville won 68-65 on Feb. 12, 2016.

Notes: These region rivals represent the final two undefeated teams in Region 1. The Bulldogs went 3-0 against Early County last season, with all games being close. But it's the Bobcats off to the better start thus far and a convincing win could knock the Bulldogs out of the rankings. But more importantly it will give them first place in the region.

Records: Therrell is 9-6, 3-2 on Region 6; KIPP is 7-4 and 3-1

Notes: The Lady Blue Devils continue to sprinkle in games between their region schedule to challenge themselves, as they're not likely to face much competition in Region 7. Last season they beat Christian Heritage 56-39 in their first ever meeting.

Records: Fitzgerald is 9-1, 1-1 in Region 1; Early County is 10-5, 4-0

Notes: The Lady Purple Hurricane opened the season on a nine-game win streak, but picked up their first loss of the season, 71-57 to Berrien on Tuesday. As a result, Early County is only remaining team without a loss in Region 1 play. Should Early County win, the Fitzgerald could drop from the rankings all together.
