Alexander Hoping to Clinch Playoff Berth

The high school baseball season is down to its final week, and somehow Region 5-AAAA remains a mystery. Not one of the of the 14 teams in the region has officially clinched a playoff spot.

However, that could change today for Alexander. At 8-3 in region play, the Cougars are tied with Kell and South Paulding for second place in the region; at 9-2, Pope is a game up on all three teams.

An Alexander win Tuesday over Hiram, combined with a loss by fifth-place North Paulding, would officially put the Cougars in the playoffs.

However, if Alexander loses, the Cougars could drop as low as fifth in the standings, which isn't a great place to be when only the top four teams make the playoffs.

The first pitch from Alexander is at 5:55 p.m.

Here's the high school sports schedule for Tuesday:
