If Dadeville hopes to make the playoffs for the sixth straight season, the push needs to start now.

And this current stretch could be the optimal time to make that possible. The Tigers started with the juggernauts of Class 3A Region 4, facing off against Lee-Scott and Glenwood — both of which post an undefeated region record. But now, the Tigers face off against two of the bottom region foes, which, on paper, should be just enough to get them in.
