Area play is under way in the Elmore County area, with teams vying for playoff positioning.
Stanhope Elmore and Wetumpka each posted undefeated weeks last week, with the former beating Benjamin Russell in two area contests. Holtville and Elmore County split their area series with the Bulldogs taking the tiebreaker, and Edgewood Academy picked up a pair of dominant wins.
