It was a wild one in 5A-Region 1 to begin with and it got even wilder the last day before the final RPI. Ed White edged Terry Parker in the last seconds of a pivotal 5A matchup two weeks ago, but Parker was given the win due to Ed White having an ineligible player. For Terry Parker, they moved up to #7 and will face Raines in a rematch. Clay (7-3) hoped to leap Ed White after their forfeit, but their win over Orange Park (3-7) decreased their opponents win percentage. As for the top, Baker County beat Baldwin is 6-3 and helped their OWP with the victory. Bishop Kenny’s victory over Episcopal (6-4) solidified their spot in the playoffs, but the Ed White forfeit moved them to #6. Raines took over the #1 spot after their impressive dominating defeat of Columbia. But because their game versus Vero Beach was cancelled they were left to see their fate. They are now #2 in the region.
