Fall breaks are over, and there are two weeks remaining in the 2025 regular season.

If there is one region to watch over the next two weeks, it is Region 7-4A. South Gibson moved to the top of the region standings with a 4-1 record.

But there five teams one game behind them at 3-2. Crockett County dropped down the rankings after losing to South Gibson, Dyer County re-entered the rankings after beating previously unbeaten USJ, Lexington is still ranked and North Side dropped out to make room for Dyer County.
