The current Three Rivers high school football conference has only 4 of 10 teams with overall winning records and appears to be a 3 team race for the top spot, just after the halfway point of the season. South Columbus is 6-0 overall and 4-0 in conference, East Bladen and Whiteville are 5-1 overall and 3-1 in conference play. St. Pauls is also 3-1 in in conference play but 3-3 overall.
South Columbus defeated East Bladen earlier in the season by a single point on a missed point after, East Bladen handed Whiteville their only loss of the season. The regular season championship likely determined when the Whiteville Wolfpack plays the Stallions of South Columbus. Should Whiteville win, and East Bladen win the final 4 regular season games, could end in 3 way tie. Should South Columbus defeat Whiteville, the Russell Dove coached Stallions would win it all….Just playing a ‘what if’ scenario.
