The final regular season week of prep baseball is upon us in Northwest Georgia and a lot is on the line, especially in Regions 7-AAAA and 6-AAA. Here’s a closer look at what’s at stake:

› Region 7-AAAA

Heritage (10-2 in league play) can clinch the regular season championship and the region’s postseason No. 1 seed with a win Monday at second-place Northwest Whitfield (8-4) as the two top teams begin a three-game set. The Bruins would have to sweep the series, which continues Tuesday at Heritage and Wednesday at Northwest, to earn the title.

That might also be the only way the Bruins can host a first-round playoff series. Cedartown (7-4) swept Northwest and has four games left with the region’s bottom two teams, one against Southeast Whitfield and three vs. Sonoraville.

Sweeps by Northwest and Cedartown would give the Bulldogs the region title, but Heritage holds the tiebreak on Cedartown thanks to a regular season sweep.
