\"\"<\/a>MOBILE, AL (WNSP) \u2014And then there were three.<\/p>\n

After the latest round of the playoffs, only three teams from this area remain in the AHSAA playoffs, and one punched its ticket to the final.<\/p>\n

Spanish Fort, Mobile Christian<\/em>\u00a0and St. Luke’s\u00a0<\/em>all lost this past Friday, eliminating Mobile and Baldwin County from contention in their respective classes.<\/p>\n

Vigor\u00a0<\/em>also lost to Demopolis 35-14, but\u00a0St. Paul’s\u00a0<\/em>has a chance at avenging the local loss. If the Saints win, they will move on to the finals in Tuscaloosa.<\/p>\n

UMS-Wright\u00a0<\/em>is in a similar situation. The Bulldogs travel to take on Andalusia this weekend, and the winner of that game earns a spot in the 4A Finals.<\/p>\n

One team from this area is already headed to the state finals matchup: McGill-Toolen.\u00a0<\/em>With its 27-26 win over Central-Phenix City, the Jackets advanced to the 7A Finals in Auburn December 6, when they play Hoover in a rematch of last year’s finals.<\/p>\n
