While many of the area’s top teams have first-round byes, there are still plenty of good matchups as postseason kicks off. Here are six of them to keep an eye on Friday night: Games to Watch Spartanburg (2-8) at River Bluff (8-2): First meeting between the two teams.

QB Davis Taylor needs 63 passing yards for 1,000 on the season. Chance Bryant has returned three interceptions for touchdowns.
