Last week, Myrtle Beach got a big three points with a win over Railhawks and Gate City got just a big a win over Upward Stars.
The only action this week is Discoveries hosting the Railhawks...

Last week, Tulsa knocked off Dallas 4-1. Levi Coleman had a hat trick.
((HT: Tulsa Athletics))
Dallas City got their three points back with a win over Fort Worth.
((HT: Fort Worth Vaqueros))

((HT: Mad Kemp))
Nashville FC have had to keep in step in a busy week- beating Rocket City 2-0
((HT: Rocket City FC))
Then, NFC lost to Silverbacks Reserves 1-0 to come back to the pack:
"Eventhough, we made the effort to win, we could have taken care of it before we did," Silverbacks head coach Alejandro Pombo told OSG Sports. "But every game is a fight in the Southern Conference because there are so many good teams. I also like the pressure, though, that every game brings. I grew up playing with that kind of pressure. I'm pretty comfortable with it."
Nashville still is ready for the home stretch, but injuries to keeper Stephen Lunney and Anthony Cedano are a concern going forward for the home finale with Knoxville.
"Every game matters right now," Lunney told OSG. "All our games now are like playoff games. The season is on the line every week. Obviously, the loss to Atlanta is disappointing, but it all leads to the post-season."
"We have to create and finish chances when we have them," Nashville head coach Brian Johnson said. "But every match in conference is tough. There are no laughers around here and it's good for the level of players that are here. I do think that players play physically and there are times that the tactics outpace the refs, though."
This week, Silverbacks Reserves (who also beat Rocket City) play Georgia Revs and Chattanooga plays Rocket City.
Sunshine Conference
Miami United and Jacksonville United are at 21 and 20 points. Tampa Marauders and Storm are at 7 points with Cape Coral Hurricanes at 3 points.

NPSL South Region Week 7 Review/Preview
South Atlantic Conference
Upward Stars are trying to distance themselves from the pack- with the other four teams in the table only three points apart.
They're in the back in of a home and home with second place Myrtle Beach. Upward won round one at USC Upstate last week to widen their lead to five points. Upward moves to a road game with Railhawks Under-23's this weekend. The Railhawks are tied with Gate City FC. Gate City had a goalless draw with Carolina Discoveries last weekend and travel there for the back end of their home and home.
They'll look for the offense that they had in their match with the Railhawks two weeks ago- a 4-4-draw...
((HT: Gate City FC their own selves))
Carolina then travels to Myrtle Beach for their second match of the weekend...
South Central Conference
Three distinct groups in the 8 sides here...
OKC FC and Tulsa Athletics have kept spots one and two with the Athletics 2-0 win.

((HT: Tulsa Athletics their own selves))
OKC FC won the back end of the weekend home and home, 5-2, and get the week off.

And, for the record, BCS Clash are at a goal differential of minus-67: 2 goals scored and 69 allowed.
Southeast Conference
Four teams at the top separated by three points. And just when you think someone may break away, the others in the queue strike back.

((HT: Williamson Source))
The Jesters host Rocket City this week and Nashville gets the Georgia Revs.
"We're always disappointed when we don't pick up maximum points at home but it's important to remember that we faced 2 quality teams," goalkeeper Stephen Lunney told OSG Sports after the weekend. "Having said that, no one is more determined than our players to put things right by getting a win on Saturday at home."
Chattanooga FC are in between New Orleans and Nashville at 13 points. After the Nashville match, they had another big three points hosting the Georgia Revs at Finley Stadium winning 3-2.
((HT: The Chattahooligans))

Southeast Conference
Nashville FC is at the top of the table after games against the Georgia Revolution and Silverbacks Reserves.
The Williamson Source has highlights from the second match
OSG Sports caught up with Nashville FC keeper Stephen Lunney:
"It was an amazing weekend. To be through 4 games and sitting top of the table with 10 points is a great position to be in but we know that there is plenty of work still to do. To play 2 games back-to-back and come out of both with wins shows the strength and depth of our squad. We must have used our entire active roster over the course of the weekend.
"Without doubt, the crowd that came out to support us in our inaugural home game was the major talking point of the weekend. To get over 1,800 fans (some of them owners) through the gates for the game was something special and something that I know the players and coaches really appreciated. Hopefully everybody liked what they saw and we can try surpass that figure when we take on Rocket City in Murfreesboro this Saturday."
Rocket City held on 2-1 over Pensacola City FC Friday night.
Here's how that game ended

Southeast Conference
Nashville FC is at the top of the table after games against the Georgia Revolution and Silverbacks Reserves.
The Williamson Source has highlights from the second match
OSG Sports caught up with Nashville FC keeper Stephen Lunney:
"It was an amazing weekend. To be through 4 games and sitting top of the table with 10 points is a great position to be in but we know that there is plenty of work still to do. To play 2 games back-to-back and come out of both with wins shows the strength and depth of our squad. We must have used our entire active roster over the course of the weekend.
"Without doubt, the crowd that came out to support us in our inaugural home game was the major talking point of the weekend. To get over 1,800 fans (some of them owners) through the gates for the game was something special and something that I know the players and coaches really appreciated. Hopefully everybody liked what they saw and we can try surpass that figure when we take on Rocket City in Murfreesboro this Saturday."
Rocket City held on 2-1 over Pensacola City FC Friday night.
Here's how that game ended
