I appreciate the discussion from all yall this year on the AP poll topics. It's now playoff time. Looks like some great battles are in store. I hope and pray everyone has safe travels and each team will stay injury free. Regardless of who wins, I'll be at a playoff game each week. I'll also be in Cookeville to support the public schools championship games. 2A is on Thursday this year and 1A is on Saturday. Good luck to everyone.

I'll have I'll have Oak Ridge Head Coach Joe Gaddis on my show Thursday discussing this game if you guys would like to check that out. Here is a direct link to that show if you'd like to return here on Thursday and check it out: Friday Main Event 1st Round Playoff Discussion

Watching some film on Waverly. What defensive alignment are they in here?

General and Salem after watching film of #37

Ahh... the good ol days. When doors were left unlocked, kids played outside, your hunting rifle was in your truck in the school parking lot, only girls wore dresses and make up and communities and high schools cared about each other.

footage of yesterday's pep rally in Waverly. #37 had just walked out on stage when this was taken

As Gbnation said..."What a difference a year can make".

Lol...I do too..but in reality, I don't care if it's a one point win..my motto is: "survive and advance"!!

Yeah like I said before y'all aren't going to be seeing Greenville this year! Go Cyclones

Checkmate ,King me , whatever you want to say CB that's awesome

I’m sure CA administration will be handing out them scholarships to bring in the new players. Y’all will feel at home and probably less stressed. No need to hide what y’all have been doing already anymore! Y’all will be legit next year!

I'll have Eagleville Head Coach Floyd Walker on my show Thursday discussing this game if you guys would like to check that out. Here is a direct link to that show if you'd like to return here on Thursday and check it out: Friday Main Event 1st Round Playoff Discussion

Riverside is having a chili supper before the game in the junior high next to the football stadium............ $6. Eagleville fans are welcome, after the long drive down.

In other news, Bass picks Trump to say something controversial before now and 12/31/18

So Hamm's first set of rankings are out. Lets use this thread to tell him all of his mistakes. Leave the other threads to talking about how Cleveland will beat everybody this year and this one will be specifically where the kids who are on this list really should be. Also, feel free to every five or six comments slip in a "Well if you don't like them then feel free to do your own rankings." and "They are just his opinion." and the always popular, "These aren't official or anything." The rankings can be found HERE

Hard to look at overall records in some cases - for example 5-5 Knox Webb can’t get most area Knoxville schools to play them, so they have to play McCallie & Ensworth & Ashvllle, NC. They lost by 7 to Notre Dame who many think will make the State Championship game. I don’t think teams coming in 4th or 5th in their Region should be in the playoffs, but looking at records alone is sometimes deceiving.

I think this is the year pearl gets past the semifinals

Well we had better get back on subject before CB10 starts a thread titled Old fat man @ Older fat man. Good luck Friday.

Vandyfan threw the doll away after CA last year. He said it didn’t work. he has moved on to witchcraft. With a name like Salem you should be able to help him out,

Huntingdon won't be able to hang with Cornersville this year. No disrespect intended toward them, it's just a fact. Anyone who is being honest with himself knows it. Greenback will be the only legitimate competition the Bulldogs see all year. Unlike the fans, myself included, these boys do not look past anyone. They will be ready, week after week, to destroy every team that lines up in front of them. See you in Cookeville.

That was a good one. Good Luck.

As far as the school itself no it has always been riverside but ppl would put the parsons or Decatur county w it just to give people an idea where riverside is. But technically it's just riverside

Greenback for Statehood.

To show how disinterested I am in Forrest's game, I'd almost rather be at this one.

Just like last year. see there is one small difference then last year let's look at this which to me is the best predictability that everyone overlooks. Last year at this point AC scoring was 544-111 This year same point 461-148 So scoring less allowing more. Last year at this point for us Scoring was 406-174 This year same point 440-151 Scoring more giving up less especially considering most points were late against us. So see lets keep on pointing at last year. I look forward to Friday and then Friday.

All 4 Region 5 playoff teams represented in the top 15!

THE REMATCH??? We still got a game to be played....

I was messin with ya bud. Should be a good game. Polk played us good and we played badly most of the game. But at times they can be a pretty decent ball team.

Looks like a good assessment with the exception of 145. Lundy dominated Fields at an event in Johnson City a few weeks ago. The score didn't reflect the beat down he put on Fields. To Hamm's defense, Lundy didn't wrestle last season and he might of not known that Lundy vs. Fields went down. Lundy is hungry for the state title. He's worked his tale off this summer. Gonna have to put my money on Lundy.

I got one. Quit taking scripture out of context and get back to football lol

Awww nah, I skipped SMOOTH PAST this when I first saw it last night sans-tagging. That suspect coaching claim is ... nope, you all will not pull this out of me. I'm looking forward to Whitehaven, Kirby, Fairley, Lausanne and MUS' Cookeville runs!!!

Citing missed instructional time for a high school playoff... I have seen it all now.

23 you are in over your head. Please accept this as a gesture of kindness. And it's only gonna get worse. CB is the McGregor of this board. and Greenback is Jose Aldo

Nice response Hammer! However, cofo can’t read!

I believe it too (#1 RANKED 2A team)

Meigs and Watertown would both have a chance to beat ANY 1A team. This is silliness.

He is a really good player. Just like several more on that team. They are living in dreamland if they think they aren’t going to miss those kids. I believe they could have 5 all state players.

46 ON 2

But that didn't happen and Greeneville went on to a third gold ball and AC was at home with nothing but a good first quarter.

Going with UC. This is the time of year they turn it up a notch. Plus I don't want Swo sending a "hit squad" after me.

I’m looking forward to coming back to Blankenship and eating at Big Ed’s or Dean’s. My eagles have had a down year for sure. We have been plagued with injuries, but after what I seen this past Friday we are getting healthy. We played well against a solid Cane Ridge team. Cane Ridge wasn’t as good as last year’s team no but still a very good football team. We did make some changes on our bye week that seemed to work pretty well against Cane Ridge. The biggest key for Rhea coming into this game is not to turn over the ball. When we do it kills us and has cost us the ball game a few times. We also have to have better play in the second half. We have lost some games by not finishing. We have to play a full game if we are going to have any chance of winning. I’m cautiously optimistic for Rhea, I think both teams match up well on both sides of the ball, but I believe OR has the speed advantage with Graham, Booker, Romano, and Pendergrass. I do think Rhea has the better kicking game from what I have watched. I don’t expect for us to bring as big of a crowd as last time, but we should represent pretty well. That 2014 team and the run we went on was something very special. Its a house divided this week for me. Good luck Oak Ridge. GO EAGLES!

RR quiet likelee yore best post evur.........Bow yorn's heads.......Lett's here moore frum tha Legund.......

It's very possible. Huntingdon always has strong teams. Looking forward to some good playoff football. Good luck along the way.

Only if it’s a bona fide change of residence for any chicken used in the voodoo

Im just getting my Good Friend Jeff riled up

Ahhhhhh....................the annual "Lets see how much football will make for the T$$AA this year" thread. Some things are a given for Tn high school football every year. 1. Everyone does NOT like the playoffs except the T$$AA, but nothing ever gets done. 2. Then there is the DB thread about not making it past the second round of the playoffs or NOT making them at all thread. 3. Then there is the Maryville is beating EVERYBODY yet again thread. Cannot gripe about this one as they do beat EVERYBODY! Some things are consistent in Tn football.

Cannot predict this one as NEITHER team is consistent enough to predict on.

Booker made bad decisions in the Powell game (awful pitches when he should've eaten it). His biggest problem is his inconsistency passing the football...but I love it when the ball is in his hands!

I agree Batman a lot of good people in Elizabethton. I always want to see it stay in the east part of the State

ohhhh man....hate to say it DMan but this was a good one....i need to see a devilmanlike comeback soon
