It wouldn't be the 1st one for Coach Clark

"No where near the top?" Houston beat Bartlett (state champ) and split with Christian Bros. (state champ) during the regular season and made it to state semis only to lose against South Doyle in a win-or-go-home game for either team. I think those three were pretty near the top last season. But, hey, who's counting, right?

Let me correct one thing. I actually played for Houston last year and pitched the game against Bartlett. We won that game 10-5. They never beat us. But you're right, they did beat some really good teams, and I think all but 1 or 2 of their starters are returning, so they'll be really good. An after thought...Bartlett has played CBHS before and the games are usually pretty close. I think it'll be close contention among Bartlett, CBHS, and Houston. In AAA, Collierville and Germantown can definitely hold their own, too.

final score anyone?

Yep

Houston will win

Whitehaven was playing for a lot out there and Houston knew they were in the playoffs. As it was WHS's senior night and potential last game, they played with deep conviction. Now, Houston may have had a bad game (I know, I play for them), but you're counting them out so quickly?

I was just speculating on how a #1 seeded DII team can win two games (bye) and win it all. On the contrary, all teams in 5A (and 4,3,2,1A), regardless of what seed, MUST win 5 to take home the trophy. Anybody willing to expand on this? Just thought it was kinda humorous.

As Bolton won over Houston in OT 23-20 in regular season, the Mustangs are looking for a little revenge. What are some thoughts of this round 1 matchup at Bolton?

Those LBs are definitely worthy (I know from experience personally), but Link is out, if I'm not mistaken, for the season.

Top 4

it dances and its pink, whats not to like about it

If White Station, Wooddale, and Houston all win out, they would all be 6-1 in region 8, but WS and Wooddale would be 9-1 overall. So I guess they'd finish the tie breaker with WS 1st and Wooddale 2nd and Houston would end up 3rd, playing Bolton in rd.1. If Wooddale loses to Cville, WS and Hous would be tied for 1st, but Houston beat WS, so Hous would claim title and #1 spot. Unless the tie breaker works in a different way, that would probably be the end result. Remaining games: White Station vs Hamilton @ Halle (Thurs) Wooddale vs Collierville @Halle (Fri) Houston @ Whitehaven

What about Houston (7-2, 5-1), who has knocked off Germantown and White Station the last 2 weeks and has moved into a 3-way for 1st in region 8? Just speculating

Also, conditions on the field hindered some offensive production for both teams. It was a pretty wet and muddy out there. Regardless, an intense defensive dogfight.

I guess raw athleticism is what wins football games...hhs must not stand a chance

People have said that region 6 is tough, but if I'm right, I think they only have maybe 4 (if that many) contending teams, but I could be wrong...8-5a is pretty loaded

They do have some pretty good backers and some good receivers. It'll be a tough game, you're right and they are undefeated, but we'll see what we can do. We're starting to come along..but you kinda have your own hands full with Currie and ECS on Friday night, so hopefully yall have the athelticism to get the job done, but John Michael will have to have a heck of a night...

HHS 6-2 (4-1): comes off 27-24 2 OT W over Gtown WSHS 8-0 (5-0): comes off 21-20 W over Wooddale Will WSHS remain perfect, or can HHS throw a wrench atop the region? Thoughts...?

Wow what a small world, and I pray he heals fast. But at least he has two more years of baseball and another year of football. So if he can't finish this season out, he has a lot more to look forward to. And if we don't see you again in the playoffs, then I will see you out at the baseball field this spring!

I'm real sorry to hear that. Is your son a senior? And I will tell greg; i know he'll appreciate it. Thanks again

that's right COACH BRAYYY ...i guess we will see, won't we?

I really appreciate that-a bunch of guys just stepped up when they needed to; it was hard-fought for both teams. However, with this classic rivalry, like you said, this game was destined to come down to something intense like 2 OT. Scott and I played competitive baseball together for 3 or 4 years and we're pretty good friends, but every year we played against each other from 7th grade until this year on the football field, we have battled it down to the wire nearly every time: 7th grade: 10-0 (3-0 til the 4th) (8th grade: 20-6 ) 9th grade: 23-19 (most intense freshman game) 10th grade: 15-14 reg season (playoff 21-0 ) 11th grade: 14-7 or 14-10 and this yr, as I didn't expect it to be any different, it was actually more exciting than any of them: 27-24 2 OT Thanks for not counting us out. I just hope we get to run into each other again in the playoffs.

Thanks, it appears we aren't TOO overrated

Well I actually play for Houston , I just wanted to see what your thoughts were...I guess we'll see tomorrow night.
