Waverly beats Stewart County by about 20 - 25 points tonight.

The Waverly Tigerettes win tonight over Stewart County by a score of 35-34.

Waverly beat Perry County by six last night. It was not a pretty win but it was a win. 43-37

yes Waverly is in. The Wildcards are Cumberland Gap, Sequatchie County, Waverly, West Greene, and JCS in that order.

Correct the wildcards are Cumberland Gap, Sequatchie County, Waverly, West Greene, and JCS in that order.

You have one mistake West Greene is in not Adamsville. Adamsville and West Greene have the same overall record 5-5. West Greene has two wins over .500 or better teams, Adamsville only one. so the last spot goes to West Greene.

Not so fast. Gibson is still probably on the outside. 1st wildcard is Sequatchie, 2nd Cumberland gap, third is Waverly if Huntingdon beats Adamsville, The fourth and fifth spots would probably come down to West Greene, JCS, and Gibson. Each would have two wins against .500 or better teams. However, the next tie break is opponents overall victories. Gibson is going to lose out there to both W. Greene and JCS. If Rockwood beats CAK then CAK would become a wildcard candidate and jump over Gibson. Gibson is going to be one of the 5-5 teams left out.

yes that is possible. Sycamore could be sent to the region east and north of nashville and camden could be brought in. Both schools are pushing hard to be put in this region. Hopefully, TSSAA will not cave in to both teams and make this a nine team region. Cheatham County Cubs I Believe

Also Waverly AAA and Sycamore AAAA

yes, that is correct. i was simply stating the wild card possibilities. If Adamsville wins they will be a wildcard with their six wins. The benefit to waverly would be that they would finish second in their region. of course if they upset Camden, Waverly would be first.

Also West Greene would get GC on the next tie break (more opponents victories and JCS on the head to head tiebreak over GC) almost no way they can make it (may be no way) they cannot jump over Waverly, cumberland gap, CAK (stronger schedule), Sequatchie, West Greene, pretty much on the outside looking in.

Very Slim, GC can get to a 5 win level and probably get in to the pool for a wild card, but they will have only one win versus a .500 or better team. Waverly have two and JCS possibly two. GC has almost zero chance even if everthing fell their way. There are simply two many teams with 6 or more wins state wide and 5 win teams with more wins against .500 teams.

you are correct about west greene (my bad) a win get them to 6 wins. However, if CAK loses to rockwood they would only have five wins and two wins against .500 or better teams. I agree harpeth is not likely to win (i was just giving the worse case for waverly) but Waverly would still have 2 wins against .500 teams and when you go to the next tie break (opponents total victories Waverly is in pretty good shape- strong out of region schedule) All that being said I don't think Cannon beats Smith so I think Waverly is about as good a shape as any of the 5 win teams.

Yes but the chances are very slim. West Greene would have to beat Cumberland gap. That would give them a chance to qualify as a wildcard. Rockwood needs to beat CAK, that would qualify them at third in their region and CAK would be a wildcard with 6 wins. Cannon County would have to upset Smith county. That would give them third in their region and put Smith in as a wild card. If all that happens then you wild cards would be 1. Cumberland Gap 2. CAK 3. Sequatchie County 4. Smith County all with 6 wins or more. That would leave Waverly (assuming Adamsville loses to Huntingdon) fighting for the last spot with possibly JCS, Gibson, Harpeth, and West Greene. Now that is assuming everything that can go wrong for Waverly does and if it does they are still in good shape with 3 wins versus .500 teams (Harpeth, Adamsville, and Stewart county) and that would put them in. Basically they are probably going to make it. Clear as Mud?

No teams in region 9 have a chance for wildcards. In region 8 only JCS and Gibson have a chance. If JCS wins this week they will have one win against a .500 or better team (unless Gibson beats Humboldt and then they would have 2 wins.) one win may not get you in, with two their chances are much better. Gibson must win to qualify for a wildcard, but they have only 1 win against a .500 or better team and their chances are slim.

South Greene is probably going to get third in their region. Their last game is against winless North Greene and they have the tie break over Cumberland Gap. If West Greene beats Cumberland Gap they could both be wildcards. Cumberland Gap has 6 wins and is a lock to be a wildcard. Sequatchie, and Cumberland Gap will be wildcards. Waverly and West Greene (if they win) have excellent chances to make it. If Adamsville wins they are in with 6 wins. Jackson Christian is in decent shape if they win this week. However, an upset here or there can sure change thins.

No. Huntingdon has no chance as a wildcard. They must beat Adamsville to get third in Region 7. If they lose they will be 4-6 and have no chance at a wildcard. Adamsville with a win would have 6 wins and be a lock for a wildcard.

Not so fast! Waverly has a good chance of getting one of the wildcards. Probably see two wildcards from the west side and three from the east barring some big upsets. Even then Waverly is decent shape with at least 2 wins against .500 or better teams and even better shape if you go to the tiebreak of opponents total victories. Not a lock by any means but they are in better shape than most of the potential wildcard teams.

The problem with scheduling a difficult out of region game is the TSSAA does not reward playing tough out of region games. In the system they use to pick wildcards the first consideration is overall record. No matter who you have played. So if you have two out of region games next year (and remember they will use wildcards) the smart thing to do is to schedule two cupcakes. Now this is assuming the TSSAA will still put overall record as their first consideration. However, the second consideration is number of teams you have beat with a non-losing record. That is the major problem I have with a system that depends on TSSAA filling out the remainder of the playoff bracket. There simply is no completely fair and balanced way to "select" teams. The only true fair way is to have a set number of teams from each region or district make the playoffs each year.

It will never happen unless the Director of Schools insisted on it. However, considering what it could do for both programs financially it would seem to be a great idea.

Hopefully Waverly comes out ready to play this Friday night and can get the big win they need to get in the playoffs. Look forward to being in Huntigdon this Friday. Go Tigers!!
