Milan is gonna have to start getting some pressure on High.

Making too many mistakes. Int on the goal line and the muffed kick hurt big time. Need a stop on this drive.

Who is this Bubba ref?

In 2008 Chase James said that Milan was the best team they played all year (CAK and Maryville included). When Rankin was asked about it he said, "Milan is definitely the 2nd best team in the state." We knew this wasn't one of our best teams. Still very young. But, this one ain't over yet.

Which Milan player muffed the kick?

Public Broadcasting is not working, of course. Can't watch it on tssaa website. Anyone know where I can get a feed?

Knoxville Paper Jackson Sun

Trevor Milan (#7) who I've mentioned several times before on this thread had I believe 5 TFL and a sack against CPA. The other D-end Braxton Simpson who recorded the safety had 3 TFL and 3 sacks last week. If we can get enough pressure with our front 4 where we can drop Coleman and Graves (who has a couple of pick 6's this postseason) I like our chances. In the Milan paper CAK head coach said Milan reminded him a lot of Alcoa. Sound fundamentals, not much trickery, great athletes, pound the football.

Football Dad, at the conclusion of the regular season there were a lot of west tenn football "gurus" who were saying this was the worst Milan team since the mid 90's. The Milan folks knew that while this was not the most talented Milan team, there was plenty of talent there. So, the vast majority of people didn't think we'd make it this far. And we're still pretty young (Jr class has pretty much led this team). As for you CAK boys, well you beat Alcoa not once, but twice. That alone is enough to position y'all as the favorites. The AP poll is nothing that should be taken seriously, and you lost 2 games by a combined 2 points. While our DBs have, like the rest of our team, played very well in the playoffs, that's probably our biggest weakness. But, hopefully they can play like they have the last couple of weeks. Again, the talent is there, just have to play like it.

All of the Jrs. should be listed as Srs. and all of the Sophomores with the exception of #22 Trey Belew should be listed as Jrs. Milan has 5 seniors and 6 juniors starting on offense. There are 4 seniors, 6 juniors, and 1 sophomore starting on defense.

How well does High scramble around?

lol at this

I will be interested to see how the front 4 of Milan matches up with CAK's O-line and how much pressure they're able to get. Milan's D-ends were in the backfield all night against CPA and Nunn is a beast in the middle. If CAK's tackles aren't quick it will be difficult to block Trevor Milan and Simpson.

And if not for MUS and Brentwood no telling how many championships Milan would have won in the 80's. All we have to show from that era is that we've made the playoffs every year since '82.

He's a junior. Not sure what kind of student he is. One of his brothers graduated in 05 and played MLB at Tennessee State, the other was also a great athlete but was killed when he was shot in the back last year.
