While both players are super skilled, what is more important, winning the battle or the war? Competing with a highly skilled player will bring out the best, best over sensationalizing one rep in one drill says little about the context of the overall competition. Here's hoping both players find success and health during the season and they have success moving forward at their respective schools.

Tyner is a hot bed?? Great school?? extremely doubtful

It's his 3rd school in as many years.

Nope

he's more like 6'1''

let the dust settle and see what happens. Too many things happening in AAA. Transfers Coaching hires Injuries Etc.

This has been coming for a few years

Not a huge surprise. Something has to change over there.

Uhhhhh, what???

Kids want to follow success- for sure.

Makes one wonder about the legality according to the TSSAA. Bet if there was some research they would find TD isn't exactly getting some players legitimately.

On a separate but seemingly related topic, what is the feel in and around Nashville about Lipscomb Academy and CPA getting those players that normally would be going to BA, MBA, and Ensworth? Is there anything to this?

This was a dominating performance from McCallie. They seemed to have Reed off his rhythm for the entirety of the game. It's hard to win one gold bowl, but to do win 3 in a row is most impressive. Anyone know the reaction from MBA?

Early predictions for the MBA/McCallie game? 1. How much of an advantage is it for McC for the game to be played in their backyard? Will Chattanooga show up and support the local team? 2. Does MBA have revenge on their mind from 2019 and an earlier loss in the season? 3. Can McCallie accomplish a 3-peat?

McCallie cruises into the State Championship with a 47-7 dismantling of JP2. Still awaiting final of CBHS/MBA. MBA looks to have it well in hand.

What's next for these programs: Brentwood Academy- was this considered a rebuilding year? Baylor- Is Massey on his way out? Father Ryan- are they ready to take the next step? MUS- Are they no longer the toast of Memphis? Briarcrest- can they take the next step or are they just a basketball school?

The semifinals are going to be interesting to watch.

Why has it taken Baylor so long "to figure this out"?

Predictions for tonight: MBA will be all over Baylor. Baylor ends another season with high expectations and low outcomes, again. Briarcrest will squeak out a W over CBHS. CBHS shows they can play with the best in the West, but can't get it done in the end. McCallie wins of FR. Father Ryan hangs in there early, but McCallie is just too good and has weapons all over the field. BA upset by Pope Prep- A crazy finish allows JP2 to end BA's up and down season.

Way to go out on a limb…

Ryan has some good momentum heading into this game with McCallie. Unfortunately for Ryan, they don't have the same type of skill set of Clearwater nor do they have the ability by the DL to apply pressure. Much of the success of LB blitzes is help set up by a dominant DL. Ryan has a skilled QB with the ability to burn you if overlooked. Pope vs BA is the game of the week. Pope has the offense to match most anyone, but their D is a dumpster fire. Baylor/MBA.... Baylor will have to improve from what they showed vs Ensworth to have a chance.

Are we sure they just didn't want to play?

and your point?

Now that all the dust has settled and the matchups are set, what are the most intriguing matchups in the opening round of the D2AAA playoffs? Can't help but think the Baylor/Ensworth matchup is going to be one to watch.

Not sure MUS over BA is an upset. Maybe, but BA is fragile- has been all year. Ryan over Baylor wouldn't be surprising. Ryan is a quality team and Baylor has stumbled along all year long.
