Congrats South Pitt! Great win in a very good football game!

18,149 was the attendance for McCallie vs Baylor last night. 6th highest attended football game in Finley Stadium history, Incredible! 1. Appalachian State vs Delaware 2007 23,010 2. Appalachian State vs UMass 2006 22,808 3. UTC vs Tennessee State 1997 22,642 4. Appalachian State vs Northern Iowa 2005 20,236 5. Georgia Southern vs Youngstown State 1999 20,052 6. McCallie vs Baylor 2023 18,149 7. Richmond vs Montana 2008 17,832

Seen that Mike Keith will be on the call again tomorrow for this game.

Seating capacity is 20,668. The largest crowd ever for a football game was the FCS National Championship with App State vs Delaware at 23,010.

Well rounded is the best way to describe them. They only give up about 13 pts a game and have 3 shutouts. They tackle very well and do a good job of keeping things in front of them. However, they don’t necessarily force a lot of turnovers or come away with a lot of sacks either. They have a good run defense led by their linebackers. The defensive line has plays well against the run but they don’t get a ton of pressure. Secondary has some good athletes that can play. Offensively the passing game is very dangerous and Schwarzl is the cog that makes that offense go. They don’t turn the ball over. I think Schwarzl has thrown 2 picks all year and they haven’t lost any fumbles. If you look at the 2 losses Walker Valley has East Ham and Bradley. The two common things is both teams ran the ball very well on WV and Schwarzl the QB did not play very well. WV can’t afford a slow start on offense this game. If they come out firing and having success, this could be a really good game. For West they have to shut down Schwarzl. Keep him in check and west rolls in to Chattanooga

The crowd will be big Thursday night. Seating capacity for Finley is 20,688. I don’t know if they can fill all 20,688 but it should be the biggest crowd for football at finley this year.

Brentwood Academy is open

I like West to win. WV’s offense is impressive especially when the QB is making plays. Honestly WV should have thrown the ball more against Clinton last night. WV was picking Clinton’s secondary apart. However, West’s defense is the reason they win this game.

NFHS looks like they will be broadcasting the game.

Here we go playoff time! A battle of old Region 4-5A teams. Rhea comes in pick up a nice road win against East Ham to secure 3rd in the region. Lenior City comes in after a drubbing of a weak Karns team. This potentially could go either way. If the Rhea team that showed up for East Ham, I like Rhea’s chances if it was the one that played Tyner I would give it to LC.

Talent level wise Campbell is similar to Rhea but I think East Ham has better athletes than Campbell.

Kind of hard to compare Rhea (completely opposite) and East Ham (I think East Ham has better athletes) to Campbell. Campbell Co likes to spread things out on offense and throw it around. I don’t think their offense is as good as it was last year though. They’re alright on defense nothing very special that I remember.

Here we go the last week of the season. We got some big games this week for playoff positions and championship. 5 regions will have championship games this week. Most of the 5A games will be played on Thursday this week. Big Games this week Daniel Boone vs TN High Knox Central vs Knox Halls Knox West vs Powell- Championship Game Rhea Co vs East Hamilton Walker Valley vs McMinn- Championship Game Shelbyville vs Tullahoma- Championship Game Centennial vs Hillsboro Page vs Nolensville- Championship Game Hendersonville vs Henry- Championship Game Beech vs Springfield Munford vs Memphis Central *= In the playoffs #= out of the playoffs $=Region Champion Region 1 standings Sevier Co ( 8-1 4-0)$ Mo West (4-5 3-1)* TN High (6-3 2-2)* Daniel Boone (3-5 2-2)* David Crockett (3-6 1-3)# Cocke Co (1-8 0-4)# The playoff teams are set in this region with Sevier Co winning the region championship and Mo-West locking up 2nd.

Current match ups if the playoffs started Friday Sevier Co vs Knox Central Mo West vs Knox Halls Knox West vs TN High Powell vs Daniel Boone Region 3 Oak Ridge (7-2 3-0)$ Lenior City (5-4 2-1)* Clinton (3-6 2-2)* Campbell Co (4-5 1-2)* Karns (1-8 0-3)# Oak Ridge wrapped up the region championship with the win over Lenior City last night and Clinton clinched the 3rd seed with their win over Karns. Karns has been eliminated from playoff contention. Region 4 McMinn Co (6-2 4-0)* East Ham (6-2 3-1)* Walker Valley (6-2 3-1)* Rhea Co (4-4 2-2)* Ooltewah (1-7 0-4)# Howard (1-6 0-4)# Here we go final week in region 4 and the championship game between McMinn and Walker Valley. McMinn is coming off a loss to a good Powell team. Walker Valley picked up a win against PURE Academy. East Ham and Rhea meet Thursday night at East Ham for 3rd place and avoiding a trip to Oak Ridge in the 1st round. If the playoffs started Friday Oak Ridge vs Rhea Co Lenior City vs Walker Valley East Ham vs Clinton McMinn Co vs Campbell Co Region 5 Shelbyville (8-1 5-0)* Tullahoma ( 7-2 4-1)* Columbia (6-3 3-2) Lawrence Co (3-6 2-4) Lincoln Co (3-6 2-3) Franklin Co (2-7 2-3) Spring Hill (2-7 0-5)# Shelbyville and Tullahoma square off for the region championship on Thursday. Columbia takes on Lincoln Co for 3rd place and Franklin Co must win vs Spring Hill to have a chance. Lawrence Co needs some help to make the playoffs but they are still alive at this point. There could be lot of movement in this region. 4 teams for 2 spots. Region 6 Page (8-1 4-0)* Centennial (7-2 3-1)* Nolensville (8-1 3-1)* Hillsboro (6-3 2-2)* James Lawson (3-5 0-4)# Glencliff (2-7 0-4)# Page knocked off Centennial to take over the top spot heading into the final week. For Page a win is an out right region championship. If Nolensville wins it forces a three way tie for the top spot and the tiebreaker looks like it would go to Nolensville with the tie breaker of most wins . If they playoffs started Friday Shelbyville vs Hillsboro Tullahoma vs Nolensville Centennial vs Columbia Page vs Lawrence Co Region 7 Henry Co (8-1 4-0)* Beech (5-4 3-1)* Hendersonville (7-2 3-1)* Springfield (4-5 2-2)* Portland (1-8 0-4)# Hunters Lane (1-8 0-4)# Henry Co vs Hendersonville for the region this week. Beech and Springfield match up for what could be a 2nd place finish for Beech if Henry wins and and they beat Springfield. For Springfield it’s simple win and you are 3rd. Region 8 Southwind (9-0 4-0)$ Munford (7-2 3-1) * Overton (4-5 2-2)* Memphis Central (5-4 2-2)* Brighton (3-6 1-3)# Kingsbury (1-8 0-4)# Playoff teams are set for the playoffs for this region. Munford and Memphis central will face off for a home playoff game on the line and force a possible 3 way tie for 2nd if Central and Overton win this week. Overton takes on Kingsbury. Also congrats to Kingsbury on their first win after getting outscored 419-0 before last week. Southwind takes on Brighton to try to finish off an undefeated regular season. If the playoffs started Friday Henry Co vs Memphis Central Beech vs Overton Munford vs Hendersonville Southwind vs Springfield

That would be correct. If the region finished in a 3 way tie the first tie breaker is head to head but if all three are still tied it goes to overall record. Now this is assuming H-ville beats Henry and Beech wins out. There is a few scenarios for this region H-ville- They win they get the region championship. If they lose and they fall to third if Beech wins out. If H-ville loses out and Springfield beats Beech. H-ville would be 2nd. For Beech- if they win out and H-ville doesn’t beat Henry. Beech is 2nd. If Beech loses out and Hunters Lane wins out Beech is out and Hunters Lane makes it as the 4 seed. If Beech beats Hunters Lane but loses to Springfield and H-ville loses to Henry and there is a 3 way tie for 2nd at 3-2 among Beech H-ville and Springfield then it would go to head to head then overall record. Assuming Springfield beats Gallatin and Beech and finishes at6-4 and H-ville finishes at (6-4 or 7-3) and Beech splits and finishes 5-5. H-ville would be 2nd due to overall record at 7-3 or they would have the head to head vs Springfield. Springfield and Beech would be decided by head to head and Springfield would be 3rd, Beech 4th. For Springfield if they beat Beech they are 3rd and Beech 4th.

The playoff picture is taking shape and more tickets will be punched this week. Here is the update for the week. Big Games this week Knox Central vs Heritage Mo West vs Bearden non-region Sevier Co vs East Hamilton-non region McMinn Co vs Powell non-region Knox Halls vs Knox West Lenior City vs Oak Ridge Centennial vs Page *= In the playoffs #= out of the playoffs $=Region Champion Region 1 standings Sevier Co ( 7-1 4-0)$ Mo West (4-4 3-1)* TN High (5-3 2-2)* Daniel Boone (3-4 2-2)* David Crockett (3-5 1-3)# Cocke Co (1-6 0-4)# Sevier Co and Daniel Boone matched up and Sevier walked away with at least a share of the Region Championship, but more importantly the 1 Seed. Mo West has secured the 2nd seed and a home playoff game with their win over David Crockett. TN High is in the playoffs with their win over Cocke Co. Daniel Boone are also in the playoffs after Friday. TN High and Daniel Boone will play to determine who finished 3rd and 4th in two weeks. David Crockett is out, even with a win over Sevier Co in two weeks they would lose the head to head tie breaker vs Daniel Boone or TN High. Cocke Co is out of the playoff race. Region 2 Powell (6-2 3-0)* Knox West (7-1 2-0)* Knox Halls (7-1 1-1) Knox Central (4-4 0-2) Heritage (3-5 0-3) Heritage went out of region and picked up a nice non-region win over Lenior City. Now Hertiage and Knox Central will square off on Rivalry Thursday to decide who is going to the playoffs. Powell welcomes McMinn Co for a big non-region game in what potentially could be a preview of the semi finals. Knox Hall and Knox West face off in a critical match up for both teams if they want a home playoff game. For West it’s a chance to go play Powell for the region championship the following week and for Halls it would put them in position to secure 2nd place in the region if they win out. Current match up if the playoffs started Friday Sevier Co vs Knox Central Mo West vs Knox Halls Knox West vs TN High Powell vs Daniel Boone Region 3 Oak Ridge (6-2 2-0)* Lenior City ( 5-3 2-0)* Clinton (2-6 1-2) Campbell Co (3-5 1-2) Karns (1-7 0-2) Oak Ridge dropped a tough game to Bearden, but now they must turn their attention to Lenior City for the region championship. Clinton and Karns get together Friday. For Clinton a win and they are in if Karns wins they keep their playoffs hopes alive going into the final week of the season. Region 4 McMinn Co (6-2 4-0)* East Ham (6-2 3-1)* Walker Valley (6-2 3-1)* Rhea Co (4-4 2-2)* Ooltewah (1-7 0-4)# Howard (1-6 0-4)# All teams in this region are playing non-region games this week with McMinn at Powell and East Ham going on the road to Dollyland and Sevier Co. Rhea looks to build some momentum vs Tyner and Walker Valley plays Pure Academy. If the playoffs started Friday Oak Ridge vs Rhea Co Lenior City vs Walker Valley East Ham vs Clinton McMinn Co vs Campbell Co Region 5 Shelbyville (7-1 4-0)* Tullahoma ( 6-2 3-1)* Columbia (5-3 3-2) Lawrence Co (3-5 2-3) Lincoln Co (3-5 2-2) Franklin Co (1-7 1-3) Spring Hill (2-6 0-4)# Shelbyville took care of business with Lawrence Co and now have look to Lincoln Co. A win for Shelbyville will be one step closer to a region championship and would secure a home playoff game. For Lincoln it means keeping their playoff hopes alive going into the final week. Tullahoma goes on the road for a critical region game a win would put them facing Shelbyville for the region championship the following week. Columbia is out of region playing James Lawson before playing Lincoln Co for what could be a playoff spot. Lawrence Co and Franklin play in what is basically an elimination game. Winner keeps their playoff hopes alive. Region 6 Centennial (7-1 3-0)* Page (7-1 3-0)* Nolensville (7-1 3-1)* Hillsboro (5-3 1-2) James Lawson (3-5 0-4)# Glencliff (2-6 0-3) Centennial vs Page in what could decide the championship for the region for Centennial. If Page wins then that would put them in a position to take the region title the next week verses Nolensville. Nolensville is taking on Summit this week in a non region battle. Hillsboro could punch their ticket to the playoffs with a win over Glencliff. Glencliff needs to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. If they playoffs started Friday Shelbyville vs Hillsboro Tullahoma vs Nolensville Page vs Columbia Centennial vs Lawrence Co Region 7 Henry Co (7-1 4-0)* Hendersonville (6-2 3-1)* Beech (4-4 2-1) Springfield (4-4 2-2) Portland (1-7 0-4)# Hunters Lane (1-7 0-3) Henry Co is facing off with Ridgeway in a non-region game. Hendersonville disposed of Portland to set up the region championship game in two weeks with Henry Co. H-ville goes out of region to take on Lebanon this week. Beech can punch their ticket this week with a win over Hunters Lane. Region 8 Southwind (8-0 4-0)$ Munford (7-2 3-1) * Overton (4-4 2-2)* Memphis Central (5-4 2-2)* Brighton (3-5 1-3)# Kingsbury (0-8 0-4)# Memphis Central picked up the non region win yesterday. Playoff teams are set for the playoffs for this region and play all non region games this week. In two weeks Munford and Memphis central will face off for a home playoff game on the line and force a possible 3 way tie for 2nd If the playoffs started Friday Henry Co vs Memphis Central Hendersonville vs Overton Munford vs Beech Southwind vs Springfield

I was kind of wondering that when I was looking at the TSSAA region standings. I went off what they had as the region standings. I agree Beech should probably be 2nd. Like you said they beat H-ville and I would think 2-1 is better than 2-2. However, I think the Tssaa looks at it as all three have two wins and first tie breaker is overall record which H-villa does have. I don’t know but should straight out here in the coming weeks.

There was only 5 teams in the region last year so all they had to do was beat Howard and they made it in. East Ham was 4A last year.

It’s that time of the year the playoff picture starts to take shape. Here is a look at who would play who if the playoffs started Friday. I’ll update it each week leading up to the playoffs. There is still a lot of region battles going on and I have a feeling we will see some movement between now and Oct 27th. Big Games this week Sevier Co vs Daniel Boone Mo West vs David Crockett Bearden vs Oak Ridge- non region Shelbyville vs Lawrence Co Beech vs Siegel-non region Portland vs Hendersonville *= In the playoffs #= out of the playoffs $=Region Champion Region 1 standings Sevier Co ( 6-1 3-0)* Mo West (3-4 2-1) Daniel Boone (3-3 2-1) TN High (4-3 1-2) David Crockett (3-4 1-2) Cocke Co (1-6 0-3) Sevier Co and Daniel Boone match up this week in a key Region game. If Sevier wins they can wrap up a share of the region championship. For Daniel Boone they could really throw a wrench in the region by knock off Sevier. Mo West can all but seal up 2nd with a win Friday over David Crockett. For Crockett a win would get them right back in the playoff picture. A lose would almost certainly put them out of the playoffs. Tn High can seal their playoff spot with a win over Cocke Co and put Cocke Co out of playoff contention Friday. Region 2 Powell (6-2 3-0)* Knox West (7-1 2-0)* Knox Halls (7-1 1-1) Knox Central (4-4 0-2) Heritage (2-5 0-3) The only team playing in this region next Friday is Heritage taking on Lenior City in a non region match up. The next 2 weeks has some great match-ups coming out of this region Current match up if the playoffs started Friday Sevier Co vs Knox Central Mo West vs Knox Halls Knox West vs Daniel Boone Powell vs Tn High Region 3 Oak Ridge (6-1 2-0)* Lenior City ( 5-2 2-0)* Clinton (2-6 1-2) Campbell Co (3-5 1-2) Karns (1-7 0-2) Oak Ridge goes out of region again for a big match-up with Bearden. Lenior City takes a trip over to Heritage in another non-region game. Looking forward to Oak Ridge and LC play in 2 weeks. Region 4 McMinn Co (6-2 4-0)* East Ham (6-2 3-1)* Walker Valley (6-2 3-1)* Rhea Co (4-4 2-2)* Ooltewah (1-7 0-4)# Howard (1-6 0-4)# The playoff teams are set in this region with Rhea winning at Ooltewah last night. Now it comes down to the last week when we will find out who goes where in the playoffs. If the playoffs started Friday Oak Ridge vs Rhea Co Lenior City vs Walker Valley East Ham vs Clinton McMinn Co vs Campbell Co Region 5 Shelbyville (6-1 3-0) Tullahoma ( 6-2 3-1) Columbia (5-3 3-2)* Lawrence Co (3-4 2-2) Lincoln Co (3-4 2-2) Franklin Co (1-7 1-3) Spring Hill (2-6 0-4)# Shelbyville and Lawrence Co match up this week in a key region game. Shelbyville can take another step towards a region championship, but Lawrence can put themselves in a better playoff spot with a win. Region 6 Centennial (7-1 3-0)* Page (7-1 3-0)* Nolensville (7-1 3-1)* Hillsboro (5-3 1-2) James Lawson (3-5 0-4)# Glencliff ( 2-5 0-3) The only match up in this region this week is Glencliff going out of region to play Mt Juliet Christian. Two weeks will be the region championship game between Centennial and Page. If they playoffs started Friday Shelbyville vs Hillsboro Tullahoma vs Nolensville Page vs Columbia Centennial vs Lawrence Co Region 7 Henry Co (7-1 4-0)* Hendersonville (5-2 2-1) Springfield (4-4 2-2) Beech (3-4 2-1) Portland (1-6 0-3) Hunters Lane (1-7 0-3) This region has been entertaining to follow. This week gives us Hendersonville welcoming Portland this week. For Hendersonville a win keeps the region championship hopes alive. For Portland if they win it keeps their playoff hopes alive. Region 8 Southwind (8-0 4-0)$ Munford (7-1 3-1) * Overton (4-4 2-2) Memphis Central (4-4 2-2) Brighton (3-5 1-3) # Kingsbury (0-8 0-4)# Southwind has wrapped up the championship. They only match-ups in this region are non-region games with Memphis Central playing Manassas and Munford taking on Lausanne. If the playoffs started Friday Henry Co vs Memphis Central Hendersonville vs Overton Munford vs Springfield Southwind vs Beech

I seen an update this morning, that he was released from the hospital this morning and walked out on his own

Pretty simple for Rhea win and you are in the playoffs. Lose well the road gets tougher to make the playoffs. I know we are banged up and down this year but surely we can beat Ooltewah. I still don’t see Ethan coming back this week but he is probably getting closer to coming back. Maybe he will be back for his final home game against Tyner

I don’t know if it would be considered an upset but I like Cleveland in this game after seeing both teams play live. This is going to be a very good football game.
