Melrose had to play at 11:00, which is 10:00 their time. They either had to leave Memphis at 3 or 4 AM or come up early and spend the night. Spending the night would get awful expensive I would think.

26 penalties in this game, not counting the offsetting penalties. Some were obvious, but others seemed like the refs inserted themselves too much. I could be wrong, but it seems two championship teams would not have that many penalties. Plus Morris got ejected.

Location is a big reason for low attendance. It is hard for fans in the west to travel to Chatt. It would be hard for fans in the east to travel to Memphis. I think the championships should be centrally located in Nashville or Murfreesboro. Then I believe crowds increase.

Given the rain and sloppy field conditions, I got Germantown taking this one. Seems Collierville relys a lot on the passing game which will be tough to do in this weather.

Germantown by 14

That's the truth. Houston, Germantown, Bartlett, Collierville and what seems to be an improved Whitehaven. Somebody's getting left out of the playoffs!

Thinking Houston takes this one. Lot of experience returning for them.

I f that happens here, the players better choose wisely. If they transfer and it doesn't work out or is not a good fit, then they are in a bind.

I know this was a while back but Southwind whipped Collierville in a scrimmage, if I'm not mistaken. Collierville beat Beech, also a while back. May mean nothing.

Haven't seen anything about any of these matchups. Wondering what your thoughts are. Could R8 sweep round 1?

I see that when it is helmet to helmet, but not all the time.

It's not typical for targeting to even be called.

Thank you for the info. I looked the rule up and noticed it doesn't define targeting. I would think this needs to be defined in the rules. We all know what it is in college because they tell us the definition every Saturday when it comes up. This should be included in the NFHS rules although there is no replay to confirm it so it is up to the refs judgement. There's a can of worms right there.

I may be wrong but I don't think there is a targeting rule in high school. There is a rule against leading with your head.

Besides Tupelo, Houston also plays South Panola MS.

Been missing this. Thanks BHS. M y picks: CPA vs. Lausanne CBHS vs. MBA MUS vs. Baylor Brentwood vs. Bartlett This is a toss up Houston vs. Germantown Springfield vs. Munford Millington vs. Covington Huntingdon vs. Fairley Booker T. Washington vs. Peabody Lake Co. vs. MASE

Region 7 6A does not have one team in it from this year!

Don't know for sure, but maybe less travel for region games.

Big game here. Will Houston have a let down after beating Germantown?

Can Collierville keep rolling or will Germantown rebound from their first loss?

Agree with this being the first test for Collierville. But if Whitehaven is still reeling from 3 straight losses, this may not be a test either.

That should be a good game. Both teams seem to be very talented. Both had blowouts in game one, so we'll see who handles adversity the best.

Let's get some conversation going. Some games to discuss are Germantown -MUS, White Station-Central, Whitehaven-Ridgeway, Briarcrest-Houston, Bartlett-Hoover Al. Any thoughts or any other games you want to discuss?

Had to get a thread started. Any thoughts on any games this week? There are some good ones out there. CBHS-Germantown, Southwind-Lausanne, etc.

Thanks dannyq for doing this. I know it takes hard work, but it is appreciated.
