Simple: Meigs would be 1st in 3 out of the 5 scenarios, or 2nd in 2 of them. Tyner would be 1st in 2 out of the 5 scenarios, or 3rd in 3 of them. McMinn Central would be 2nd in 3 of the 5 scenarios, or 3rd in 2 of them. Bottom line is that Meigs fans are pulling for Central, and Central fans are pulling for Meigs.

Division I, Class 3A, Region 3 1 2 3 4 Sweetwater wins, Meigs Co. wins, Chattanooga Central wins Meigs Co. McMinn Central Tyner Chattanooga Central Tyner wins, Brainerd wins, Chattanooga Central wins Tyner Meigs Co. McMinn Central Brainerd Tyner wins, Sweetwater wins, Chattanooga Central wins Tyner Meigs Co. McMinn Central Chattanooga Central Sweetwater wins, McMinn Central wins Meigs Co. McMinn Central Tyner ? Brainerd wins Meigs Co. McMinn Central Tyner Brainerd

It will be nice for Central to have a home game for the 1st round of the playoffs. I think I read this would be the first time for them to host a playoff game since 2014? Coach Moody and his staff have done a good job rebuilding the Central program.

I listened until Tellico was surprisingly ahead 18-16 about midway of the 2nd quarter. The coaches obviously got the players' attention at halftime.

So, Meigs fans are pulling for Central to win, and Central fans by supporting their team will be wanting Meigs to win the Region?!?!?? Shakespeare had it right when he penned adversity making strange bedfellows. Tellico hadn't scored 38 points combined in their last 4 games, but they were very motivated playing McMinn Central. Coaches always warn their players that they can't overlook any opponent. The Meigs players learned that when they played Polk Co.

Tyner has improved considerably since the season started and their young, talented players have responded and grown up quick. If Tyner has most of these players back next season they'll have a good chance to win the Region, along with McMinn Central.... in my opinion. I don't know enough about the other teams in the Region to comment on how good they'll be next season.

McMinn Centra's defense has been porous the last 4 games, giving up an average of 31 points a game. But they've gone 3-1 in those 4 games which shows they have a pretty potent scoring offense. Just average defensive play against Chattanooga Central should suffice since McMinn Central should easily score 30+ points in this matchup.

Cleveland had 13 penalties for 100 yards, so it was a wash.

LMAO.... Bradley had 12 penalties for 110 yards.

Regardless of what happens Thursday, Coach Bunch and his staff has done a remarkable job with the team this season. New coaching staff, new philosophies, 9 straight weeks without a break, yet they're undefeated playing a pretty tough schedule and winning the Region their first season in Class 3. I bet no one thought Meigs would be undefeated after 9 games (and hopefully 10).

This one could get ugly real quick. I know the game is at Central, but there's not a prettier setting than a night football game at Tellico! And the last time I was there the food was excellent.

I mentioned last week that Polk always plays Meigs tough. Meigs totally dominated the game stat-wise, but they committed too many ill-timed errors to put the game away. Give credit to Coach Davis and his staff and the Polk County team for fighting hard and making Meigs earn the victory. The Tigers want to stay undefeated and win Region 3 in their first year competing in 3A football, so I believe they'll beat Brainerd.

Early, mid, or late 80's?

Did you play for Coach Kisabeth on one of those great teams in the 80's?

I'd love to see it too, but Meigs isn't going to upset Alcoa. That just isn't going to happen. It's not a given that either Meigs or Giles will even make it to the 3rd round (?) to play each other. As you know, if you start looking too far ahead and don't respect your next opponent, that next opponent can hang an L on you. Meigs has a tough assignment this Friday in Benton against non-district opponent, Polk Co. They always seem to play Meigs a good game.

Yep! Especially when you now have to beat Alcoa to make it to the state title game. In other words, it just isn't going to happen.

The young, talented Rams are growing up and getting better every week, but I think Central will regroup and win at home Friday night.

Ethan definitely deserves the recognition! Teams know he's going to run the ball and stack their defenses to stop him, but he still puts up solid yardage. Been watching him play basketball since Middle School. He's a great player there too - just a great athlete all around. He comes from good stock, his Dad was an all stater in football and I think he still owns at least one state record. (BTW, his Dad should have been named Mr Football). Ethan's Mom played on one of the Lady Tigers State Championship basketball teams in the early 90's.

Great job, Yeti. Would love to see Ethan in the running (no pun intended). His older brother Will should have won it with his stats his Senior year, but it's virtually impossible for a young man from a small rural school in east Tennessee to win.

Yeah, those statements ring hollow when he did what he did to the coach. Principals usually do things like that when they don't have the fortitude to stand up to outside pressure. I could understand if the Principal told the coach after last season that he'd give him one more season to show improvement by whatever metric he chose, but to dismiss him after 7 games is just ridiculous based on the won-loss record alone.

“Alex is a great guy, and a good coach,” Principal Pantall said Monday. If the Principal really meant what he said, why wouldn't he allow Alex to finish out the season?

High school for sure. Nothing like seeing players play for community pride. Many of them are undersized or not all that talented and athletic, but they play with heart and give it all they have in them.

Your sweet daughter would have my vote if I could vote. I hope she picks out a VERY expensive dress!

FFA will be serving their annual bbq dinner this week prior to the game with Pigeon Forge. Come hungry.... rumor has it that Dadof2 is paying for all Meigs County fans who are on CoachT.
