Kwc and dou thanks for the support, you guys have a thing for Arlington...good let's see how it works out. I edited it to include trarderb .....

Good game Pats. Y'all have a nice stadium and a talented team. Good luck to you.

I haven't seen a 5A poll but I would think Craigmont High School (Memphis) might be under the radar in other parts of the state. They will be very competitive with a strong returning team. Lots of talent, including QB Sam Craft, who had a big part in their basketball state title last season.

Will be attending the Arlington vs Oakland game and looking for some info on traffic/route? What is the best route thru Nashville or around to the South?

Arlington rarely has kids play both ways. They have lots of kids and will sub regularly. I don't know what dress out but if I had to guess it would be over 60.

I saw from mid 2nd qtr till the end. I didn't see the Commerical appeal article, but these are my thoughts: Bartlett lined up in a pro set, haven't seen that at Bartlett in few years. They looked competitive on offense with a qb that can throw, and good WRs and speedy RBs. Defense struggled a little against Houston O. Houston, O and D looked good and competitive against both Arlington and Bartlett. Germantown, has good size, especially at LB some big guys. They have Quality back in Lowe and he ran well against Arlington. The D was strong and held Arlington scoreless. Arlington, O looked a little off, but they have lots of talent out there. The D looked good, but this is the jamboree. We will see how good they are next week playing a strong Oakland team, whom is ranked 10TH in the state. Arlington will have to play much better to compete.

Trying to get some West Tennessee football going!

Crimson? Next time I'm over there I will. BTW, I don't look like "Donkey", although my wife sometimes calls me a jack---. . Imagine that!

.... "hand held ground level video". Fair enough. Well, I'd expect a little less emotional reply from someone whose "real name" is Dragon Master. Is that a legal or given name? Pretty cool. We could be friends. others: "Hey where you going? me:"I, Onefortheteam and Dragon Master are going to the East so that we may smite those in the Middle, who plan to take titles from the West." others: "What? Dragon...smite?" me: "Yeah, Dragon Master. Don't ask. No, no, it is his real name." me: "you know that guy, who has like 600+ posts on coacht, whose favorite line is: {Don't be hiding behind a screenname, making comments and be a man..}" others: "oh, yeah, that guy." Just kidding.

I'm not hiding, I have no doubt about my manlyness and making comments is "THE" purpose for a discussion board. To be more exact, they were questions (notice the "?") and then comments on the "?s". As to who I am or who you say you are, I think a "man" would know that just because you type your name doesn't mean it is you. I don't know the name, and frankly it doesn't matter. The point of asking the questions was to try an understand why? I stand by my comments on the "?s" as well. There was nothing wrong with my post, it is my opinion and I am entitled to post it just like you.

I think it will be closer than that.

Fumbles by which team? I think we all know fumbles hurt both teams in that game, if either team doesn't fumble they win or win by more. As far as Wooddale, they are good and you maybe right, but I hope your wrong.

I have not seen Dyer County, but I seen Collierville. They have a talented bunch of young men. Dyer County will have their hands full. This should be a good game. I wonder if the Collierville coach traded films with them? I understand he has some issues with film trading? In this day and time, what kind of coach does that? Just seems bush league to me. Leaders do not behave that way.

I'm taking Craigmont here. Big(more like huge) up front and surrounded with talented skill players. They are young in spots. Craigmont by multiple scores.

Two good teams, and the winner gets the reward of either the defending champ or the consensus top team Whitehaven. Wooddale has a excellent RB, who leads the metro area with around 170yds a game. Arlington has it's hands full with him and the rest of their talented team. I think this will be a game of some back and forth... Arlington in a thriller.

Excellent points and post. I believe that some have took what I said about "advantage", as me saying it is "only" reason the middle has won 33 of 46 or whatever. I DO NOT think that, nor am I or have I said that. I simply, in the very beginning(page4) of this crazy thread said, "middle" had an advantages and listed them. All the rest, has been dodging rocks from rabid fans. Goodluck you as well.

It would depend on the house rules for the game you're playing (split & surrender rules for BJ, odds limits for craps) along with any odds shifting (card counting) you can do. I was givimg basic advice, a person card counting well that is a different story. "I bet you won't agree with me", either.

Goodluck to all teams.

Posted the page before by me: "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here we go with the middle TN booster club. Squirrel..really..that tired analogy? A blessed day...how can you, in the same post be so arrogant and dismissive...is this a blessing too you. What a contrast? Wait, wait, I will save you the "because I typed it post". Whatever. The system is skewed to the advantage of the middle. Any reseasonable person can admit that. This not the only reason, and certainly NOT the biggest reason, but a contributing factor to the title streak. Why is it so hard for middle TN fans to admit? Again this why I say it is skewed: 1)The most schools are in middle TN. 2)50%+ of the teams in the playoffs 3)Middle in the East and West bracket(old system) and in 2 of 4 quads (new system) 4)East has to eliminate to 1 to advance to semis in both systems 5)West has to eliminate to 1 to advance to semis in both systems As I posted a hundred posts ago, it is amazing the middle hasn't won them all, because on top of this advantage, they have great programs. " Good luck.

Math teacher, ok. Well, I guess that makes you right. Funny, how just like everything else you say, it is because you say so. Professor of probability using wiki...just kidding slow down.. The lottery reference was for "the whole drama of it all". Poker is the best game in the house, I KNOW this. Then the pass line..oh well. I'm going to stand by what I have already said and I think everyone can come to their own conclusion. Your views, seem just a little biased to be taken for face value.

5A - Quad 4 Ridgeway over East ... 42 - 7 Mitchell over Hardin County ... 31 - 14 Craigmont over Dyer Co. ... 48 - 14 to Mr. Craft Jackson over Melrose... 21-14 6A - Quad 4 Whitehaven over White Station ... 28 - 27 Arlington over Wooddale .... Wooddale is a good team, but I say Arlington. KWC is not always right.. Dickson County over Collierville ... 35 - 21... will be closer than the score Brighton over G'town... 24 - 21 this is tough one, two good teams. could go either way. Div. II Briarcrest over McCallie ... 28 - 21 St. Benedict over BGA ... 17 - 14 KWC, I want to thank you for posting this every week. Goodluck.

Yep, #36 is the real deal. Big, strong and fast. That pass was perfect, and I agree it would have been a TD as well. I think Arlington will see some wildcat this week from Woodale, probably more than they will like. They have a super star back as well, it will be a big challenge...no doubt.

Oh well, I tried. No one can contradict any of the middle TN posters on this website, it is really a shame too. I think all of us would enjoy good objective football conversation, without all of the "hype and cuts". Reading this board, will give you a good indication as to why good sportsmanship is a constant battle in youth sports. Good luck to you.
