This is an accurate take. People from other good programs can see the truth. They don't have personal grudges, whether that be because the coach sat someone's kid, or whatever reason. Grudges die hard in this county.
If you have the best defense in 2A and Watertown has the second best you should not lose to Smith County "on paper" or on the field. I know you have a great defense. Westmoreland usually does. I would take into consideration there are some good teams in West Tennessee and Tyner and Hampton are obviously pretty good as well.
What’s embarrassing about the field? A school system has the right to say what doesn’t get painted on school property. I don’t want rainbows or dogs and cats painted on our field.
I believe the H2O-Westmoreland and Trousdale-East Robertson will be proof in the puddin’ games. If East blows the doors off us I think they should get into the east bracket discussion. If either Westy or Watertown wins convincingly I think the same should be said for the winner of that one. If either is close, I think the jury is still out on our region.
