From Region 3-4, I would look for Cookeville and Blackman as the favorites to reach state, with Cleveland right there in the mix. Blackman has stayed healthy for the most part this season, getting their keeper back recently. They went undefeated in D7AAA this year, but the district was the weakest its been in some years. Smyrna and Lavergne who were recently realigned had good seasons in their new district 9.
From Region 5-6, I would bet on Station Camp emerging to state with any number of other teams possibly earning their ticket. This region is always tough...Franklin, Brentwood, Overton, Hendersonville, and perhaps Smyrna.
