Upset yes but not the biggest, Bentwood was upset 28-26 in the State Final by Marion County in 1992.  MC trailed the whole game but tied it late and went ahead on a pick 6 and 2 point conversion. BA scored but failed on the 2pt conversion in attempt to tie it up. Later BA also missed on long a field goal for the win.

After the game BA coaches and players were so distraught that they did not come out to accept the silver ball.  Before the Game NOBODY gave MC a chance, some optimists thought they could keep a three of four TD game.

your right about it not being THE biggest, but I think it is still one of the biggest. That game in 92 does sound like more of an upset

BA was "nationally ranked" that year?   WHEN?  Preseason?  They lost their 2nd game to Ravenwood and ended up losing 5 games.....

they were ether nationally ranked or were considered a national/southeast USA powerhouse. Pretty sure they were ranked but I'm not 100 percent

Brentwood Academy went 8-5 that year, so I would not characterize it as "one of the greatest upsets in state history".....

BA still went to the d2 finals that year and RHS was knocked out in round one and fished 4th in a strong region but still 4th. The eagles were nationally ranked and Ravenwood was coming off a losing season and had lost one week earlier to good pasture, a strong 2a team but still a 2a team. The raptors had played GHS on a Thursday so I wonder if that extra day to prepare meant something.

Definitely Brentwood. Yes they lost 7 games, but check out the records of the teams they lost to:

1. CPA (10-0)-only lost by 3

2. Blackman (9-1, lost only to Oakland)

3. Centennial (5-5)

4. Oakland (10-0)

5. Franklin (8-2)- only lost by 3

6. Ravenwood (9-1, lost only to undefeated Overton)

7. Indy (7-3)

 

Combined: (58-12) Throw out Centennial and it's (53-7). That's pretty ridiculous, and it's even more ridiculous when you realize that Brentwood was in every one of those games except the Oakland game. I attended every one of those games and I left the CPA, Centennial, Franklin, and Ravenwood games scratching my head thinking "Brentwood should have won that game". If one or two plays had gone differently in those games, Brentwood could very well be sitting at 9-1 or 8-2 heading into the playoffs. But, unfortunately that's just how it goes sometimes. Oh well, better luck next year Bruins!

well said mr. Maher

It is 2013. I'm gonna post in this topic so we can get this discussion restarted. What do you remember from one of the greatest upsets in state history? What a game this was more than five long years ago. Enjoy

The records would lead you to believe that Ravenwood has this one but Cane Ridge has come on strong after loosing their first four to win out with a couple of quality wins.  The big surprise was win they destroyed Riverdale.  That tells me they can compete with Ravenwood and they might pull this one off.

this should be a good game

Brentwood (Lost to Blackman by only nine, Franklin by 3, and Ravenwood by 1)

Don't forget the rest of ruthorford county

Thoughts?

Now did Ensworth truly get outplayed by BA or did they just rest their starters knowing that the #1 seed was locked up.

Great Balance

I wonder what taco through of last night?

Ton of action last Friday. Do you still think the district is the same as it was a few weeks ago?

Lets get this topic restarted. I wanna hear your opinions.

How does this go down?

I'm looking for a tournament schedule please. I know your busy, I just want to know what time to come over. Thanks!

Where's Ravenwood on this list? I know you said that it would be all teams in the playoffs but there is now way Franklin is going to the playoffs.
