Bradley Central over Maryville Alcoa over Austin East Oliver Springs over Greenback Powell over Sevier County Bearden over Jefferson County Greeneville over Gibbs Knox West over Morristown West MUS over Knoxville Catholic Knox Webb over Franklin Road Academy Oak Ridge over Clinton Walker Valley over Lenior City Giles County over McMinn Central Gatlinburg Pittman over Kingston York over Oneida Coalfield over Rockwood Bledsoe County over Hampton South Pittsburg over Clay County Meigs County over Sequatchie County Macon County over Red Bank Anderson County over Elizabethton Right now this is Barney's picks for the week and I reserve the right to change any of these by Wednesday Nov. 8th at 11 p.m. since I always put these out on the same day every week. A lot of times I have changed my picks between Sunday and Wednesday over something I found out in between usually injuries. Thought I would throw this out early this week and give everyone something to chop on.

That came in so late and I killed time doing everything in the world waiting for the end and the last one to come through. It felt like an hour between 57 seconds and 13. Surley they must of ran a kickoff back or something. Every Friday Night is like that, there are 3 or 4 teams pull it out I picked in the last seconds. That Gibbs comeback was unbelievable and also the Rockwood game. McMinn Central and Jefferson County hung on and gave me a couple of seizures waiting those out. If those five didn't pull through I would have been 23-10 instead of 28-5. I wish everyone would just go down the list and put which ones they think would be different and see how they match up.

I saw the score with 57 seconds after Unicoi went ahead and said to myself , well they blew that one and a new score came up with 13 seconds and AE pulled it out. Loved to have seen that.

Could you believe how that ended. I think they even got up 21-3. That's one of those Victory grabbed out of the jaws of defeat moments as I call it.

Thanks I enjoy doing this and also enjoy others that add to it also. Last Night I was 28-5 which is 85%. It's impossible to hit 100% because to much happens behind the scenes you'll never hear about that can affect the game. There was a point at halftime last night I was thinking I may miss 12 of these this week then in the last minute teams like Rockwood, Gibbs, Austin East and McMinn Central pulled it out and Jefferson hung on also. I'll end up spending a lot of time digging on the last 10 to 12 teams til I'm satisfied and may take me right up until I post them the night before the first games on Thursday games. The biggest excitment of it is the handful that pull it out in the last minute or two and that happens every week. Glad you enjoy.

I'll try.

What a shame. Can't believe Hall's dream season is over.

I'm not a good score guesser but that's pretty impressive.

Glad we made it this far but I will have to go with Bradley on this one if they play like they did against Bearden.

I should of listened then I would have been 30-3 but I didn't and went 28-5 for 85% winning percentage. There were a couple of these games tonight that went down to the last seconds and the lead changed to my favor.

Going to be a few upsets tonight it looks like.

Time to go back down the field and get the clock running again.

Running clock, everyone can get down to the Dollar General before 9 and get some butthurt cream.

Looking at my list of Barney's Favorites, I think it's safe to put a big check by this one.

Does 21-3 change change your opinion.

I realize their trying to gear the offense to what they feel THE ONES PLAYING are capable of doing.

Go back and watch the replays of these two teams play Eagleton. I rest my case Happy Valley will win this one. Remember Barney is over 80 percent on the year and that goes a long way with the poor media coverage throughout East Tennessee and not knowing what happened in the locker room that could change a game or injuries not known about. Trust Barney.

Going to ask you something that don't have anything to do with this game but everyone of us on here from Maryville has had friendships with George Quarles and like to hear it from someone who we all respect and went to ETSU what you think of the situatiom there with him. Does he have time, is he over his head is the fans getting tired of him or whats going on. Marky Billson seems to be the biggest voice I hear ready to send the moving vans to his house everyweek on his You Tube Podcast.

It was very real to think we could go 6-4 at the beginning of the year also with all the starters we lost last year then there was a point 4-6 looked like a possibility also. After winning the Cleveland and Alcoa game the letdown against Farragut has left a lot of us totally numb inside. All I know is Eddie Courtney disected this very vanilla offensive package we're running. Why do you think the Farragut linebacker knew what was coming and slipped up there and picked that off like taking candy from a baby and almost got another one he dropped. We should win this one simply because it was one of our easiest wins during the season and if we did lose I would be even more lost for words then I am now after last Friday.

I gave Cloudland the edge being at home and Greenback having to drive a long distance. Pulling for Greenback though.

I've set there at night watching these scores come in and checking off the ones that are right and wrong. I've had nights going into the 4th quarter where 10 of my picks were down then the final comes in and they've pulled it out. It was the week I missed 2. It's fun testing myself to see just how many of these things are predictable.

Going off watching both teams against Eagleton.

Don't know what is happening but Coach T don't have it listed, that's where I get my list from but I have added it. Thanks for catching that.

What's the place used for now. Was the school there at that location also?

Thanks for the follow up. That makes a lot of sense.
