kinda sounds like North South to me

Betsy doesn't get to play too many mid-state teams. Nolensvile, Haywood, Springfield come to mind.

Yep, its Tullahomas year

Elizabethton, Gatlinburg Pittman, McMinn C, Upperman, East Nash, CPA, Westview, Haywood

No question about it AA Ms. Basketball Kayla Marosites of Elizabethton. MVP of last years state tourney has led her team to 25-0 record AP #1 all seasonHer only competition is from her sister Kelsi

You used the R word

All this chatter about Sullivan South's seeding is dependent first dependent on SS. To get to 10-0 they must win in week 10 which may not be an easy task. Both Elizabethton and Sull South have sailed thru District 1-AA - South 5-0 237 to 14; Elizabethton 5-0 230 to 31 (draw).They had two common opponents: TennHi- Sullivan South won 38-35 Betsy 35-0 and D. Boone SS won 42-14 and betsy 35-0 (draw). Non-common opponents SS beat Gate City VA (5-4) 40-7 and Cherokee (4-5) 38-35 While Betsy beat D. Crockett (5-4)52-0 and lost to Science Hill (7-2) 35-40. (draw?) Last year Betsy won 21-7.This should be a great match up Friday night.

look for a high scoring team in the area who consistantly go for 2.

49-10. Our coach will allow 2nd and 3rd string to play. Then we will just run the ball, nothing special. Why, because we don't have to score 74 to prove a point!

You mean we won't rest Lingerfelt's leg and go for 2? If the shoe fits wear it!

Gerry, I think you have the 8 teams who will end up in quad 1. I doubt that Unicoi Co and Clayborn will get in with 4 wins. #1&2 will be Greeneville and Fulton. #3-6 are up for grabs depending on the outcome of Knox Catholic in the final two weeks with games with Knox Webb and Alcoa. They could be a 9-1 #1 district 4 winner or a #2 at either 8-2 or 7-3. The Elizabethton/Sullivan South winner could be the #3 or #4 seed dependent on Alcoa and the loser somewhere #4-#6 as a #2 seed. The Betsy/South game in week 10 should be interesting as both have run all over the other district teams and their common opponents (5a Tennessee Hi and Daniel Boone). They are only seperated by Betsy's Loss to 6A Science Hill in a 0 week contest. this should be the game of the week in upper East Tennessee. #7 should be Grainger (2nd place Dist 2) and #8 Scott co (wildcard from Dist 4). This is a one heck of a quad.

How about a % that Knox Catholic will also end up in quad 1

Raider Dad - Johnson Co, like all of us needs the $$. I feel sure that the Cyclone Nation, students, band parents, football parents and those of us called the "Old F**** will make the drive around Watauga Lake to see the fall leaves on the way.

Gerry,

First, let me say that you are the guru of AA football in the state. Your knowledge of the playoff system and the teams and standings statewide is second to none. I personally have difficulty keeping up with the districts in my area of the state. I see that your updates this year are a replication of what the TSSAA will put out on Tuesday. If that is your purpose fine, you beat the TSSAA every time and CoachT members all know that at the conclusion of week 10 you will have the accurate brackets hours before the TSSAA releases theirs which will surely have errors (witness the Sullivan South disgrace last year) . What I would really like to see from you is your prediction of how it will all shake out.

I agree with wardawg2038. I woud see the final in quad 1 as:

1. Greeneville

2. Fulton

3. Elizabethton/South winner

4. Carter

5. Elizabethton/South loser

6/ Knox Catholic

7. Grainger/Claiborn winner

8. Scott

Who needs them when you have me? 

Thats what I thought. The fans are able to find their errors. The T$$AA have managed to mess them up every year.

Is there some reason that the T$$AA is not posting a link on their web site to the weekly updates? In past years it has allways been posted but I have not seen it this year. I found it last week from a posting on this web site.

Jhits -- wrong teams are seeded first as district winners, second as district runners-ups, and third as wild card. within those groups the tie breaking proceedure will be used. ( http://tssaa.org/divisiononefootballplayoffs/ )

2nd those crazy maps show Scott west of Knox Catholic who is placed in Quad 2.

third you are right crazy things happen when you deal with the T$$AA

ok viking 2004 .  . you lost to both Betsy and South by 10 and 22. Who do you think will win Dist 1 and who will be the runner-up? 

Richard Hyder - asst for Len Dugger EHS Girls

Gee, you really put a lot of thought into this. At the time of the district and regional tournaments most colleges and university teams are still playing or are in their oun tournaments. Scheduling would be a nightmare and I doubt if any coach would consent to give up his gym during this period.

lawnman,

My VLT TV (Knoxville channel 8) will be carrying the game live on friday. They normally will have an internet feed Pilot (as in the oil co.) Playoff Friday, If you look around their website you should be able to pick it up. http://www.local8now.com/home

After all this talk about the complicated passing game of CAK's let me give you a reminder that Whitten played wide receiver up in Blaksburg and was a grad assistent at UT so I would suspect that he has seen a few passing attacks himself. Also he has been known to play a little Beamer ball. Whether or not our DB's can cover the field and execute the defensive plan is the question.

Dad

Will that live coverage be on the internet also? If so what is the URL?

Great football game!!! Both teams left it all on the field. Great fans on both sides. Too bad someone had to loose. The 4 T's (Turner, Thomas, Thompson #1 and Thompson #2) Bailey and Rowe all lived up to expectations. Dad - glad you did wake him up - He put on a great show.

Dad,

Don't wake him up. He's in for a long night tonight. He'll have nightmares of #40 & 67

Yes #7 Terrance Turner will have an outstanding game and outgain all backs in this one.
