SC had some players - #6 and #21 just to name two. But the score is closer than the game actually was. SC had 10 guys in the box and Beech still was picking up chunks of yards. It's like SC won by just scoring a ton of points and no defense this year. Hats off to the Eagles for fighting back after the half, they were a dangerous team offensively. SC looks to have a solid team for at least another 2 years. I hope both teams came out injury free.

42-41 in double overtime

Looks like I'll be hitting up Legends then. If the Bucs can hold onto the ball and make SC punt twice (or 2 turnovers) I think Beech wins comfortably. But I do feel this will be a high scoring game. I hope both teams stay injury free and go Bucs!

Does the famed catfish house still serve in Shelbyville theses days? Been a long time since I've been to the walking horse capital.

I agree the game will be close. But I'm not sure either team will stop each other, that's why I feel it will be more like 42-40 or 35-34. But BHS will most definitely do all they can to keep SCHS offense on the sidelines.

TSSAA gets most of the gate anyway. I think it's a good move, gets some exposure to Shelbyville Central and their program.

I'm not trying to be a smart butt, but why don't you call Beech High and ask for the field house number. Or look on the beech high main page and get it from there. Again not trying to be a stick in the mud, just thought that would be the easiest way.

Wow 6'3 205. He's a load. We better tackle well.

Can anyone give any insight on shelbyville? All us folks north of Nashville don't get down south too often. Based on their schedule and scores it looks as if Defense is optional. It looks like they can put up some points though. Any Eagles fans?

Is there any scenario that gallatin can get in with a loss? Just trying to figure all the avenues.

The Burros will be quite motivated to win this one. That may be the difference. But if the Bucs get to chewing up clock and yards..... Should be a great game either way. Good luck to both teams and I hope everyone stays healthy.

If we were still on the Z plan - 5 maybe 6 teams make it from this region.

That's quite a long post. I'm glad I was able to get the conversation going. But you do realize as far as the semis go someone from West TN almost had to make it. That's how the brackets set up. And to my point most of the time West TN teams loose in the semis, it's the whole point I'm trying to make. I think you missunderstood my original argument which was when it comes to the championship games most of the time it is Middle and East teams, I'm not saying West TN teams suck. There are obviously good teams. I am a Beech fan. Beech has been very fortunate to win 2 gold balls. I watched them play Mitchell in 09 and Jackson NS in 12. Mitchell had the best skill guys we saw that year, but to Eers point their front line was one of the worst. Mitchell was a better team, but Beech had played better teams overall and escaped with a win. NS was a whole different ball game. They were the weakest team we played in the playoffs, I was shocked they were undefeated up to that point - which is one of the biggest reasons I feel the way I do. All I'm saying is there are more quality teams in Middle TN and they are much more tested come playoff and championship time. Unless West can win at 3A and up on a consistent basis I won't feel any different. They have shots at 2A and 1A. It's possible Haven or Cordova can make it to Maryville or Oakland, but I just can't imagine they would win - but in the game of football anything can happen....we will see how it shakes out.

I agree with a lot your saying. But my original argument was that Middle and East overall have more better programs. It doesn't mean that there are not good teams or programs in West TN. Haven, station, Milan, Henry just to name a few. Back in the day those teams plus Humbolt, Bartlett, central-merry, Bruceton HR, Lake Co, Gtown, etc..... All I'm trying to say is football is better in Middle and East. It maybe because there are more teams, it maybe because those schools have a better football culture, it maybe because there are more reporters to get the word out, it maybe..... Are there great teams in every grand division, absolutely. Can a team from West beat a team from Mid or East? Absolutely, happens every year. But overall, in most cases, the middle And East teams come out on the winning side. One point I want to make is nobody has mentioned that in 5A there are hardly any teams in West Tn. Not a whole lot in 6A either..... just a thought

Not guessing. I looked up top schools from each grand division in the state in the last 10 years. Ridgeway and Milan were the only consistent winners during that stretch. That's 2 schools. Don't talk about diluted areas. Murfreesboro and Williamson county have become very diluted, but have a consistent winner(s). Knox county is growing rapidly as well. 2A or 3A is the only classifications that West has a shot at, consistently. Usually I take everyone's opinion and move on because everyone has that right. But with this argument all you have to do is look at deep playoff runs and championship over the last decade. I've said my piece and you have a right to say yours, but the facts don't lie. I mean no disrespect and I hope everyone has safe travels the rest of the year.
