I’m going with the Bees tomorrow night. I think Caine finds a way to bring down the two time defending state champs. Feel like Rollins and Dedman for Upperman is going to have a big night on the ground attack.

I was mentioning the Rollins kid from Upperman lol. He’s a sophomore running back and is legit. However the Rollins kid from Elizabethtown is stud too. I’ve seen some of the stats he’s put up through looking at stats and scores in the East and he’s very impressive as well.

TC is playing some tough ball right now. I’d give the edge to TC. The Claiborne boy is a stud and gave Watertown all they wanted tonight. Good luck from ole rival MC!

Takes a lot for a backup to come in as a sophomore and get the job done. Not many can do it. Looking forward to seeing y’all represent region 4 next week! Good luck!

Listened to majority of the game through Upper Cumberland reporter. Sounded like y’all had another well-rounded game. Rollins will be a force for the next two years in Region 4 and all of 4A. It was great to hear the rushing kid step up in the spotlight and lead the team to victory. Congrats to you all, @crow6424

Feel like it’s going to be a slugfest in Watertown tonight. I’m leaning towards TC winning this one but I wouldn’t be surprised if Watertown beats TC for a second time this year and breaks the quarterfinal curse.

They ran the ball effectively. They really took advantage on 5 yard stop routes and other short screen routes. They came out with intensity and like to get set up quick in their offense. Also, some of their TD’s were big plays, but not the majority. The running back is legit too. I think if you all can have success in the passing game. I like the chances of you all winning. Because that’s what hurt us when we needed to throw it and not getting the third down stops we needed.

Red Bank is legit. Upperman will have to cut away the personal foul penalties and be able to play a complete game. Hoping to see Upperman pull out the win.

I’m over here at the local sonic getting me a large blast to enjoy for an extra few minutes lol.

Pulling for the Dawgs to pull off the upset. Clay County’s athletes I think will catch SP by surprise at first on how good they are. I think Clay will put SP on their heels for majority of the game, but the Pirates pull away in the late stages of the game. It’s always fun to see the Upper Cumberland schools have success in all sports. One of the best parts of TN to watch any high school sport.

I complete agree with you my friend. It’s going to take a lot but I feel good about it just hoping the boys go out there and have fun win or lose. Good luck over there in H20town this week!

The Stone and Red Bank score was a bit deceiving. Stone was having success moving the ball down field against the Lions. Stone had five turnovers in that game. You can’t have that and expect to stay in the game. Therefore, leading to my point, if MC can protect the ball and stop the big plays like we did against Chattanooga Central in the second half, I think this game stays close till the end. I’m very curious to see how MC plays against the adversity by having to make the 2 and a half hour road trip. Either way the game goes, it’s always a good year by having a winning season and getting a playoff win. As far as I can remember, the only teams to win in the playoffs for MC was the 03’ team, 16’ team, and this years team. I want to say maybe one of those teams in the 60s and 70s did but I can’t remember.

Thank you my friend! It won’t be easy but MC seems determined and wants to shock the state, so we will see how it plays out. Wouldn’t mind seeing Upperman vs MC again. Feel like MC would be more prepared if we were to go another time against one another.

Good luck to both teams! Should be a great game! Hoping and praying we see an all Region 4 quarterfinal matchup!

I’m going with the underdog in this one. I think Dyer puts a game plan together and the Owls pull off the upset. Should be a good game to keep an eye on. Good luck to both!

I Don’t think East Hamilton and Central thought MC and DC would put up a fight in each respective game. Both East and Central were up by two touchdowns at some point and both blew their leads.

That’s about how it is up here in Lafayette lol. But might have to try one of those restaurants and make a trip out of it! As regarding last night, I would have said previous MC teams would have been beat at halftime last night. But this team is different and never seems to give up.

Macon County is coming off a comeback win against the Purple Pounders. They will now travel to Red Bank to play a tough team who is hot at the right time. Should be a good one. Thoughts?

Any good places to stop and eat before the game? Looking forward to the trip next week. Should be a good one Central was having a lot of stuff going there way tonight. A thirty yard unsportsmanlike penalty on our coaches whenever we were just trying to argue a call. Ref said that one of our coaches used the F bomb towards him which that coach is a preacher so I highly doubt that happened lol. But MC fought hard to get back in the game. Never gave up.

Huge win for MC. Shoulders got that first playoffs win. Couldn’t be more proud of how the boys fought. On to Red Bank next week.

28-26 MC at the start of the fourth. MC was down 20-7 at halftime.

I completely agree with your statement. MC has started multiple freshmen this year as well. MC is pretty young this year as well. MC is on the rise for years to come. It should be a fun contest tomorrow night.

Exactly what I worry about to. It’s going to be all about ball control and making big plays on defense. I think MC has a little advantage in experience by being in the playoffs more often in recent years than Central but sometimes that is dangerous and fuels a team to play harder. The path to the quarters for us is going to be tough but I definitely think it’s possible with this team.

Two good teams are going to battle next week on the ridge at Pat Parker. MC finished the regular season 7-3 Central finished the season 6-2. This game could go either way. Thoughts?

Overall, I think MC got the best between the top three from region 3. Central will have a lot of speed and will test our up front with how much they blitz. I think MC will be able to adjust and scheme against their blitz. I think DC may give East Hamilton some fits and could possibly put them on upset alert. I think Red Bank beats Stone. And Upperman will win by as much as they want.
