  1. Central runs a spread offense. They throw and run. They have a few good WRs with speed. 1 of them is real tall. 1 is short but he can fly. Big OL and a good RB. The QB is a 9th grader but he has played all year. I’ve seen them play 2 times this year. They score on defense a lot. Fumbles and interceptions. They are big and fast on defense and will blitz a lot. They create a lot of big plays on defense that way. this is the best season they’ve had in a long time and their players don’t have any playoff experience so they may be nervous to start the game. They finished tied for 1st in the region. They beat Red Bank and lost to East Hamilton. It’s a tough round 1 matchup for Macon. If you guys can handle the blitz and run the ball then you can win. You have to handle their speed on offense but the defense is how they win. I think Central wins but I agree this is a toss up. Macon could come out and run the ball and win easily. You never know how kids will react to the playoffs when they haven’t been there. Good luck. Playoffs are always fun.
  2. I should say this about Central’s defense. They are big and fast and blitz a lot. If you guys handle the blitz, you’ll win. If not, they just keep blitzing. They live and die on being more athletic than you. With your Wing T, if you can block them and get a couple of running lanes you’ll do well. My prediction Upperman beats Soddy Red Bank beats Dekalb/Stone East Hamilton beats Dekalb/Stone The Central/Macon game is a toss up just looking at records. Macon was rolling along but seemed to have lost some speed of late. If I had to make a prediction on that one I’d say Central given my Chattanooga bias but Macon could come out and hammer them.
  3. A lot of Wing T down here. Doesn’t mean good Wing T. Upperman will have to play East Hamilton in round 2. They may win but they won’t roll into the quarters. Upperman played at Chatt area school last week in Walker Valley. They won 28-14. I don’t know the details of that game but Red Bank and East Hamilton would beat Walker Valley. Chattanooga Central may beat them but I’m not sure. I know Fayetteville beat Upperman and got shutout by Red Bank. Chatt Central beat Red Bank so take that for whatever it is worth. Chattanooga Central will challenge Macon’s secondary. They have 1 very big WR who is very good and another kid who is very fast. If you win that game, Red Bank has a D1 WR and dual threat QB so your secondary may not be as safe as you think. Red Bank lives running off tackle. Their backs are small but fast and do well in space. If you can bottle them up and stop the QB run, you’ve got a chance. Their defense is big and fast. They’ve played Rhea County who runs a good Wing T offense. They lost that game so maybe that is the blueprint in round 2 for Macon. East Hamilton has a 3-4 big WRs. Like 6’3+. 2 of them are fast. The TE is big but not as fast. They have a good RB and a QB that can throw. They are pretty balanced. Their defense is suspect but they have 1 very good DL and a good secondary.
  4. It happens Yeti. Better to win ugly then not win at all.
  5. Soddy won’t give you guys problem with speed. East Hamilton in round two will challenge your speed and they can run and throw. Red Bank in round 3 is the most athletic of all but they run the ball better then pass. You may be able to out muscle these teams though. Not a ton of size in Chattanooga outside of the private schools.
  6. This should be a great game. I would have thought Meigs all the way but the Tyner game has me scratching my head about this one.
  7. The Chattanooga region is Red Bank, Central, East Hamilton and then everybody else. There is a huge gap between 3-4. But #3 could have won the region. you guys will play Soddy. East Ridge is really young this year and will not beat them. You guys will have to adjust to the speed. Those top 3 teams have guys that can run. They have some size but more speed than size.
  8. There aren’t a lot of Chattanooga posters on here but I follow the boards. Not a lot of info on the Chatt teams. I’ll provide some for Region 4 folks. Upperman vs Soddy: Soddy is well coached. They run a spread offense and throw it around. Don’t know about their defense but the QB is pretty good. Upperman should be able to win this one pretty easily. Macon vs Chattanooga Central: Upset alert. Central is fast and athletic. There was a 3 way tie for the 1st spot in the region. Central beat Red Bank who won the region. They are big and they are fast. I think Central wins this one. I don’t think Macon will be able to handle their speed. East Hamilton vs Dekalb/Stone Memorial: East Hamilton has speed to burn. They score a bunch of points. Defense is suspect but they’ve got a few big time players on that side of the ball. East Hamilton rolls either team. Red Bank vs Dekalb/Stone Memorial: The Lions are hitting their stride. One of the best coached teams in Chattanooga. They are fast and violent. The record doesn’t do them justice. Totally different team then earlier in the year. They roll whoever and move on to round 2 vs the Macon/Central winner. Lions are for real. 3rd round at least where they meet up with EH/Upperman winner.
  9. Tracey Malone is the new offensive coordinator according to his twitter. Comes back to Chatt from the Knoxville area.
  10. I got to see East Hamilton play 2 times last year. They had a big turnaround. They were 4-7 2 years ago and the new coach got that flipped to 7-4. They will continue to improve with the changes they have made. Defense has been good for the last 2 years. Offense seemed to come along last year. They had some good success in there first year going from the wing t to the spread. They'll be good with there staff if they get some more athletes over there. Don't think they beat AC. I watched AC play last year. They have alot of guys coming back. Chattanooga area doesn't have the best football top to bottom but the top teams are pretty good. Red Bank is good in 3a. Tyner is good in 2a. South Pitt is good in 1a. East Hamilton is coming along in 4a. Soddy has had some good years in 5a. Bradley Central is competitive in 6a.
  11. They had some good applicants for the job. Surprised they stayed in house with there results over the last 3 years.
  12. I'd say the Top 10 could look something like this based on last year. 1. Elizabethton-champs until proven different 2. Greeneville-always find a way to be a top team 3. Springfield-state runner up 4. Anderson County-good team, return a lot of talent and experience 5. Nolensville-final 4 team last year, newer school, won't be in 4a for long 6. Haywood-final 4 team, always a factor out west 7. Crockett County-quarters team that put up big points in the playoffs 8. Livingston Academy-11-1, great season, don't know what they return 9. Dekalb County-quarters team last season, don't know what they return 10. East Hamilton-2nd year under the new coach, turned it around last season, lost some key guys, return the qb, OL, and some skill.
  13. I’m hearing a coach on staff, an out of state coach, and some local coordinators in the Chattanooga area are the top candidates for the job.
  14. Good to see Hixson making moves to improve. Probably looking at coordinators from the Chatt/North Ga area for this job. Doubt many head coaches with a successful record want to take a rebuild.
