Hard to see Brentwood winning this one but closer than the first game. Oakland overlooks them early after crushing them on short notice in the regular season and coming off the big win over Maryville. Patriots pull away late. Oakland 35 Brentwood 21

Love to see the Tigers win but the Pirates will be too much. Pirates 35 Tigers 14

Going to be a great game. I believe it will be the closest game of the weekend. Two well coached and disciplined teams that play hard. Special teams will be the difference. It will be hard to stop the Summit QB but until someone beats the any of the 5a Knoxville area teams I’ll go with the Wildcats. Being a Midstate guy this prediction hurts. 
Oak Ridge 21 Summit 20. 

Believe losing their best player so early hurt Nolensville mentally and they never recovered. Plus Betsy was the better team. Coach Derrick and staff will have them ready to play and you'll get the best Nolensville has to offer unfortunately I don't believe it will be enough for them to win.

My thoughts exactly. There is however a lot of people that don't believe HC can win this game. I kinda like the underdog role. 

I don't think HC is the underdog at all. Seems split as it should be. The Big Ones poll is 52% Summit right now. I believe if these teams played 10 times they'd both win 5 each. 

I believe Summit will have the best player on the field but HC has the more complete team overall.

As always a great matchup here. Every year I think Oakland will win and we all know how that's turned out.  Might as well stay consistent. Oakland by a score.

It will be amazing. Summit has some ballers for sure. If anybody can beat Summit I truly believe this Henry County team can. I don't think Wade will run around freely like he did against Beech. Time will tell i guess.

 HC is the favorite here and it will be rocking. I expect the whole town to be there. I’ve watched Summit and HC once each this year and feel they’re evenly matched. But HC at home is just a different animal 

This game and atmosphere will be electric. Even though I have no dog in the fight, I might have to try and make this one. Hard to predict this one, it’s a toss up but HC is at home. 

Apparently one didn’t play tonight. 

Now I know nothing about Stewart County but their amazing year comes to an end Friday. Maybe they’ll hang for a while but not 4 quarters. I believe Pearl will dominant this game up front. Plus their speed and the fact they’re extremely well coached will be too much for Stewart County overcome. Pearl by 28+

Love playoff football. Believe the Wildcats will prove to be too explosive and control to LOS. Win the game in the 4th and move on to the semis.

Facts. Our side of the bracket needs to make sure they bring home the gold ball. Whoever it is.

Couldn't agree more 

Beech, HC, and Summit are all strong. Beech and HC have to be the favorites but If Summit has both twins then watch out. If the twins don't play I like Beech and HC. 

You play who you play. Who cares if your road is easy or difficult. You can only play the teams in front of you. Besides it doesn't matter until someone beats the Knoxville teams. They've owned 5A these last few years

I'll never doubt Beech again. They put it to Hillsboro. Even though I didn't see the game, Director hit it on the head and said the more disciplined team would win. Beech and HC are always here for a reason. I expect a close game with Beech coming out on top.  The last 2 times these teams have played it's been close and come down to the last drive. Beech 28 Summit 21

it’s is at Beech. And i don’t know why that makes a difference. the FNR guys need to get over themselves

So true. This game has the potential to be awesome. 

Director was right. The more disciplined team won. Didn't get to see the game but it wasn't even close. Congrats to Beech and can't wait for next week's game. I couldn't have been more wrong in this one. Beech is always a tough out and expect a great game from Beech vs Summit. 

Oakland big. MJ has struggled on offense and Oakland always plays good defense. Too many athletes for MJ

Pearl all day. They're in East's head. Plus they're pretty physical, athletic, and we'll coached. 

Don't know what to make of this game. Nolensville has been up and down but it's playoff time so I'm going with them getting the win on the road. 

This will be a great game like in years past. Pulling for Springfield to get the win and believe they win another classic. 

Might be the best game in the Midstate tomorrow night. Think MC keeps it closer this time but Tullahoma is too explosive. Wildcats move on

Riverdale d-line dominates this game. Controls the Hendersonville run game and moves on. 

Central is the champs for a reason. Defense wins games in the playoffs. Believe they get it done
