Not too familiar with East teams but West has been rolling all year. They have to be favored big but a upset is possible in a crazy 2020. Until someone beats the Knoxville teams I’m going to have to favor them. I see them facing off with Central again. 

There’s a reason Beech typically makes a long postseason run each year. They can flat run the ball. A Beech/HC semi would be a must see. 
 

I like HC here by 21 plus. Don’t see them coming closing to losing till semis. 

I typically never doubt Beech in the playoffs but I’m going Hillsboro this week. In their 2nd game of the year Hillsboro lost 14-7. Now I didn’t see that game so have no idea what happened. Also played an always talented and physical Pearl close and beat Cane Ridge. Year in and year out Beech is always contending for a state championship but 2020 has been a weird year. 

Wow! If this turns out to be true it's a huge disappointment for both teams. In my opinion, Shelbyville was a sleeper in the West. But it's pretty much what the TSSAA has done in the past. So I'm not surprised

As of tonight, I am officially retiring from the CoachT message boards. I will no longer be supporting TSSAA athletics in any capacity. I’m out! All the best to each of you and God Bless.

Why?

Portland is looking for a new coach. They let Cavanaugh go yesterday 

Wow. Been tough there for years and now they'll move up in classifications. Don't expect them to compete anytime soon. Do they need to change in culture, lack of athletes, combination of both or something different? I'd love to see them successful once again

Summit is in trouble since they haven't played in so long. Game shape is a big factor and so is playing against tough competition. Luckily for them they should have an easier first couple of rounds but I could see and upset because of the rust

Just heard their game got canceled.  Anyone else hear this. 

Who canceled? This could have playoff implications as Lincoln is fighting for the 4th seed.

Maybe I'm really lost. I have not heard of the health department viewing videos to tell who has to be quarantined. When did this start?

They’re reviewing videos from the cafeteria and other places where cameras are available and contact tracing. I have a nephew in middle school that was traced in the cafeteria line. It’s unreal

Wow feel terrible for these players, coaches, and the community. Incredible year then to have this happen is an embarrassment

Great minds think alike! This year shapes up VERY favorably for Henry County and not many people have caught on to that. Of course our coaches and players learned a valuable lesson last year and I dont see that same scenario happening again this year. If we take care of business 2nd and 3rd round (which we should) there SHOULD be a semifinal game in Henry County and you have got to like the odds of having the chance of winning that game whoever it is. Any way I'm just throwing out there what I see happening. With the way we have been playing lately I think we have potential to shock a lot of people and possibly make it to Cookeville THIS YEAR! You heard it from me right here right now!!! 

I wouldn’t be shocked at all if HC made it.  They've played a tough schedule and destroyed everyone in your region. Believe it comes down to a rematch with Beech to represent the West. 

Really interested in this game. Let’s see if MJ can stop the Commandos run game. Not sure they’ll be able to and Hendersonville gets the win. Expect a physical game

Agree that the 3 best teams out west are Beech, HC, and Summit. With Shelbyville and Hillsboro right behind them. I think Beech and HC are the clear favorites  then it's the other 3. Hopefully all 5 teams are healthy and we'll get some tremendous playoff games. But Knox teams have to be the favorites until someone out west beats them. 

Really is a shame this happened. I know emotions are high but the coach's have to provide guidance and teach players to keep their emotions under control. A mad/angry player isn't going to perform. Fundamentals fly out the window at that point and they only hurt the team by not playing within the scheme. 

I'd love for Tullahoma to move up. It would make sense travel and opponent wise. I believe they would have won the region this year. They beat Shelbyville, I know it was early but think they would again. And they also beat Summit with or without the RB/LB. 

Nolensville and Page would be my top 2 picks in the new region. Lincoln with Webb will have some say as well but they have to get better defensively. I believe FC will take a step next year. Columbia has too much talent not to complete but they need to find an identity on offense

Wow. There's so much potential there. I can't believe that staff has lost this team. Happened so quickly. How? 

They really have especially replacing that many starters. They do really good job up in Rudderville and the kids play hard. I believe they can be contenders next year in 5A. 

Can't wait for this game. Playoff atmosphere and got to go with the experience of the Jackets here as they pull out a win in a highly contested game

Congrats on the win Milan! Man I know I'm looking way ahead but Milan and Pearl playing for a chance to play Alcoa will be a must see.

Nice win by the Wildcats. They've got a special team this year and Coach Olive and staff have them playing at a high level. I belive it all starts up front for them. They're nasty up front and #2 and #4 are special.  Can't wait to watch them make a deep run in the playoffs 

Pearl is so good. Great talent, coaching and scheme. Expect to see them playing Alcoa once again. Even they've played only a few games they seem to be a well oiled machine 

Congrats OR! Had to be an outstanding game. OR has become a big player out East

Riverdale front is special but WC can make some noise in the playoffs. I'm definitely pulling for them

Not surprised at all. Henry County has to be the favorite coming out of the West. With Beech and Summit not far behind. I know Beech beat them early but think HC has gotten things figured out. Shelbyville is a sleeper along with Hillsboro to represent the West as well.
