Thoughts on what this year should look like? Jackson will be in year 3 at the helm. Foster will be a Jr and be under center for year #2 I would say Tigers are pre season favorites to win the region but the Bulldogs from Celina might have something to say about that Opinions?

Cmon Pirate. You know that’s not true. Don’t want to take anything away from OZ or any other team for that matter. But you guys will always be the front runner until proven otherwise

It’s happened before

Merry Christmas everybody! The greatest gift ever given was salvation through the blood of Jesus. Don’t forget the reason for the season. God sure has blessed this old man and I hope the same for all of you

Anyone in the East other than you guys. You guys were far more talented than any team on our schedule. Chatt Prep was probably #2

Not sure about the west. But the usual suspects are who you can expect from the East. The road will go through South Pittsburg. After that, it will be Gordonsville, Clay Co, Whitwell, Coalfield, and Oliver Springs battling to try and knock SP off. The Dark Horse in the East I think will be Chatt Prep. I was impressed with their athleticism in Round 1. They gave us all we could handle that night. If they can get a good idea of what they are trying to do with the X’s and O’s I think they can probably have the best chance to give SP a real shot. They will be able to match up athletically better than anyone imo

2013-2017 I would hardly call subpar 13-1 in 2013 7-5 in 2014 after losing a huge class from the ‘13 squad 9-3 in 2015 with another district title 4-7 in 2016. Subpar I will agree 6-5 in 2017. Par Upperman had consistently subpar season before 2013. That 2013 team got it turned around and Upperman has taken it a step further under Caine

Gordonsville should be better. Lost a huge senior class from the 2022 squad so this year had a lot of new faces. New kids got some experience playing meaningful snaps this year. Only losing 8 seniors I believe and gaining a good group of 8th graders

Nope. Won in 96 and 97 lol https://tssaasports.com/school/?id=397&sportid=1

Correct. Plays the game like a warrior though. Put the offense completely on his back and brought you guys through when Wellington went down. Heck of an effort by that young man

Congrats SP! Happy for your boys. Farrior is a warrior. Praying for Wellington. I hope he wasn’t banged up too bad and can recover quick I expect to see you guys again next year! Maybe this time at our place

Hey @Southtowner, is it too late to change my score prediction to SP and McKenzie? I will go with 2-0 SP

Good luck to both teams in this one. I’m the most excited to see this game than any other this weekend. I watched some of Upperman’s game against Greeneville on UCR and was very impressed with their big guys up front. PC speed may give them trouble but if they can keep things bottled up between the tackles, the Bees will be a tough out. I have to root for an Upper Cumberland team but my gut says PC by a few scores. I hope I’m wrong though GO BEES

Wish my Tigers were making the trip to Chatt. Maybe someday we will be one of the last 2 standing again Good luck to all teams! I hope every kid can stay injury free and play to the best of their ability. Safe travels to all that are making the trip
