Interesting final scores from around the state. Two East TN games decided by 5 points, one game decided by 15 points, and the rest were 24 + point blowouts including 53 and 47 point margins. State Tournament will be interesting to watch.

Dyersburg beat Southside by 20+ in the HoF game. Would like to see a rematch in Murfreesboro, but not in the first round.

I don't see Dyersburg getting eliminated before the state tournament to be honest. I understand anything can happen, but as long as they make the region final, they make it to Murfreesboro.

What proponents of the voucher plan either didn't consider, or aren't acknowledging is this, private schools are going to raise tuition rates to a point where the vouchers are essentially worthless. I don't see a huge impact on players transferring from public to private schools as a result.

You got me, and you're right, I'm taking Covington. For some reason WV's mascot slipped my mind.

Dyersburg provided a solid defensive blueprint to slow the Westview attack. Covington linebackers are quicker than the Dyersburg backers, WV might have more trouble on offense. The Charger offense is much more explosive than Dyersburg's. Covington wins in a relatively close one.

Dyersburg isn't going to make any offensive adjustments. They will tweak some things defensively, but the secondary has been an issue all season. Running clock the entire second half.

Halls QB struggles beyond 15 - 20 yards downfield. To be fair, he has made some plays, but not consistently. Think this game will be reasonably close.

Game of the year in Region 7A. Winner is in the driver's seat and almost certainly sews up a first round playoff home game.

Would not be shocked if this turned into a running clock game very early in the second half, possibly on the first drive of the second half.

Westview by as many as they want.

Halls manhandled that Dresden front 7 in the second half. Dresden at best has the 3rd best front 7 in the region.

This one might be interesting. Dyersburg has struggled with quality opponents and Northside seems improved.

Every game going forward is huge. Standings might go down to week 11.

Great points. As far as the UC matchup, I think it actually works a little in Halls' favor being later in the season. UC going to the spread makes them a little less physical imo. Halls is very physical, so that game might go down to the wire either way. If Halls wins tonight, I firmly believe they host a first round playoff game.
