Excited for all 3 games on Thursday! Mr Football finalist in all three games , LA /CPA has all 3 in the game , DCA / NC 2 of 3 finalist. McCallie has Riddle playing in third game. 70 DEGREES!

LA by three scores

Why would Div II not play weekend before rather than taking a bye week. Thursday games not nearly as convenient for parents, schools,& players. I'd rather spend Black Friday watching HS football. The argument about Thanksgiving doesn't hold water. I'm sure all these teams players are staying in town bc they have practice Thanksgiving day at some point. Win or lose going back to school on Friday for these kids would be tough.

Repeat CPA - LA

Load the box! Stop the run.

I agree wish this game was for the gold ball bigger stage ! DCA has already defeated the other two teams in other bracket . USJ O line opens lanes whether its Steele or backups.

Nashville Christian beat Davidson 42-27 this season at Davidson , I don't see this being a close game.

Can Kings and USJ have any possibility of being a good game ? I believe the other three games will be close.

I would have to believe putting stats out is huge for the people voting. No way writers and coaches have time to evaluate at least 50 kids nominated State wide w/o clicking on Rivals to see how they stack up. Also don't understand why they don't vote on the semifinalist till after playoffs are over. I hope your son has a great playoff run and shows them they missed on him.

I agree 100%

With 45 kids nominated all over the state I'd say stats , wins/loses, exposure but I'm guessing.

Is it already decided or do playoff performances matter for the semifinalist?

Coach T , is Mr Football already decided before playoffs start?

Div II A -Ashton Jones DCA RB 1628 Total yards 1327 rushing / 301 receiving 22 TD’s

DCA's are posted in the Tennessean. Schools are responsible for posting stats if they desire.

How is the game being broadcast? Unbelievable LA has nearly 120 kids on roster and Oakland 70 plus.

TV COVERAGE?

Credit to both programs for making this game happen ! This brings the excitement High School football is about.

This may be High School game of the year! I think Jordan James shows you why he's the elite back in TN.

I believe NC beats BGA this weekend showing a strong A Division

I know its early but what will format be with new divisions?

Cut divisions way to many , A ,AA , AAA . 3 state champs old school!

Is it a forfeit?

I thinks its great these 2 teams step up and play each other on short notice . The upper teams in DIVII A and AA should play some bigger opponents above them . In this case you get a great ball game!

I agree big win NC playing a tough schedule will help them in playoffs. Coach Jeff Brothers one of the best , his teams get better by year end every year.
