Going to go with Monterey 14-13. Mason Bowman will have a big night for the Wildcats.

Same thing I said in the South Pitt - Oakland thread, this one will be a route. Oak Ridge by a lot.

ER 21, TC 14

I have. Why is that? Isn't CoachT from Lawrence County (which is several counties away from Oliver Springs)?

Absolutely not. Its not fair to the kids that are moving up as underclassmen to become upperclassmen. Letting people come back creates a bottleneck with your new players. They would be taking someone's playing time. It doesn't matter what you do in this situation, someone gets screwed. It sucks no doubt, but kids need to learn that life isn't fair, and sometimes you just have to make the best of a bad situation.

Tigers win this one 28-14 (the purple ones not blue).

That would be crazy. Unless they are all playing Livingston Academy (who plays their home games at TTU) or Cookeville this year, getting to Cookeville would not be football related. Getting to Chattanooga on the other hand, would be very impressive.

No one with South Pitt's history goes into a game believing they have no chance. I guarantee that Jones man is going to prepare (in due time) to win. You think I'm joking but I'm not.

That's strange considering Peabody played their girls' basketball team in the State tournament last year.

I believe Monterey is going to be in the conversation before years end as a top 10 team. Mason Bowman is a great back and they could challenge for the region 2AA title.

Clay County is at 165? That puts them at #9 and bumps out Cornersville from your list (interestingly enough, these two play in a few weeks at Cornersville.

I agree. There are a lot of good teams in Class A, but only three right now who have a realistic shot at playing in Chattanooga in December. Whoever comes out of Region 1/2 could make it interesting for South Pitt since they would host. As for the West, Fayetteville deserves every bit of respect as the defending champions and would be hosts of the semifinals, but Peabody will certainly be an uphill battle for anyone. Whichever team makes it to December will certainly have earned it.

How does Whitwell get two votes after getting beat 0-35 against a Cumberland County team that had not won an on field contest since Obama was president. I know Cumberland County is 4A, but Class A Clay County has ran all over them the last two years (and they weren't considered by the polls either of those years), one of those being a 29-0 shutout at Cumberland County.

I would personally love to see Alcoa face Oakland (at a neutral site like TTU). That would be a slugfest to see to who is likely the top public school in TN.

Jets 21-14

I was referring to all sports in general. Football may be nicer, but CHS has a bad setup for their gym. Everyone I know hates those stupid spiral staircases to the top level.

I disagree with facilities overall. Upperman has some pretty good facilities. I personally think Cookeville has the worst facilities in the county now that Monterey has their new (and longer overdue) school.

This game reminds me of the time when Oakland played Republic a few years ago and won like 70-6, probably playing their freshmen 90% of the game. Should be a similar game.

Final prediction Smith County 0 Gordonsville 14

Can the Pirates avoid a running clock against the mighty Patriots? Or can of the top 25 teams in lowly Class A make this one interesting?

True. as I forgot Meigs was now region 3, not 2.

I know a lot of athletes just prefer going to Upperman instead of Cookeville, just because of the school itself academically, not just athletically. Cookeville is the sixth largest school in TN.

I think Watertown will beat Trousdale for the fourth year in a row to win the region, then TC will avenge the loss again in round 3, but fall to eventual champion Meigs County in the semifinals yet again.
