he was being jerked around by UT. That's what led to this verbal agreement.

Good job region 5! You guys were exactly what you said you were: Talented. Good luck as you guys move forward towards State.

alright chrisburr, aside from contributing nothing, what is your point? Portland will not win, they lost their starting qb. A highschool team that puts that much pressure on the qb cannot win, and they are playing Hillsboro, a team that will decidedly trounce them. Please stop the nonsense.

that's precisely how I picked it. But i'll expand. Hillsboro will tear Portland a new one. Beech will beat Tullahoma by more than 2 tds, Kenwood will as well. Whites Creek wins by 10-17 points.

Beech wins by 17+

wow...was it really 35-0, beech? Man, that was a slaughter.

Whites Creek by 14+.

chad, ricky, SHANE, and eric...i'm pretty sure he wouldn't like being called by his brothers name.

oh, Kenwood's going to beat springfield by 2 tds? You have to more specific. .

Beech will take these guys light, and still win. Game will closer than expected.

Kenwood by 14+: kenwoods defensive front 4 all have 50+ tackles, you guys will not be able to run. And our pass defense will shut down your long ball.

Of those three, hillsboro is the only team with a chance at quarterfinals, region 6 will easily run with the "powerhouse" *lol* region 5.

These games are going to be great. Kenwood is going to come out do what they know how to do, and if they play the way they've been playing these passed 6 games, they will assuredly win. Goodluck to all the teams in region 6 and 5.

losed? What about mcgavock? They've given up 100+ yards twice, and 60+ 3 times. Why wasn't Holt one of the "select" that got 100+? Well, I have faith in the Knights, they'll step up and hold him to under 100. Kenwood's had one 100 yard rusher, Travis Carter of McGavock. Kenwood can shut down the run, very well.

and kenwood will, when the time comes . Holt was STUFFED by hillsboro (not to mention only getting 67 yards vs. McGavock), i'm sure he can/will be stuffed again. If he can't get to the sideline, he can't use his speed. He will not get passed Lumpkin on the end, and Frazzitta is no chump either, he's racked up 60+ tackles this season as well.

I don't think we'll be going to maplewood. We'll end up at Whites Creek. They are a much better team than Maplewood is this year and they play eachother to close out the year.

Right, region 5 is a bit over-rated. There's no way they will sweep.

Yeah, definately a good deal of screwing up by kenwood in the 2nd half. At least kenwood settled down and didn't let it get to them. Good game guys.

It doesn't hurt anybody for a coach to chew on the sideline. I haven't seen any coaches doing it during a game, but don't see a reason why this would hurt anyone. Smoking yes, secondhand smoke is bad. But i don't see anyone forcing the dip into the players mouth (or hand).

Portland doesn't get it on track this week: Springfield by 10.

well, they also have rossview to play, which will give them their 3rd win in the region. They may sneak in with 3 wins but to lock a berth they're going to need a 4th win, either against springfield or Beech..and right now a win (from portland) against beech is impossible and springfield is looking tough.

Rogers plays OT? So does Lumpkin, looks like these guys are very similar indeed.

Hmm, Can't wait for this game. It's going to be a good game. Both have relatively good defenses: Kenwood gives up 11ppg and Clarksville gives up 14ppg. But you guys are right, They're offense rests on their run game. If you can shut it down, it's all over for the boys in purple. GO Knights!

when facing two teams in a row with talent, they've lost; Not to mention one of them being a shutout. They're a young team, and it seems like they are making mistakes typical of a young team.

I'm thinking Beech, Kenwood, Clarksville, and Mt. Juliet/Portland...springfield played pretty well last week (and the week before), they could catch Portland if they aren't prepared.... Portland is in a downward spiral. If they don't shape up, they could end up missing the playoffs.
