Liberty might have been the best 3a team, but Lexington beat a very good Hardin county team. They came up a little short agianst Memphis East without Milligan. And we all know Memphis lost 1 game this year to 10-1 Melrose.

I need some help on this list, I'm slacking on my East Tennessee knowledge this year. Who are the best skill position players you guys have seen.

If any of you have ever played football agianst Pearl-Cohn at thier field, you know that hey have a distinct home field advantage. But, you have to go to ND, so sorry Pearl-Cohn, you exit in round 2.

Personally I like the old format where the top 2 went, but I think its bad for highschool football. When you only have the the top 2 teams going, the kids lose intrest in playing for a team that is 7-3 every year but misses the playoffs. In counties with a multiple of highschools, students want to go where they can win, and even though a team might be 7-3, if you dont make the playoffs you are not considered a winner. Thus, talented athletes find a way to make it to the the schools that are still in thier county but make it to the playoffs every year. A good example is Huntingdon and Mckenzie. They are 10 minutes apart, and if Mckenzie never made the playoffs because they were always the 3 seed, where would Drew Hayes and crew decide to go to highschool at. I hate the blow outs, but this is best.

Westview has a good team, but Milan is too tough. The Milan D get is done and sets up yet another showdown of the best rivalry is west tenn. Milan vs Huntingdon. Milan 21 Westview 10

Lexington 35-21. They have the 2 things that you cant coach, speed and God given talent. Creekwood has a good team but that backfield of Smith, Buckley, and Deberry may be the fastest and the most talented in 3a. And just a note, both of Lexington's QBs made the all region team this year, Smith first team all-region, Theadgrill second team.
