This is strictly my opinion but I think its very bold for Abernathy to rank himself anywhere near Carver Morgan and Henry Kay, much less put himself ahead of Barnes. Barnes was good and will be better next year. Regardless that there is some questioning on whether he is first team all state or not, he's still good and he's better than Abernathy.
MBA will play a solid game, unlike the one before, and win. plus, they have home field advantage..im sayin MBA in a close one...and i'll go out on a limb and say they'll play MUS on saturday for the State Championship.
I think all of the quarterfinal games for D1 will be played at the higher seed's home field, but the semi-final and final games for D1 will be played next weekend on MBA's turf. The match-ups I think are as follows:
1. MUS vs. 4. Webb
2. Houston vs. 3 Ravenwood
1. MBA vs. 4 Father Ryan
2. McCallie vs. 4. CBHS.
anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
Cahill has put up significant stats in the games against quality teams; 5 against Lassiter, 3 and 4 against MUS, and has points in the Ravenwood and Lovett games. So stats may skew some peoples perception of ability, but they can also show who comes to play.
