p9morbid Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 I know one thing, William Blount had one OF the toughest last season. It seemed like every week they played somebody else that was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCrising Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 anyone in region 2 5A has a tough schedule. They have three of the top teams in the state in it. ( Oak Ridge, Ooltewah and Soddy Daisey) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleybears2004 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Yes Bradley Central has a hard one but it is alittle better now that they replaced East Ridge with Warron Co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I stated 2 5A. 1. East Ridge dropped to 3A and Bradley picked up Walker Valley who moved to 4A this year. Warren Co. called wanting the game with BC so the Red Bank game was dropped.

mcallister1479 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I'd like to make a case for McCallie. Look how many of the teams already mentioned have McCallie on their schedule (MBA, Brentwood A., Father Ryan, Powell, Alcoa, etc.). Here it is: August 26 vs. Lakeview-Ft. Oglethorpe (GA) LFO, though not quite a GA powerhouse, is always a competitive team, having established themselves as one of North GA's finest. They finished the 2004 regular season undefeated. September 2 vs. Briarcrest Briarcrest returns some elite DI prospects from their 2004 Div. II-AA championship team, including DE Greg Hardy and Ole Miss commitment LB Brandon Jackson. September 9 vs. Powell The Panthers feature All-Southeast TE Lee Smith. September 16 @ Brentwood Academy The Blue Tornado heads to Brentwood to play the defending DII-AAA runners-up. The always talent-laden eagles feature massive OL Mike Berry and RB Tyree Ford. September 23 vs. Alcoa One of the State's best teams features several DI prospects, including QB Joei Feigler, RB Dustin Lindsey, and Rivals100 Florida State commitment (TE/LB) Brandon Warren. September 30 @ Baylor One of TN's most intense rivalries (one of the best in Div. II) features players like Baylor FB Kevin Cooper and (All-American Tennessee commitment) OG/DT Jacques McClendon. October 7 @ Atlanta Lovett (GA) October means an easier road for McCallie. Of the 4 games they play that month, 3 appear easy wins. This is one of them. October 14 vs. Tyner Though McCallie normally dominates this game, Tyner is a dangerous team with a lot of speed. Octover 21 @ MBA This should be a great game. Both teams always play VERY hard; this one's not for the feint of heart. October 28 vs. Father Ryan McCallie closes out the regular season vs. a weak FR team. The schedule seems to lighten up towards the end (maybe a smart strategy) but the first 6 games are as tough competition as anyone in the state will see (in their first 6).

BamaFaninTN Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 (edited) McCallister, my man, as an MBA fan I fear playing McCallie every year because ya'll are always just as conditioned, just as physical, and just as athletic as the Big Red. But you cannot make a case for that schedule. Most of your non-conference games are against smaller schools -- and I loathe the prospect of getting into an argument about the public/private split and the ability of smaller schools to compete with higher divisions. (it seems to dominate this board every year, especially when the polls start coming out). Just think of it this way -- if MBA goes undefeated through that stretch of the first three games (albeit they're all at home) they should be nationally ranked. If McCallie goes undefeated throughout its entire schedule they'll struggle to be recognized, especially if a team like Riverdale continues its undefeated streak. Best of luck to the Tornadoes until you stroll on up to Nashville. Edited July 14, 2005 by BamaFaninTN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reaction Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Boyd Buchanans schedule stands out to me. Making the move from 1A to 2A will be fun to watch. There non region opponents will be Baylor,Fulton,Cookeville,and Red Bank, while having a well respected 2A opponent in Tyner. MBA seems like they have a really tough schedule too. good luck on the out of state team thumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
