Region 2-5A....interesting!

[TG24]

William Blount is the only team in your top 5 that has played more than one of the other top 5 teams in the region. The other four still have to play each other. This is going to be a great month of football. I agree with your top four, maybe not in that order.

Very good point. This week(for WB) and the rest of the month for OR, Farragut, and Ootlewah will determine the order of the top four. The Farragut game has left me with some questions about Blount, but I think WB will move ahead of Ootlewah beacase they just don't have enough to get past OR and Farragut. I think the OR team is a great one, along with Farragut, but OR is just too powerful for anyone in the reigion in my opinion. Looking foward to some great battles!

The region maybe closer than you think. I don't think the Cats are as dominate this year. They are good but they can be beat. They could lose to any of their last four opponents if they play like they did in the first half last week. I don't think the Champion of this region will be undefeated. No disrespect just my opinion.

Everybody keeps saying Oak Ridge Farragut Ooltewah William Blount are fighting for position in the region. Everybody is leaving out Soddy. Allthese teams are still fighting for a playoff spot not position. Soddy Daisy WILL get in the playoffs. They look better and better every week. The team to get left out will most likely be Farragut. They caught William Blount on a bad night. Farragut just has not impressed me other than the win against Blount.

You will eat those words. Farragut is still in the hunt for the first seed. They will beat Soddy for sure.

Yea all you guys have seemed to have forgotten about the Trojans this is a very good football team who is really coming together at the right time.A lot was built up about Farragut last year and the year before that.Soddy absolutely destroyed them last year with a 35-3 victory and the year before the handed them a 31-17 loss at home to clinch their playoff spot. If i were you i would listen to jaw and wouldnt write the Trojans off just yet b/c he's right their improving every week and they will continue to do so and carry that momentum right into the playoffs.

Oak Ridge is winning this region 2-5A title hands down. the reason i say that beside being a former Oak Ridge Wildcat player and alumni is because of two reasons:

 

Reason 1: We have Spencer Gulmire at RB, all the other teams dont have him

 

Reason 2: We have Revel Coffey who can score anywhere from the field, all the other teams dont have him

 

Roll Cats Roll

jaw822- Wake up baby! Have you seen Farragut this year?

They have the 9th rated defense in the State in 5A. SD is 25th!

Defense wins Championships not pipe dreams like yours.

 

Rank School (overall record) Total pts. allowed pts. allowed/game

------ -------------------------- --------------------- ---------------------

1 Riverdale (7-0) 44 6.3

 

T-5 Oak Ridge (6-0) 43 7.2

 

T-9 Farragut (5-1) 59 9.8

13 Cookeville (6-1) 85 12.1

 

17 Ooltewah (5-1) 84 14.0

 

T-25 Soddy Daisy (4-2) 108 18.0

 

Then you have offense and SD is 19th and Farragut 20th.

 

T-1 Oak Ridge (6-0) 255 42.5

T-1 Ooltewah (5-1) 255 42.5

 

19 Soddy Daisy (4-2) 144 24.0

T-20 Farragut (5-1) 141 23.5

 

Do the math and we got U

points per game isn't the only factor that goes into determining how good a teams defense is...who says the offense hasn't had good field position a lot against a team, say getting inside the 20 or something like that, and who says some of those pts aren't from having an interception run back for a td, or a punt return, and who says a team didn't give up a lot of points in their first 2 games and then have corrected the things and been on lockdown ever since..im sorry but pts per game isn't the only thing that goes into deciding the best D

so your saying that since you have us beat on PAPER, that we shouldnt show up at all...we should go ahead and give yall the win....lol i guess that shows how smart you are........but then again thats three weeks away so we'll see you then

[ArtVandalay]

Oak Ridge Fans, give me 2 answers.

1 - Has Oak Ridge been in Region 2-5A since 1993 "Re-Clssification"?

2 - How many times has Oak Ridge been the #1 Seed out of Region 2-5A?

 

I expect it will be very close to those numbers that Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett has put up in Region 1-5A (9 Titles/#1 Seeds since 1993)

 

Roll Cats Roll

Roll Tribe Roll

Giddy Up!!

Not really but I wanted to show you why you shouldn't under estimate the Farragut. Playing the # 2, 4A team in the state and holding them without a score the first half is more than SD or Owls can say against the comp they have had so far. The Stats are a way to look at the teams. If it wasn't they wouldn't keep them and X-jocks wouldn't have anything to talk about on Fri-Sun.

 

The final weeks of the regular season should be interesting. The owls are a reallyu good team and I would give them an edge against Farragut. I haven't seen SD but know they play good ball. OR is OR!
