RedVenom15 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Congratulations Overton on your win against Indy!!! That's right. Overton did beat Independence in a bowl game last night. Region 5-5A - 1, Region 6-5A - 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromthetop2 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Playoff games in 5A are seldom blowouts. Too much playoff pressure, not enough teams that would qualify as vastly superior to everyone they play. In most cases, there is not a tremendous amount of physical difference between a 1 and a 4 seed. In the smaller classifications, the disparity of one team having three or four horses or more depth is more apparent. What the differences that usually show up are coaching ability and scheme. Matchups are THE difference maker in 5A ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couga14 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 That's right. Overton did beat Independence in a bowl game last night. Region 5-5A - 1, Region 6-5A - 0. If you are going to count a bowl game than you should count regular season matchups so that would make it 1-1. Either way, tonight is the night that it will really be settled. Go Region 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavelink101 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Region 6 5A sweeps playoffs If Gallatin wins the next 3 games they will feel what it is like to play in Region 6 5A. They will have proven themselves if they win. I do not believe they will win. Prediction: Winners: Franklin Brentwood Dickson Ravenwood A clean sweep. Sorry...no sweep. How about 2-2?!?!

faninthestand Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I see Franklin over Hville, only due to my confidence in the Defense and what they've done all year. After seeing Dickson County - I like their size, their discipline, their defense and their ability to throw the ball to keep defenses honest. My pick - Dickson Co (once again Antioch get's a tough draw) My knowledge of Brentwood comes primarily from week 5 live, and the rest from channel 9. They have improved since week 5 and they have Crawford - but are still considered young. Hunters Lane from what I have read and heard has quicks but can they sustain the discipline and minimize mistakes. To me this is a Pick-em game. I think Gallatin is the team to beat of all eight teams in this bracket. Can Ravenwood do it - sure, but Gallatin has alot going for them, and it's a tough place to play for visitors. My Pick - Gallatin. Round two - let's get through this week first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHS 2007 Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 I actually would have picked Ravenwood over Gallatin, but I feel they lost a lot of the momentum they had in that loss against Dickson Co. I think Gallatin's D will shut down the predominantly run-based Raptor attack and gets on to Round 2. Gallatin 17 Ravenwood 6 Hendersonville was actually looking good earlier in the year, then again so was Centennial. The late season collapse proved that they cannot perform well when it gets down to the wire. Franklin is easily the best team from 6-5A and they come away with this one. Franklin 28 Hendersonville 3 Hunters Lane has been a thorn in the side for 65A over the years and this year should be no different. Brentwood should bring their passing game to the field and should test their speedy DBs throughout the game. Although this isn't their year, Brentwood should come away with this one in a close contest. Brentwood 17 Hunters Lane 14 Dickson Co. is probably the most underrated team in the playoofs. They easily could have beaten Franklin, but a couple bad breaks gave Franklin the win. Antioch has never faired well against their first round opponents and Dickson's defense will make sure that tonight is no exception.

hardtackle Posted November 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) Great job region 5, who would have thought Gallatin would be the only loser in region 5. So much for the great and better coaching in region 6. Region 5-5A -4 wins, region 6-5A -1 win.

nununu Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Region 5-5A showed up tonite. 3 wins, only loss was the #1 seed. Antioch v. Ravenwood rematch of HL and Hville.

couga14 Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 What a crazy night in 5a football with 5 #1 seeds going down, its the playoffs and you got to love it. Who would have predicted that region 5 would go 3-1 and their only loser would be Gallatin. I'm sorry, but nobody could have predicted that. My hat goes out off to all of region 5 and especially Antioch. Now that DC is out of it, i just hope somebody from this 5/6 bracket can make a run at state, which is completely wide open now. Good luck to everybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think just about everybody was...what a Friday night. I will say this, Region 6 was tough this season as far as the level of competition was fairly even among the teams in it. However, the region is in a down year as a whole, especially when compared to the level it has been at in recent years. I thought that Ravenwood was the best team I had seen all season and I still think they can make Region 6 very proud with a potential State Run...let's cross our fingers at least. I like the Ravenwood/Antioch winner to go to the Semis at least, possibly state. Edited November 4, 2006 by donathan5507 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
