Sullivan South or Tennessee High get to Maryville?

[tricitiessportsfan]

With Region 2-4A being unpredictable and Sullivan South and Tennessee High rolling through Region 1-4A is this the year the Rebels or Vikings could make playoff runs to get to Maryville in November? Yes, its early...but it's never to early to start talking!!! Harrumph!!!

Watch out for that splinter in your eye. There is a lot of football left to be played. SHHS was awful last night, though they played hard. Switch coaches and SH beats TH by 21

It's possible but I don't even want to think about it now since it's 9 weeks away. That could lead to an upset. Teams in Region 2 are very unpredictable. Morristown West could very well be the team making it to the Semis again. I know some people think that's a crazy thought, but in 2004 Morristown West came into the Stone Castle with a 4-6 record and almost handed the Vikings a loss. Judging by how they played the Vikings, you would think that the Trojans should've been 9-1 that year as opposed to 4-6.

Hey now that's not fair. Can Tennessee High at least play on auto-pilot instead of trading coaches. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Fair statement. Sat behind Viking fans last night in the box and they were second guessing Coach, but they felt there are blessings like the other guy /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" /> in the funny hat and clothes 2 sizes too large was on the other side

True. I listened to the game on the radio. I will say SH underachieved, however TH did their part to get the victory. TH's defense played well. Apparently Coach Smith doesn't understand the area. He's 0-2 against Region 1-4A, albeit those teams are well rounded squads. I was at the DB/Elizabethton game at J.Fred, would have rather been at Memorial Stadium last night. Elizabethton looked like a JV team.

 

I see SS with the best chance, simply for offense creativity. They can put points on the board quickly through the air and do a good enough job running the ball, whereas TH does a good job running the ball but appears to have no desire to put it in the air. Typical Stubbs though.

Although I know 5A DB and SH are good opponents for SS and TH to play, not to mention make money, I'd still like to see the 4A schools play other 4A schools like Knox West, Knox Central, Knox Halls to get better. I wonder if the TSSAA would ever consider making a rule where teams could only play out of conference games against teams in their own classifications. That would really be something...something bad overall, but might add some interesting matchups. I think South has done a good job preparing themselves out of conference wise against teams they may potentially face in the first three rounds with Daniel Boone and Greeneville, and making a statement by beating SH. Tennessee High always does well against SH, sometimes DB, but the tradition of the TH/VH game doesn't seem to get them any better prepared for the playoffs. Just my opinion. Love the pagentry of it though. I hope TH does keep the DB game alive, keep what I call the Tri-Cities Challenege (DB v. TH, DB v. SH, TH v. DB, TH v. SH, SH v. TH, SH v. DB) series alive. Maybe we should get a triangular trophy to award to the champion each year.
