I agree with all of your picks. Kirby may have one last upset up their sleeve.

 

 

You know something ... Kirby has a lot of talent comming back and beating Collierville in the last game of the season could really have a positive affect on the team in the spring and then in the following summer. I don't think Kirby will roll over in this game. I'm interested in watching how this plays out. Kirby is already knocking on the door with the 8-5A elite. They aren't winning any of these games ... but they are competing a whole lot better then in years past. To go from 1-9 in the year prior to this one and turn it into a probable 5-5 year; possibly 6-4, is quite a feat in my book ... with optimisim for the future.

WSHS vs Houston is like a playoff game for houston. they know what is at stake. They have known since the germantown game what they had to do. I gotta pick houston in a close one here. Agree with your other picks kwc.

 

 

Houston's back is against the wall here isn't it? They have no choice but to come out with guns ablazin'. Will Houston be able to slow down Burton and Co. is the question. That is a very tall order.

Week 10 in Memphis and the surrounding areas and it's do or die for certain teams. Let's take a look shall we?

 

Millington (7-5A) vs Cordova (7-5A): @ Cordova

 

Millington, 9-0, has to go on the road and play Cordova, 8-1. Cordova's only loss came at the beginning of the season to a defensivly minded ECS team. Since then, Cordova has reeled off eight in a row. Millington has rolled over it's opposition except for Craigmont and Ridgeway. Cordova has dominated it's opposition except for Craigmont and Bolton. Both teams have very good defenses and they have exhibited the ability to score. Millington has a propensity to run more then pass. Cordova is a little more blanaced. Since this is in Cordova that will give them a slight edge. The winner is the top seed in 7-5A and the loser is 2nd fiddle. Cordova is playing for respect. I suspect that Cordova is going to stack the box and everybody is going to be keeping an eye on one Mr. Tausean Holmes. Millington and Cordova have both won close games but Millington's offense has been more explosive overall. There is a thread on this very game.

 

Pick: Millington

 

 

Houston (8-5A) vs White Station (8-5A): @ Houston

 

Houston, 7-2, could be eliminated from the playoffs at 7-3 if they lose to White Station AND Germantown wins their game. White Station has clinched a spot in the playoffs but a victory will garuntee them a seed no lower then 2nd. Home field advantage is a big plus during the playoffs so this is a must win game for both teams. I think White Stations 'D' is pretty darn good and will be the difference in this game.

 

Pick: White Station

 

 

Kirby (8-5A) vs Collierville (8-5A): @ Collierville

 

Kirby, 5-4, has been mathmatically eliminated from the playoffs. Collierville, 5-4, still has a chance to play in the post season but they have to beat Kirby. They have to win their game and they have to hope that White Station and Germantown win their games as well. I think Collierville plays like it's life depends upon them winning this game. If Collierville wins and White Staion wins ... Houston is eliminated. Kirby's motivation is to play spoiler.

 

Pick: Collierville

 

 

Germantown (8-5A) vs Hamilton (8-5A): @ Germantown

 

Germantown, 7-2, host Hamliton, 2-7. This is no brainer but I mentioned it because it will have a definate effect on the playoff seeding in region 8-5A.

 

Pick Germantown

 

 

Whitehaven (8-5A) vs Wooddale (8-5A): @ Halle

 

Whitehaven, 8-1, travels to Halle to play Wooddale, 0-9. This is another no brainer but this game has 8-5A playoff implications.

 

Pick: Whitehaven

 

Side Note:

 

The Wooddale/Hamilton game last week was not reported in the Commercial Appeal. TSSAA does not have a score on this game and neither does Coacht. The records that I indicated for each team in these scenerios were a result of me assuming that Hamilton beat Wooddale. I have no idea who won that game or what the score was ... and it appears that I am not the only one in the dark about this game. It's a shame that something like this could even happen!

 

 

Melrose (8-4A) vs East (8-4A): @ Melrose

 

This game has already been discussed exhaustively in another thread tittle 7-4A vs 8-4A, so i will cut to the chase; Both teams have played excpetionally well but I think Melrose's defense will put them over the top.

 

Pick: Melrose

 

 

ECS (D2-2A West) vs Briarcrest (D2-2A West): @ ECS

 

ECS, 7-2, has only lost to region foes MUS and CBHS. Briarcrest, 6-3, has fallen to BGA, USJ, nad MUS. This is a must win game for ECS to make it to the playoffs. Briarcrest on the otherhand is in win or lose because they defeated CBHS. CBHS will be cheering for Briarcreast as well because a Briarcrest loss eliminates CBHS altogether. A Briarcrest victory makes Briarcrest a 2nd seed; a loss means they are a third seed. All of the incentive is on ECS's side to make it into the post season. The game being played at ECS is a bonus for ECS.

 

Pick: ECS

 

So ... according to my picks region playoff seeding for 8-5A will be as follows:

WhitehavenWhite StationGermantownCollierville

 

According to my selections the seeding for 7-5A will be as follows:

MillingtonCordovaRidgewayCraigmont

 

According to my selections and assumming Kingsbury beats Raleigh Egypt, 8-4A will be seeded as follows:

FairleyMelroseEastKingsbury

 

Also, according to my selections D2-2A West seeding will be as follows:

MUSECSBriarcrest

 

That's it for me ... what do you guys think?

 

 

I'm going with Millington, White Station, Collierville, Germantown, Whitehaven, Melrose and of course, ECS baby! Looks like I agree with all your picks.

kwc, i saw this drop to the second page so here are my thoughts to get the thread back on the front page.

 

Millington

Houston, I only lean this way because of home field and coaching

Collierville, This sould change before kickoff because i was told today that C-Villes starting Qb is out with injury which changes things

Whitehaven

Melrose

Briarcrest if they have their starting QB he was injured

 

Good luck and Good health to all players

Man, it is hard getting a little respect around here. It seems that everyone thinks Melrose will beat East without a doubt. I'm not complaining, you have to beat the Big Dog to be the Big Dog. So, it will be interesting to see what is said if East does come out on top. Getcha popcorn ready!! /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

It sure was nice to be at practice today at Whitehaven and see everyone healthy. Jeremy Pryor (6-4) the big play receiver for the Tigers who has been out since the Houston game practiced full pads for the first time. Cortez Mosby was in full pads after sitting out of the G-Town game as well was starting QB Fred Flanorl. I am very excited about our chances this post season. Let's get it started,but first we have to take care of Woodale.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
