i think the REAL state championship game will be played in the first round, when Hendersonville plays Farragut. Shame they have to meet in the first round..

Hendersonville winning it.

 

The Hendersonville - Farragut game will be one of the hardest games played by both sides. Whoever wins this game I think will win the championship. I have my faith in Hendersonville as they have been playing hard and great in the recent games I have seen. Go Commandos.

I will go with a Brentwood v Farragut final, both semi's going into overtime.....cant really decide who wins it all!

(oops, posted this in the wrong thread last time)

 

AAA State bracket first rounds are mainly uneventful with the exception of Hendersonville/Farragut. All other games will get no ink as they will most likely be very predictable (I'll leave it to your own opinion as to who wins). The Hendersonville/Farragut game is really the only one worth talking about. These two met earlier in the year and finished in a 0-0 tie. Hendersonville seems to have to hardest schedule but Farragut a better record so this will be a fantastic match.

I'll say Brentwood and Cleveland in the final with Brentwood winning

Brentwood will definitely be there, but I think they will play the winner of Farragut and Hendersonville, which will probably be Farragut.

 

Farragut wins the final in OT.

Yes, that is the problem with the blind draw format. Sometimes the best two teams meet in the quarterfinals.

Dins my friend, I respect your statement that this team is better than last year, skilled coaches and students of the game standing in the stands are usually a better source for the level of the team than the players. Although I will never admit to any of the players playing now that they are better!! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> You got one thing spot on though, CBHS vs Farragut is a tremendous match-up, I wish that you could of seen that match-up last year. I know that everyone on the team last year will admit its probably the most intense game we played last year. Im pretty sure that CB would say the same. This year would be no different.

Bearden Brentwood KINGSBURY Farragut

 

Brentwood Farragut with Farragut regaining the State Title back to the East

 

Kingsbury seems like a scrappy team that could surprise Cleveland or Riverdale...lot of international talent on that team...but no one but CBHS can hang with Farragut now it seems its theirs to lose

 

 

Cleveland tied CBHS 1-1 with CBHS's goal coming in the 79th minute.

Cleveland has a very strong team. I have only seen Cleveland play once....against my team (Baylor) and was very impressed with them. I hope the Blue Raiders can win it all this year. Good luck.

The blind draw.....(would love to know how this is done) somehow puts Farragut against hendersonville, a team they have all ready played.

 

This is the only matchup where they will have to play again in the qter finals. I think it is terrible

 

 

Why wouldnt Hville face cleveland?

 

 

I just think that if these 8 teams make it to the tourny, they should see some new competition!

 

Cant wait to see all the games.

 

Good luck to everyone and may the best team win!

The blind draw.....(would love to know how this is done)

 

 

Basically they put Bearden and Farragut on opposite sides of the bracket (because thet are in the same region) and then they pull names out of a hat.

 

 

Sometimes the top two teams play in the quarters.... that is part of the "bad side" of a blind draw.Sometimes the two best teams are on opposite sides of the bracket.

 

For what it's worth, it works the same way in basketball. Several years ago #1 and #2 in the state AAA basketball tournament played in the quarters and #1 won the game by 3 points. They won the semis and the finals by over 20 points. Just the way it goes with a blind draw.

Blind Draw? Are we all blind?

 

Based on Eurosports ranking from last week numbers 1,2,4,6 and 8 are in the tournament along with 3 not ranked.

The top 4 play #8 and the 3 non-ranked teams.

 

This would however be what we would expect if we were not told that it's a blind draw!
