1. Alcoa- Will anyone give the Tornadoes a game this season? From the first 5 weeks of things, the answer looks to be no.

 

2. CAK- They may have been the 2nd best team in the state the last couple of years, but being Alcoa's district has hurt their chances of taking the next step.

 

3. Goodpasture- The Cougars are back with new helmets, a big athletic offensive line and a passing game. Looks like we may get a Alcoa vs. Goodpasture state championship game.

 

4. Camden- Coach Ward and staff may have their best team since he and his staff have been there. Being multi-dimensional on offense will increase the Lions chances of making a run to Cookeville.

 

5. Loudon- Could easily be #3 or 4 on the ranking as they are 2-2 losing to the #1 and # 2 teams in the poll. The Redskins have the bad luck of having both CAK and Alcoa in the same district.

 

6. Westview- Coach Coady has his best team in the past couple of seasons, played Camden tough and the Chargers may meet the Lions in the Quarters for the right to play Goodpasture.

 

7. Milan- Coach Morris is developing this young Bulldog team that looks to be a force come November. Only loss is to # 5 Westview.

 

8. Pearl Cohn- The Firebirds are 3-2 on the season losing to MBA and BGA. They have speed and athleticism at every position and could present problems for teams come November.

 

9. Smith Co.- Owls have a solid squad once again. May have a bird matchup Owls vs. Firebirds for the right to play Goodpasture in the Quarters.

 

10. Polk Co.- After having a breakout season, they have rebounded with only one loss in the first 5 weeks to Bradley Central.

 

Let the bashing begin.

Take Loudon out, move every other team up one position, and then insert Howard at #10 and I would say you have it nailed Gerry.

 

I would also be interested to see you take as far as a "mock playoff bracket" goes following Week 5 next weekend. You are usually pretty accurate when it comes to this system.

It's tough to even make a good guess on all four quads and their teams since 4A teams finishing first or second in the regular season district affects the number of wild cards. I did a really rough breakdown and had Elizbethton, Alcoa, Goodpasture, Camden at the top of each. Something a little interesting, I had CAK in Quad 1, away from Alcoa, due to a lack of northeast teams qualifying. I looked closer at one team, Sequatchie and had them seeded third or fifth in quad 3, depending on winning or finishing second in District 7-hosting East Literature or traveling to Greenbriar. We'll see how accurate that is in a few weeks.

Like your list at this point of the season. Will be fun to watch how the teams do from here on out.

If you're going to include GPasture you should consider CPA. CPA outplayed GP. Great game, as always, wrong team awarded the win.

 

CPA has not played well of late, and being a rivalry game I throw scores out the window. To me it only matters who wins in those type games. Goodpasture and CPA know each other too well to be a blowout either way.

    • Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen. 
    • I know the RB from OR he’s fast and has good hands. Is good on special teams also. Didn’t want to play defense over to the Ridge.
    • Lieutenant Flip flops is on a roll. #1 recruiter in Anderson Co, fo-sho.
    • Has there been any effort to contact college coaches other than Trevecca? 
    • 5star put out and article about the QB competition for Clinton like they have 9 other schools. They listed a QB that was previously on Powell’s roster last year. He was the Frosh that could throw great wearing number 5. He was not mentioned as a transfer.  HC was quoted in getting two running back transfers one being from OR that has been mentioned on these boards as well as another from TKA.  I had heard about these and more transfers. It is impressive that Clinton is able to steal away from the recruiter at Powell.  I wonder if the issue with the principal will change that or open the gates even more.
