Gerry Bertier Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 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.

automatic Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Gerry Bertier thanks for the addition to your top ten. howdoiknow,we do belong…put any of these teams in district 4 and see how they do!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCstinger Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Great job. Roy Dillard will want to compare your pole against Murphys pole more than likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indian Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Greenbrier is 4A Not very accurate then Replace them with Pearl-Cohn unless they're 4A also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govolsknox Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Nice job Gerry. IMO Loudon is extremely deserving of a top 10 placement. They have a very good football team this year and will be 8-2 at the end of the season with their games to Alcoa and CAK already out of the way.

Will be fun to watch how the teams do from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Bertier Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
