A-AA State Tournament Thoughts

[CHAMPDDS]

Anyone care to throw out some thoughts on what pairings may happen when they announce the 'modified' blind draw for the brackets?

 

Final 8:

ELIZABETHTON

CAK

CCS

NOTRE DAME

CPA

WHITE HOUSE

LIBERTY

SACRED HEART

[ChattanoogaCannon]

CCS and ND will be on opposite sides. Other than that, no one knows until tomorrow.

My predictions for the "blind" draw...and the logic that TSSAA isn't (LOL) using for the picks.

 

CAK

Notre Dame

(They've got to trim down the good East TN teams)

 

Sacred Heart

CPA

(First time in the tournament? Prove yourself.)

 

White House

CCS

(Typical rural public school vs. Private)

 

Elizabethton

Liberty

(The leftovers)

I'm buying

Bring on CAK, lets get it out of the way! They deserve all the credit until they are de-throned. Some love Big G

The best A/AA public school in the state for 3 years running finally gets their shot. I believe we just put a beat down on the only other team that could make that claim tonight.

 

Personally, we will play whoever the TSSAA gods put in front of us...

 

This is how I rank it right now:

 

1. Notre Dame (seems to be playing their best right now)

2a. CAK (close scores in normally blowout games seem to indicate uncharacteristic vulnerability)

2b. CPA (always well coached and prepared)

4. White House (newcomers with a chip on their shoulder and only public with talent to un seat the private chokehold on A/AA.)

5. CCS

6. Elizabethton

7. Sacred Heart (tempting matchup w/ White House.... aka Sacred Heart of Jesus VERSUS the Devils)

8. Liberty (somebody has to be #8)

 

Thoughts??

Agree with the rankings. If only they would use this system when setting the bracket. It seems every year we end up with a potential championship match in the first or second round.

 

Regardless...District 10 FTW!!!

 

BDP (until the tournament is over)

I will buy it for now DCurtis.....Lets see how the TSSAA shuffle folds out.....look forward to seeing you too

[Duetto]

The brackets are out, so let the picks begin...

[CHAMPDDS]

It was inevitable...Notre Dame will have to go through CAK to get to the finals this season....(CCS has had that privilege the last couple of times)

Thoughts??

 

Well based on this, a good ranking IMO ,

 

Elizabethton 6 v CCS 5

CPA 2b v Sacred Heart 7

 

White House 4 v Notre Dame 1

Liberty 8 v CAK 2a

 

So if you believe the possible rankings bracketing.....thoughts?

1 always plays 8, 4 plays 5, etc, in the first round. But the draw is blind so no teams are ranked going in.

[Duetto]

Why were the brackets changed? The intitial pairings had White House playing CCS and Elizabethton playing ND. All other games are the same???
