In AAA I would let someone take the rest of the field as long as I could take Riverdale and/or Science Hill. I firmly believe the Gold ball will be held by one of those two teams. Even if there is an upset say in the Region Finals by someone like Blackman I’ll still take Riverdale to be there in the end. Science Hill should cruise to Murfreesboro. The only dark horse I would see would be Memphis Central, Nina Davis is that good.

 

This might be the bracket to watch in Murfreesboro. It is wide open in AA in my opinion with no clear cut favorite IMO. Grainger has been rolling this year and is the only team that might be considered a favorite, but with no recent experience in

Murfreesboro I wouldn’t consider them a favorite. McMinn Central a team with plenty experience in Murfreesboro and a recent state title would be right there as well. But I believe they are a number of teams that could beat either but with the most of the “number of teams†being concentrated in 2 Regions. I would put the winner of Region 4-AA and the winner of Region 7-AA whomever is left standing in those two brutal Regions could easily make a run to a Gold ball. That’s not to mention the defending state champ CPA or Macon County that has a recent runner-up finish; if either makes it to the Glass House they would be capable. I expect a lot of close ball games in AA.

 

Single A is not as wide open as AA and not as clear cut as AAA. I think I would take 4 teams and let someone else take the field, in no particular order Union City, Jackson County, Summertown and Cosby. I really think the Gold ball is between those 4 teams. Of course, some of those mentioned Cosby/Summertown have to make sure they don’t slip up between now and getting to Murfreesboro.

Don't forget about 13 AA. It' very brutal. Ask Obion. They lost 1 player off of last year's State Runner-Up Team and I have them going down in the Region. Keep your eyes on Westview if they get past Obion or Bolivar which I think they will. Very tall and athletic. Got inside and outside game. Not a lot of TO's and have Boro experience.

Winner of Region 4-AA, McMinn Central and Macon could make a run. Grainger is one of the most dominant AA teams I've seen in a while. I honestly believe that they would've still been undefeated had they played in a district like 8-AA this year. I'm excited to get too see them again if they make it.

This the same Grainger that was so dominate last year 31-2 and couldn't get out of sub-state?!? We will see.....I'll give the props if they do. They would not be undefeated in 8-AA! I'd bet my life on that! They may win it all but they wouldn't cakewalk through 8-AA.

Have you watched them? Did you realize they've played most of the season with their best player hurt? I can promise you that Graingers bigs would run any 8-AA off the floor, including Sells and they're best player is their point guard. I'm not one to taking picks over 8-AA lightly, but I've seen Grainger three times and they're the real deal.

 

8-AA is still, and is always good, but definitely no powerhouse teams like in the past, and not one that could beat Grainger without me considering it a huge upset.

McMinn Central could make a run at the title. Losing one of their top players for the year hurt pretty bad. If she plays I think there would be no doubt at another title. But they still may have enough firepower to bring home another Gold Ball. Still a long way to go but I would presume Morgan and Young will have their troops ready for battle.

Not to be argumentative, but I don't see Grainger as being a "dominant" team. I've seen them in three games, and I'll credit them on being a good team, but dominant??? Looking at their schedule, their District isn't all that strong, so maybe SportsWatcher931's post above about them going 31-2 last season, but losing in substate, is indicative of the teams they played last year and have played this year?

 

I'm not stating that Grainger won't go to state, but the competition there in Murfreesboro won't be anything like what Grainger has played against this season. Regardless, I'm wishing them well and will gladly say I was wrong if they dominate state.

Does Central have the supporting cast that can step up and take over if teams stop Masengil?

      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.
