Good question. One to which I don't have an answer. My guess is the lack of numbers at the school is playing a big part. I've heard that Carver is a school that is being considered for closure and those who attend will be assigned to go to BTW. That also may have something to do with it. Those are just guesses on my part.

Thank you kwc and good luck Whitehaven. It would be a pleasure to meet up for a gold ball again.

Carver numbers are very low. I remember when it would be our biggest league game. I really hate they are closing the Memphis schools (Westwood, Carver, and Northside). Combining Westwood with Mitchell and Carver with BTW will be a serious challenge. Both sets of schools are serious rivals.

If this is your first time ever reading this thread, I will explain how this works. Each week I will select games that I think are big games that invovle a City of Memphis high school, or a team from the Memphis area. We take those games and select who we think will win. We tabulate the scores and keep up with it throughout the regular season. We do the same for the post season as long as there a school from the area participating in the post season. It's fun. Join us.

 

Now, for Week 0, I've selected the following 12 games:

My apologies for the errors earlier. I don't like trying to do this on the Blackberry. I make too many mistakes like that.

I never have any luck with those Small Private school games, kwc! LMAO... I truly underestimated East. Good win! I thought the coaching change at Westwood would of had a negative effect on them early in the season. Guess not. Good win!
