[Teddavid]

Gordonsville over Lookout Valley 1-9--what a disgrace

White House over Tullahoma--This isn't right--two 9-1 teams

 

A 1-9 team makes the playoffs and a 9-1 team has to go on the road. Doesnt seem right does it? However, if you drop the 3 and 4 seeds from the playoffs, then Tullahoma doesnt even make it. Dont look for any answers from me.

 

Just One Man's Opinion

[anspa]

good picks, you might get %100

[fanman]

I'll take Portland over Howard. This ones gonna be close...dont let the record fool you...Portland is tough.

[Tombstone52]

riverside over lorett, hands down

[cavsregionchamp]

Mr. Toline made another pick

but he got pancaked by franklin county's running back on his touchdown run. It was pretty humerous even though it gave franklin county a 10-0 lead. Got to see that on film! Congrats Cavs!

 

 

Cookeville over Symrna--go Mr. Tolline

Blackman over Franklin Co

Oakland over Cumberland Co

Riverdale over Lincoln Co--revengeVERY BIG WIN

 

Good picks for region 3 and 4 games

[BigSneaky]

Bolton should win this one...whitehaven isnt that good...bolton did beat houston!

[jaxoncm]

Bolton should win plus if Felix doesn't play Overton has a very good shot at beating Houston.

Class 4A

Elizabethton over Cocke Co---possible upset??

 

 

 

Well I hope it's competitive at least. My Pioneers are out and I have to travel to Elizabethton to cover the Fightin' Cocks...here's hoping Jerome Carmichael runs ragged at Betsy so I can get more mileage.

[Guest sb29]

I hope He runs over Betsy too....I hate ending our season at Elizabethon

 

Though its gotten closer each year

 

98 - Betsy 63 CCHS 6

99 - Betsy 45 CCHS 7 (Witten's SR year, biggest and best player on the field)

00 - Betsy 23 CCHS 8

01 - CCHS took a break and went to TN High

 

(and not mentioning the fact Betsy ended CCHS's season in 97 in the 3rd Round @ CCHS)

[TheAnswer9]

I actually student taught Mr. Toline while he was at Avery Trace in the 8th grade--I had him in Mr. Roy Watts' American History class. I knew he had the potential to be a special player. I believe his brother signed a baseball sch with TN Tech. Is he still there?? If anyone knows, please let me know.

Answer, I respect anyone who has the patience, stamina, and knowledge to pick every playoff game. I'm trying the same task, but we'll see how I can compare to you. I like your picks. I have made mine for 1A-3A, and here are some of the games to watch in my opinion:

 

1A:

 

-Coalfield/Powell Valley

Your Pick: Coalfield

My Pick: Powell Valley

 

-DCA/Cascade

Your Pick: DCA

My Pick: DCA

(I know, we made the same pick, but it is a game to watch)

 

2A:

 

-Loretto/Riverside

Your Pick: Loretto

My Pick: Riverside

 

3A:

 

-Gatlinburg-Pittman/Kingston

Your Pick: Pittman

My Pick: Kingston

 

-Livingston Academy/Grundy County

Your Pick: LA

My Pick: Grundy County

(I went back and forth on this one)

 

-Raleigh-Egypt/Ripley

Your Pick: Ripley

My Pick: Egypt

 

 

As far as I can see, those are the only games from 1A to 3A on which we differ (except for the DCA/Cascade game). If you want to explain your rationale behind these decisions, go for it. I'll be glad to offer whatever insight I have as well, though it might not be as in-depth as yours. I'm just an avid fan with a guessing problem.

 

Best of luck!
