Gerry Bertier's 3A Weekly Playoff Update After Week 9

[coachrus]

Dang it all!! What needs to happen for Westmoreland to be in quad 2 again Gerry?

 

With CAK, Tyner,  Johnson County, Grundy,  and West Green all being bubble teams, it doesn't look good for Westmoreland to move east.

I have Grundy getting in over York, but yes. I almost have my final bracket done, but I am going to be out of pocket here in a few minutes so later tonight. Your CPA Lions will be playing White House Heritage in the first round.

 The York and McMinn Central games are probably the toughest to predict next week. But that is a strong possibility.

As of now...and it could change but not much. ..the MO would have to go thru East...CPA...and Fairview or Lipscomb. Perfect...lol.

I think the 2 seed out of Quad 4 will most likely be Hickman. HC plays SC and will end at 7-3. Westview gets Crockett team that's been on a roll so far. Both of them are 6-3

It is almost officially playoff time, this time next week we will be discussing the actual matchups. We have a lot of things that could change between now. Later this weekend I will have some scenarios up and teams to watch, teams like CAK and Tyner could throw a wrench in the brackets. But here is the current playoff bracket if it ended after week 9.

 

Quad 1

 

1 Alcoa

8 West Greene

 

4 Pigeon Forge

5 Sullivan North

 

3 Chuckey Doak

6 Happy Valley

 

2 Gatlnburg-Pittman

7 McMinn Central

 

 Quad 2

 

1 Upperman 

8 York Institute

 

4 Cascade

5 Sequatchie Co.

 

3 Notre Dame

6 Smith Co.

 

2 Polk Co. 

7 Grundy Co.

 

Quad 3

 

1 CPA

8 White-House Heritage

 

4 Westmoreland

5 East Nashville

 

3 Lipscomb

6 Harpeth

 

2 Fairview

7 East Hickman

 

Quad 4

 

1 Lewis Co.

8 Fairley

 

4 Manassas

5 Camden

 

3 Hickman Co.

6 South Gibson

 

2 Westview 

7 JCM

CAK should handle Kingston relatively easy. And be the top 4 win team, with 8? Quality opponents. That pushes McCentral back to quad 2 , if they beat Chatt. Central.

I think the Tyner v Red Bank game is a coin flip.

The best I can cipher, Fairview needs East Magnet to beat Lipscomb Friday night. That would lock us in at the 2 seed, put Lipscomb on the CPA side of the bracket, and would give us home field advantage in rounds 1&2.

 

If Lipscomb wins, we'll drop to 3 seed, play either Harperh or East Hickman in 1st round at home, and go to Lipscomb if we make it to round 2.

 

I'd like to see East magnet pull it out so we can be at home the first 2 rounds. That's our best shot to make it to CPA.

So are west and east pretty much a lock to play in quad 3?

[ddaddy]

The way I see it FV and Lipcomp is a good match up for FV. FV deffensive pressure will be hard for anyone who is not under center running at them. CPA is very good, but you have got to believe that they are beatable to get them and that's not what I have been hearing.

Nobody has mentioned Lewis Co. one bit.. I guess we may be the sleeper team?

I have no doubt in my mind that Fairview can beat CPA. Just don't want to put the cart before the horse because we'll have to face teams perfectly capable of beating us if we don't play to our ability.

Lewis reigns terror in quad 4 with Westview as potential spoiler. Camden is my sleeper pick for Q4.

No, you guys are expected to win the weak quad 4.
