Tyner? Really?

Tyner? Really?

Have you seen Tyner play? The past six games "Rams" are averaging 43.0 points per game!

Fairview is gonna smack CPA upside the head. You heard it here first!

I don't see this 4 win team making semi's.

Tyner has had several tremendous athletes over the years and probably as many or more MR FOOTBALL award winners than ANY school!!

They may not, but anyone can pick the higher seeds and there are always upsets. As a nerd, I examine the season, common opponents, who they lost to, when, their current momentum, etc. and I make a calculated guess. Here is my reasoning:

1. They won 4 but lost 2 to forfeits.

2. They lost their first 4 to 3 teams who finished 7-3 and one who finished 8-2. These are quality teams and Tyner was competitive in these games.

3. They have momentum winning their last 4.

4. Quad 2 is the weakest by far and the best place to pick an upset.

5. May eat crow, but still not sold on Upperman.

I gave my opinion. I will be glad to hear yours.

ND over Polk??? You must have missed week 7. They are tough but very undisciplined.

[TnBear]

Might I add we beat them with a few injuries as well

Yes, this is a tough call, almost a coin flip. The East Ridge common results were interesting, and I like teams that lose close games not losing in a rematch.

Polk had 3 turnovers in the redzone vs east ridge along with two tds called back
