"Nerds" 3A picks

[TnBear]

I see what you did there

[sportsnerd]

Well, I missed 3 of the 16, but all of my 2nd round winners are still alive.

Missed the Manassas upset pick against Camden (so hard to gauge Memphis teams since they rarely play outside of Memphis).

Missed the Johnson County upset (7 over 2).

Missed the Sul.No./PF 4 vs. 5 mild upset.

Picked the CAK and Tyner upset wins as I'm sure many did.

Still feel good about my 2nd round picks.

 

I know Gerry Bertier will probably have his contest again, but here are my guesses.

Quad 1

Alcoa over York

Sul. No. over PF

CAK over GP (upset)

CD over JC

THEN

Alcoa over Sul.No.

CAK over CD (upset)

THEN

Alcoa

 

Quad 2

Upperman over GC

Tyner over SC (upset)

ND over Cascade

PC over Sequatchie

THEN

Tyner over Upperman (big upset)

ND over PC (upset)

Then

Tyner

 

Quad 3 (tough one)

CPA over WHH

East over LA

West over EH

Fairview over Harpeth

THEN

CPA over East

Fairview over West

THEN

CPA

 

Quad 4 (guesswork)

LC over Fairley

Man over Camden (upset)

HC over SG

Westview over JCM

THEN

LC over Manassas

Westview over HC

THEN

LC

 

Semis

Alcoa over Tyner

CPA over LC

 

Finals

Alcoa over CPA (Head over heart. Can't pick against a team that's been there so much)

Your Tyner pick is BOLD. Not so sure that round one was an upset (CAK too for that matter) unless you are strictly going off seeding, but round 2 and 3 definitely is for Tyner. I hope your right.

You are right that I am using the term upset based on seeding. I'm sure most people picked CAK and Tyner. 13-3 in the first round is really not that great due to so many mismatches, but doubt if many picked much better.

Of coarse nobody will think this, but I think Lewis county can get past the semis. There is a special group that's here this year and this is their final year. They are making a mark in the 3a class. Go Panthers!

Right there with you Bigman" Go Panthers" I like the underdog role in the Quarters and Semi's:]

I don't think that 11-0 teams sneak up on anyone. Just saying….

[rpclark69]

LOL I agree but still with that no one thinks we can compete after the Quarters well see " Go Panthers"

I think Lewis Co being a small country town gets over looked or maybe we just don't get as much praise as CPA because they are from Nashville and have more media coverage but that's ok CPA is very deserving of the attention they get, we'll just worry about taking it one game at a time like we have all yr.

Another reason is that historically there have been several smaller town teams like LC and Fairview (Cheatham Co., Camden, Smith Co., for example) that have had great regular seasons and a high seed that have been beaten (in some cases badly) by CPA, Goodpasture, etc. in the playoffs. I am NOT saying that will happen this year, but it has happened a lot in the last few years, so there is a perception that exists. At this point, anything can happen except in Quad 1 where Alcoa will roll.
