i think betsy crushes south this year....maybe by 3 td's or more

 

If you don't mind me asking..why the confidence in such a large margin? Traditionally our games have been decided by less than a TD in recent history lol

Better get the Fix-A-Flat Ready!!!!!!!!

Would have been funny.... had your comment been directed towards the right school. dhst is a Liberty fan, which is in Jackson. Not a Trezevant fan, which is in Memphis. Nice try though.

Regardless of failed humor attempts. It will be a battle between Liberty and Trezevant for who comes out of quad 4. Just dont see Crockett making past either one of those two. Good luck running the ball on either one, I believe Trezevant is averaging negative rushing yards for the year.

Year in and Year out we here all kinds of yap from west tn about having great defense and going to be hard to run on. Until someone from the West in 4a proves that to be true no one in the east is buying into the hype. I hope you prove me wrong because I'm tired of seeing 4a championship games not being close at all!

You think Liberty ain't above cuttin' a tire or two?

If Craigmont loses to Manassas then they would trade spots with Dyersburg.

T$$AA might swap Macon to quad 3 for Giles.  Not sure they always go by the "Natural Quads".  They say they put pins on the map and try to draw natural groupings after the 32 are set.  Has Macon gone west before?

I don't understand all of the math and quads in the "new" system so I apologize if this has been asked before.

 

How is Marshall County a 5 going on the road and a hypothetical region runner up, while Page, who would be behind Marshall County in the same region and lost handily to them this year, is a 3 seed at home?  Especially if Marshall Co. finishes with a win on Friday and is 8-2 compared to Page's 7-3.  Thanks in advance.

Looks like your "Natural Quad" and District is being split up due to not enough qualifiers in natural Quad 2 He has Marshall County, closer to the east I guess, moving to Quad 2 to fill space. That would suck because of the number of District 1st and 2nd place qualifiers in Quad 2, thus moving Marshall County down the seeding. If they remain in Quad 3, where they really belong, they could be a 2 seed.

 

But then again all the above might be completely wrong.

Might want to read the quote I responded too about how trezevants D has negative rushing yards for the year and will be hard to run on. It's the same every year in the west until the championship game.

 

I can talk I played for Greeneville for 4 years and held many accolades for the 3 years I started on Defense.
