This looks to be dead right. Its a shame TSSAA drags their feet so long in releasing the brackets. Good job Erik, and thanks for all you for the Farragut program. I have watched the replays all season and have enjoyed every minute of your commentary. 

[ErikG]

Thanks so much for the comments. I thoroughly enjoy Friday nights (and the occasional Thursday)!

Like two years ago when McMinn and Bradley played week 10 and then turned around and opened the playoffs against one another, you have above Riverdale and Smyrna for the 2nd straight week (though this one would be at Riverdale). Cookeville and LaVergne would be for the 2nd time in 3 weeks (again, with a different host this time).

I think Independence gets shipped to quad 4. They have been sent there multiple times before when there weren't enough teams in that area. I see no reason why they wouldn't do it again

Mark thanks for all you do for high school football and other sports .

I was just basing the make-up of Quad 3 off which school is farther east (Rossview or Independence). Besides not wanting to move a school more than 1 natural quadrant, I was thinking that the next stated consideration by the TSSAA is the east-to-west geography. As far as travel time goes, you're right. So if that happens to be the decision, it produces the following Quads 3 and 4. 

 

Quad 3

#8 Cane Ridge (Station Camp possible here w/o affecting other matchups)  (WC, 5-5)

#1 Ravenwood (#1, 10-0)

 

#5 Overton (#2, 6-4)

#4 Rossview (#2, 7-3)

 

#6 Centennial (WC, 8-2)

#3 Franklin (#2, 8-2)

 

#7 McGavock (WC, 8-2)

#2 Hendersonville (#1, 9-1)

 

Quad 4

#8 White Station (WC, 4-6)

#1 Whitehaven (#1, 10-0)

 

#5 Independence (WC, 6-4)

#4 Memphis Central (WC, 7-3)

 

#6 Collierville (WC, 6-4)

#3 Houston (#2, 9-1)

 

#7 Bartlett (WC, 5-5)

#2 Arlington (#1, 8-2)

As an East TN guy there's not much here in the opening round that grabs me (especially compared to what could be if we just continued with the 3-class regular season into the playoffs), but a potential 2nd round game where Maryville faces Hardin Valley -- the defense it most struggled against to generate big plays or to score TDs against in the red zone -- is somewhat intriguing and, of course, a potential 2nd round rematch for D-B at Science Hill.

I'm thinking as of now that it will be Maryville-Whitehaven in the Blue Cross Bowl. The semis will be:

Maryville-Dobyns Bennett

 

Whitehaven-Hendersonville

I think those semi-final matchups you mentioned could take place -- and with great interest across the state -- but would instead be quarterfinals. Wouldn't at all be surprised if you're right about the 6A title game.

At least you're in a better situation than Walker Valley. You don't have to play Maryville in the 1st round.
