Class A Final 8

[FootballFan51]

Who are the favorites to make it to the Class A Championship game? 3 teams from Chattanooga area are in it. Silverdale & Meigs Co. both have a shot at it. They are the two highest ranked on the Coach T rankings, which factors in strength of schedule. Marion Co. did beat Silverdale once, but Silverdale seems to be on a roll lately.

Anyone know much about who is favored from Middle & West TN?

Midway High is there too, and they're just about 15 miles north of Meigs County.  They're the only A team to beat Meigs this year (1-3 overall against Meigs), which shows they're capable of making some noise.  Midway is also coached by a former Meigs County softball player.

I know Meigs and Siverdale aren't in the same Region, but I still wish the TSSAA wouldn't have teams from adjoining Regions in the same bracket, and especially the first game.

From mid state Forrest will be a hard out. They are there every year.

Summertown from middle will be a hard out

It looks like it will be a Chattanooga area Top 3.

Marion County had the easiest draw (opposite bracket from Silverdale & Meigs) & will finish Top 3.

Meigs & Silverdale should play for the Championship tomorrow, but Marion Co. will have a chance to be in there as well.

The winner of the Midway-Silverdale game will get the loser of the Meigs-Marion game early tomorrow at 9:00 CST. Whoever wins that will get the winner of the Meigs-Marion game tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 CST and if they win will have to play them again tomorrow afternoon at 5:30 CST for the Championship.

Silverdale in a close 2-1 win over Marion Co. advances to State Championship vs Meigs.

Silverdale made Meigs earn it today, but in the end the Lady Tigers of Meigs County bowed their back and refused to lose, winning the championship game 8-5.  No doubt these are the best two teams in single A.

Two of the best teams in the state, regardless of classification.

Great job by both teams. Great girls and great ball players on both sides.

Would not surprise me to see these two teams in the Championship game the next two years as well.

Considering that Meigs beat CAK during the regular season, and CAK won State in AA, I agree with you!

I don't know much about Silverdale, but Meigs was a predominantly Sophomore-ladened team this year. They lose three Seniors, and I believe they'll only have one Senior next season, so their chances of making it to State look great!
