Appears this might be the year for Metro to get a Gold Ball! 2008 Hillsboro was the last. It's been too long. What team will be PC's biggest challenge?

I think the Burros can make a little noise if they play their A game. Stratford could get to round 2. Antioch has an opportunity to win a playoff game which hasn't happened in a little while. East Nashville has home field throughout, so they have a great opportunity for a deep run. Hope these metro squads have a Thanksgiving practice!

IMO, Pearl-Cohn's biggest challenges will be Station Camp in the 2nd Round and Marshall County in the 3rd Round.  I say that because both teams have already seen PC this season and sometimes it's a huge mental advantage when you've seen someone previously and aren't just in awe of them the second time around. 

Coach Tony Brunetti's (165-64 Overall Record As Head Coach) team has a great opportunity to become the first team in school history to go 15-0.  The 2019 team went 14-1 before falling to Alcoa in the championship game.  The 1997 team also went 14-1 with the lone blemish on their mark being a season opening one point defeat against MBA.

Question for the metro followers: 

What is the reasoning behind Lawson HS choosing to move up from 4A to 5A to play football?  I assume they could have played 2 years at 4A and then when their enrollment went up, they could be more competitive in the 5A classification. Doesn't seem like they have the kid's best interest when making this decision. Perhaps I am missing something.

So I asked this question years ago why PC and Hillwood don’t play and was told it’s the powers to be and old money. I’ve also heard some old heads talk about it but it’s an underline reason why PC & Hillwood/Lawson hasn’t played games Or jamborees against each other over the years. Even when they was in the region with pc they didn’t want to play. I wasn’t shocked when they chose to play up but they would have still probably been home against Station Camp. I agree with you it wasn’t the best decision but hey they’re building. They won the city championship for the first time ever.

Bone to pick:  So I heard a media member sent out an email out about playing rap music at football games. From my understanding it was a problem with him listening to the radio version of rap songs because the radio blanked words out and said the kids shouldn’t be listening to it in the first place….This is ridiculous….Im sorry majority of the metro kids don’t warm up to Katy Perry Dixie Chicks or Def Leppard. We listen to what we listen to.

I'm calling Coach Brunetti tonight and requesting David Allen Coe's greatest hits next Friday at 6:10 for about 50 minutes prior to kickoff.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
