Definitely a huge difference in talent.

This is why West TN typically does not fare well in playoff and championship time - other than a few dominant schools in Shelby county.

4A vs 6A is likely more appropriate the reason than the "middle Tennessee advantage "

I dare say 3A Alcoa or 4A Knox Fulton or Knox Catholic can compete with most 6A schools.

There are always a few exceptions and outliers...

I see Oakland winning it all this year

You can say that, but I don't ever remember a West TN team in 3A and up doing well in the championship game. I'm sure there is probably one, but West TN just dosent have the same ball as Mid or East.

 

Haven and Station are obviously great programs. Other than those 2 I can't think of any other good teams.

OK

I was honesty hoping you or somebody could give me some good examples of good teams in West. I wasent looking for an argument.

I would be very surprised if anyone beats them. I would never count Rebels out as I have not seen them play. If they are better than this team then major props to them.

You have to play perfect to beat the Maryville system. It's their title unless you take it from them.

Major respect to Maryville for sure. You can bet they are always ready to play in any game and they are the standard of excellence in TN for High School football. The discipline and schematics they execute have been absolutely outstanding over the years. However, I have watched a ton of Ruco county football and playoff football over the years and I believe this is the best team I have seen. Specifically on the defensive side of the ball. That's not an easy statement coming from a Blackman fan but I believe it. I may eat crow come playoff time and I will gladly accept it if I am wrong. I don't think anyone will beat this team.
