[BoardHater71]

Who will be primed to make a run in 2017?

[BatmanDevil]

If this year wasn't a good enough example of what being a favorite can do for you,then we better all keep looking back.The 4 teams to beat in 4a,all got beat.The 2 teams to beat in 6a,got beat.The team to beat in 5a,got beat and was winning 35-7.Alcoa almost got beat and that was a sure bet not to happen in 3a.Now,in the East however.I have to like my Devils and Elizabethton to be somewhere at the top.Never know about middle and West TN.Never count championships until the gold is in your hands.

Agreed!

 

6A- Maryville & Oakland

5A- Independence & Cane Ridge

4A- Knoxville Catholic, Greeneville, Fulton, Pearl-Cohn

*3A- Alcoa survived an Ellizabethton scare*

2A- Adamsville

 

There were a bunch of "can't miss" picks that were shocked this postseason.

Isn't PC in 3A now? I can't see Cane Ridge being as good as this past year. They're losing a lot on offense.

That list was referring to teams that were upset in the playoffs this past postseason. I do think Pearl will be a monster in 3A. If Milan thought that Liberty had athletes they are about to be in for a huge surprise.

I've always thought PC would have more playoff success. Weren't  they 3A from 05-11 ? Did they make it to the finals in any of those years?

Nope. Hard to believe they went almost 20 years between state title appearances (1996/97 until 2015).

They have been to the state semifinals 5 times from 2006-2016 but only reached the title game 1 time out of the 5 trips.

He was referring to the 49 to 14 beat down PC gave Liberty this past year. PC is 3a now and should be tougher than liberty was while in 3a
