I won't say that you don't have a chance ... but I don't have Collierville beating Whitehaven in my bracketology selections.

 

In the Region 8 brackets I have Southwind, Whitehaven, East, and Ridgeway all winning their games on Saturday, Feb. 25. Then I have Southwind beating Whitehaven and East beating Ridgeway on the following Tuesday, Feb. 28. I have East beating Southwind on the following Thursday, Mar. 7.

 

In the Region 7 brackets I have Brighton, Bolton, Cordova, and Arlington all winning their games on Saturday, Feb. 25. Then I have Brighton beating Botlon and Cordova beating Arlington on the following Tuesday, Fe. 28. I have Cordova beating Brighton on the following Thursday, Mar. 7.

 

So, according to my braketology for Regions 7 and 8, I've selected East to host and beat Brighton on Mon., Mar. 6, to get a spot in the state tournament, coming out of the Region 8 bracket. Conversely, I have Southwind traveling to Cordova to see who gets the other spot in the state tournament out of the Region 7 bracket. I selected Southwind to win that game.

 

So I have East and Southwind as the two team from the Memphis area that make it into the state playoffs.

Alrighty then. Round 1 is done and my picks all went according to my selections. Round 2 on Tuesday. It gets trickier the deeper it gets. I have to admit. Region 7 was a bit tougher to pick then Region 8.

Whitehaven shot the ball well Saturday night and we couldn't get a couple to fall so we are done.   I do not see them beating Southwind if they don't shoot that well again.  We saw 3 games and they had only made 4 3s total and they made 7 or 8 the other night.  Southwind is just bigger and more physical inside than we are and they should be able to win.   Ridgeway is the next victim of Penny Prep School.

All in all a good season for Collierville. Whitehaven and Southwind will be a good one tomorrow. So will Ridgeway and East. Tough match-ups all around.

I think Southwind and Whitehaven has a chance of being a good one But East and Ridgeway will be a rout East will win by Double Digits. Beans and Crutcher will have to play out their minds for it not to be.And thats nothing against Ridgeway. East is just that much better

I think the hardest job the East coaches have right now is dealing with expectations. These young men know what's at stake. However, they have to deal with the constant barrage of folks telling them that they are the run away favorites.

 

That being stated, I don't think focus will be an issue at this point. There are some folKS that are hating on them, but that is to be expected when you are declared to be a beast ... then you go out and prove every body correct.

 

That's a good problem to have.

East won by 11. However. They were down 10 at halftime. They had to earn this one. Southwind isn't going to be any easier. On the contrary.

It seems that I selected the 2nd round games correctly as well. So now the Thursday games loom large. Southwind at East and Brighton at Cordova. Better get to the East vs Southwind game early if you want a seat.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
