It is October and the regular season is starting to wind down. Each team has played 6 or 7 games and we have an idea of what types of squads will be brought to the playoff table is November. Here is my first poll of 2017 for 3A. 

1. Alcoa- the Tornadoes may not be an F5 this year but they are still the team to beat in 3A. 

2. Pearl Cohn- I would put up the Firebirds schedule against any in 3A. Coach Brunetti and Co. look like a serious contender to return to Cookeville this December.

3. Austin-East- the Roadrunners are putting together a strong campaign and the only blemish on their 2017 slate so far was a close loss to Fulton. Roadrunners must take on the F5 if they want a shot at the gold ball.

4. Raleigh-Egypt- the Pharaohs are putting together a quality season in Memphis. They will have a tough playoff road against some quality region 7 squads if they want a chance to meet Pearl Cohn in the semis.

5. Covington- The Chargers are looking to return to Cookeville and will more than likely need to beat Milan, RE, and PC to do so. 

6. Fairview- the Yellow Jackets have two blemishes on the year but after 50-49 OT loss to Waverly they have shut out three opponents in a row including state ranked Greenbrier.  A showdown with PC looms in the quarters barring an upset.

7. Milan- the Bulldogs have three losses but all three will be playing into late November. You can never underestimate a Coach Morris led squad.

8. Red Bank- Lions seem to be the toughest 3A team in Chattanooga. If they play to potential, they will have a match up with Alcoa in the semis.

9. Giles Co.- the Bobcats have a Division 1 QB which can spell trouble for many HS defenses. Look for Coach O'Conner to have some November magic in Pulaski. They will need to beat both Fairview and PC on the road to get to the semis.

10. South Gibson- Hornets seem to always start strong but struggle come October. Is this the year they right the ship? We shall see.

Next Five Out- Johnson County, Bolivar, Kingston, Loudon, The Squatch

Look forward to some great discussion.

Fairview is a good team but them blowing greenbrier out was no surprise. The Bobcats are severely over rated. Time will show as they will lose to white house and springfield inside their region

Greenbrier will be a 7-3/6-4 football team with a chance of advancing into the second weekend of the playoffs.  They are somewhere between 9-16 in the state in 4A football from what I've been told.  Coach Elmore and his staff are doing an awesome job this year.

They are very overated if in the to 25 period. I am not a hater I have seen them play 2 times and they are not very good. They are winning against bad teams and got blowed out by a good team. Your record you predict falls in line with what i said also but look at the schedule. Region is a cup cake. White house in my opinion is better and so is Springfield and neither of those teams are great. Springfield has the best chances of advancing pase second round if they get their players back healthy. White House will finish undefeated in the region and lose second round. This region is really bad

Gerry, I'm not sure what these boys here in Squatch county have done to be slighted like this.  There ain't no way Squatch co. isn't a top 5 3A team right now. The only real fault I see in this team right now is that we're having to build a bigger locker room on account of how big all the boys hearts are...

 Reading your list kinda reminds me a lot of Clyde, my mechanic;  Untrustworthy.

    • Best-of-three sectional series vs East Robertson at home starting Wednesday.  They put us out last year at this point.  Go Pirates!!
    • I don't believe they have anyone that is surbers caliber but a decent staff overall.
    • Richland plays at McKenzie on Wed.  Should be a good series.  Does Richland have good pitching?  
    • Congratulations to the Warrior baseball team winning the Region Championship.  Last night the football team beat Franklin Co 33-0 in their spring scrimmage. Warriors looked very good. Missing a few players who were playing baseball but still absolutely dominated. A lot of young ones got in halfway through the 3rd when the score reached 33-0. QB Tilton Pickett looked very sharp.  Sam Pickett is on another level this season. Seems to have put on 15 to 20 lbs in the off season and added a step as well. Transfer from last year Williamson caught numerous balls and is very elusive. Lots of athletes on this team. Defense was smothering and will only get better. The head coach from Sewanee was in attendance and offered 2 kids after the game. Could be a special year.
