AA Regions 5 and 6 Playoff Picture

I've got a question for anyone that's seen Region 6 play. I will clarify that I don't know anything about Region 6 other than their scores, which doesn't always tell you everything. I definitely believe Waverly is on a level all their now in Region 6. But, I just don't see all the hype over Riverside or Hickman Co.  The reasons are listed below...

Hickman Co. only beat Summertown 14-13. Summertown has been blown out by Lewis Co, CA, & Forrest. Summertown hasn't even scored a TD against those three (28-0, 49-0, & 43-0). 

Hickman Co. got beat 55-7 by Lewis Co in the only head-2-head matchup. 

Hickman Co. got blown out by Franklin Road Academy 48-7. CA beat Franklin Road Academy 56-21 just two weeks prior. 

Riverside only beat Hickman Co. 32-28. 

Riverside only beat Obion County 35-34, but Lewis County beat Obion County 49-24. 

Again, I'm seriously asking and not trying to start anything other than pointing out the wins/loses that seem to favor Region 5 over Region 6 (EXCEPT with Waverly). 

 

I haven't heard any "hype" involving Hickman Co. As for Riverside, they're a tough and talented team. Lexington barely escaped in OT, and they've given a good account in all their other games except Hickman Co. I'm personally not looking for a chance to glorify the Panthers, just giving my thoughts and opinions when they are relevant. It happens that myself and a few others think that Riverside has a good chance to advance through region 5 (not necessarily predicting it, but they have the team to get it done), so if you want to call a few opinions "hype", there's the reason...more than one person has the same opinion concerning the outcome of two games between two regions.

I'm a huge fan of Riverside.  You can't always compare scores when two different teams have played the same team earlier in the season. Things change throughout the season: injuries, improvements, regressions, players move, players are removed from teams, etc. So, although this can be an indicator, you can't always count on it..... 4A Lexington beat the Panthers on a long run near the very end of the game (Lex might still win their region). Riverside won the first half at Waverly but the Tigers beat the Panthers from midway in the 3rd quarter on. (Wavo won their region) If not for these two events, Riverside would be undefeated at this late point in the season........ Riverside has gone to the first or second round each of the past 5 years. This is, by far, the best Riverside team we have had on the field during this stretch. Going in, I feel we can compete with any team from Region 5 or 6. I'm not saying we are going to beat anybody or that Region 6 is stronger than 5. I'm only saying that as a fan of high school football in general for many years, Riverside is loaded for bear and will make some noise in the playoffs where ever they go or who ever they play against. No, they are not ranked and they hardly ever get mentioned on Jackson's 5th Quarter, and are never covered by any Nashville media, but they will come to play.

Thanks... I wasn't trying to set anyone out with my post. The hype wasn't meant for the ones I quoted either.  I was really wanting the insight because I have not seen them and could only have a prediction based on the scores.

I have tried to do that with the scores but it just can't really be done. A lot of people make that same mistake. Look at region 7 for example TCA beat Adamsville and McKenzie but lost to Union city and Peabody. Union city got smashed by Adamsville and squeeze one out on McKenzie in the LAST minutes of the game. Peabody lost to McKenzie but smashed TCA which I picked TCA to win that one (long story) and now they have to beat the Ville this Friday to make in the playoffs so you can't go by the scores of the games.

If Waverly is better than Adamsville and UC we should just go ahead, cancel the playoffs, and give them the Gold Ball. 

Riverside plays physical which is conducive to playoff ball. Much respect to them.

Waverly is 14+ better than those two. I have seen them all play.

I didn't say they wasn't a good team as a matter of fact I think they are the ones that will make it to the semi since TCA is down. UC is the 3rd best team in R7. I have seen them all my friend

I cannot wait to see this Waverly team in person. Ask the Marion folks, if they are all that I will absolutely give credit where it is deserved.
