Pulling for Crocket and Boone to make it to the Quarters, it would be the first time ever for a Musket Bowl 2.0

I agree. They are my pick to get to the semifinals.

Brighton usually has trouble getting past the first round.

Boone should make semis and it depends which Tennessee High team shows up for them to advance. Some games they’ve clearly dominated and some not so much.

Appreciate the vote of confidence, but a lot of things have to come together for us to make it..... starting with beating Central in R1.    Boone has never beaten a Knoxville team, so this would be a first.     I would say Boone/Central is 50-50

That goes for any team though. If Boone plays the way they are capable and the way they did against THS they will be tough to handle. Pulling for the local guys until we play each other, if that were to happen.

Catholic will be hard to beat. Especially if that stud RB is back.

[Rhea Co.]

I have a feeling the Gold Ball is coming back to a team in Region 4 or 3 this year. It all just depends on who can stay healthy and playing good football at the right time.

We have not won a playoff game since 2010, our current players were little kids then.     So I just hope they are not getting psyched out because we have to play a Knoxville team.    A lot of the fans are already figuring Central wins simply because they are from Knoxville, and that is what teams from Knoxville do ---   WIN.              (Disclaimer:     HS only, does not apply to SEC teams from Knoxville).

Just looking at the brackets, if we both make it then we would meet in the Quarters.     Scary, because of the parallels back to 2012

Those Catholic North fellers that aint offering no financial incentives to play will be difficult to beat baring a major upset of the apple cart. No 5A school has the horses to match them Catlick North Fellers, but with the Butch Jones recruitin' spree coming to an end, the time is about over for those Catlick fellers.
