Afraid so Blazer... If Tennessee High is up, I could see them beating a 4 seed from Region 2, maybe

It may not be so... I have heard through multiple sources that Cherokee beat Halls pretty bad last week in a scrimmage.  I know it's just spring practice, but don't count out your region too soon!

I would look for Tenn High to be the top team in R1, so the opening game (Aug 17 Tennessee High @ Knox Central) will probably tell us all we need to know about how these regions match up....   Just as a very early and somewhat uninformed guess, I would say Central by 20+

I'm gonna pick Cherokee early and often. QB stays healthy--  good player

Tennessee highs success depends on if their Off. coordinator stops trying to make his family members on the team the stars. They have many good athletes that are underused because of politics. The coaching at THS is honestly sorry.

I don't know anything specifically about the Vikes, but what you are saying seems to happen at a lot of schools.    Programs like Maryville have seemed to find a way around it so that they can produce consistently winning programs.

How is Carter looking and what type of offense are they running?

Any scrimmage reports from 1-5A?

After seeing your preseason scrimmages, how do you feel about the competition between the two regions now?

That game probably will tell a lot.I also never count out ME before a season starts.Guess I always think of that first state title they won years ago.
