Come playoff time it means...... (drumroll)..... NOTHING !! R1 5A teams always seem to look good in the season but then lay an egg in November. It is just funny that year after year it is the same thing. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see someone cross the Knox county line and make some noise but history and tradition says it is not going to happen....

coopdawg Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 It means someone from NET is going to get spanked by Fulton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it, for that to happen means a R1 team would have to win in the first round. History suggests that is unlikely. But yeah you are right, if someone from R1 did make it to Fulton it would not be pretty..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year, I would hope that someone from R1 can win in the first round. Outside of SD and Central, R2 is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were picking a 26-24 DB mild upset over Alcoa just a couple weeks ago. Now, you have fallen to this? Keep the faith... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the two 6A NET teams tend to choke early in the playoffs as well. Still wondering how Alcoa squeaked by DB, man they must have an awesome squad this year!
