Final reg season game with region title on the line..

THS - 20

Tullahoma has came along way from two years we played them. I think about 3 or 4 years ago, but I'll take Maplewood at home.

Likely the first of two meetings between the two teams.

One reason I liked the Z-plan: Teams from the same Region would be seeded so they would not meet no sooner than the semifinals, If I recall correctly.

I was just thinking that. We just blew the doors off them a few years ago.

You recall incorrectly.   You actually had region opponents matched up in the first round which cannot happen in the current playoff format.  Even had some cases where teams played back to back weeks.

Yep. It happened with Marshall County in 2014. Played Giles County last game of the regular season. Played them the very next game in round 1.

Who would have imagined that Tullahoma would have competed for a region title?  Looking back on their season, I recall going to the Marshall County game in what turned out to be a dome rattler between two good football teams.  I would still consider Tullahoma's win over MC an upset, but nevertheless, it apparently propelled Tullahoma to make a pretty good run thus far.  A friend from Tullahoma's staff says that the difference has  been how physical they(Tullahoma) are.  He also says that Maplewood is loaded with team speed, as most would suspect.  Good luck to both teams.  Win or lose, each of those two teams will host a 1st round playoff game against that region from the Plateau.  I don't see either one of those two teams struggling against a Cumberland Co., Dekalb Co., or a Macon Co.

No problem, partner.   There were some things about the Z plan I liked as well.
