that region is horrible.  they got swept last year and I'm sure they will again this year.

lol...I wouldn't go as far as saying that R3 is horrible, but I will say that  there's no way that they've seen the speed that any of them will encounter this Friday.  The only game I question is whether Marshall Co. can get a W against Stone, but my feeling is that MC will be too athletic for Stone to handle.  At any rate, I do expect R4 to sweep R3.

From the Tennseean

3 Nolensville (6-4) at 2 Macon County (5-5)

When: 7 p.m. Friday

Despite being in just its third year, Nolensville is no stranger to playoff wins. The Knights beat Livingston Academy in the first round of last year’s Class 4A playoffs and nearly knocked off Maplewood the following week. Macon County won three of its final four games to claim a runner-up finish in Region 3-4A.  

Kreager: Nolensville 28, Macon Co. 21
Murphy: Nolensville 21, Macon Co. 14

I believe some crow needs to be put in oven Friday. I believe stone and macon wins over yalls beloved region! Macon has won 3 out of last 4 and upperman would put a whooping on anyone in middle Tennessee so dont count us out this round!

Two out if three wins were against your Region 3 buddy.

 

I'm not sure why you're  bringing Upperman into the discussion . Neither Macon County (nor any other Region 3 4A team) fared well against the Bees. Perhaps their dominance goes to further prove how down Region 3 4A is.  Also, one team's dominance doesn't necessarily translate to others in the area. If that were true William Blount would at least have winnings seasons.

I was just stating that we have had a win streak ( except Upperman) and Macon is far better than early season. And btw Macon beat Portland big the week after Portland beat White House which is always a giant in Nashville area. I'm just sick of everyone overlooking the Cumberland. Yes I know team speed isn't same but I'll take my chances with a well coached team over speed. Speed will win games but coaches can get you rings!

Portland and White House is only big to Portland and White House. That game hasn't been big in the Nashville area for a decade.

I never mentioned speed. I agree that good coaching is a prime ingredient. If speed was all this is necessary Memphis teams would be winning every championships. And Whites Creek would have a top team every year in Metro Nashville.

There is some good football on the Cumberland Plateau. There is just not currently an abundance of it in Region 3 Class 4A.

    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
