Round 1: Bearden at McMinn County.

[hohmaster]

This will be the second time this season these two teams play. McMinn won the first meeting 37-13 in late September.
Who do you think will win this time?

I would love to see McMinn Co win at least 2 games in the playoffs. I think they can handle Bearden.

Is the Bearden quarterback healthy? I know in the first game he had just come back and was a little rusty it looked like.

Bearden can't stop the run. Farragut ran the ball against them with an 8th string running back that isn't even a RB. QB only has eyes for #1 seldom looks for any other receiver. It is the playoffs so anything can happen but if Farragut can run against them ANYBODY can. The only time they made any plays on offense against Farragut where busted plays that the QB just threw the ball up before getting sacked and against Farragut's very bad DBs they would result in a big play. Other than a couple of those plays Bearden couldn't move the ball.

Bearden is my pick with the QB being back.

McMinn by 20 and Hunt goes for 150+

If stopping the run is a problem, then McMinn is not the team you would want to see coming.

I haven't been on the T in a while.... probably since the McMinn Central game. I remember after that game that guy "catch'n'burn" called some of our players out and our coach and also stated that we wouldn't beat Bradley, and that we would also go like 4-6....REALLY glad we proved that wrong.

I couldn't be prouder of the season we have had. It has been a sweet surprise, and I have that same feeling that I had back in 2011 and 2012. I think we can make a little run in the playoffs. I am proud of the TRIBE!!!!!!

Defiantly did more this year than I thought.  I actually was looking for them to have their year next season.  The Kees have done a great job of handling what was in front of them.

The Kees with the win BC done a good job this year.

McMinn has a tough rushing attack. I was in Chattanooga on business back in October and had the chance to catch the Cleveland game. The RB for McMinn is a tough runner to stop. Defensively, they were stingy and tried to keep everything in front of them. The RB was a force in the defensive backfield as well. Excited to see how R1 & R2 bracket plays out and see who goes to Maryville for Rd 3. I pray this is a safe and hard-fought game on both sides tonight.
