I will take MBA by 10+ points.  Defense holds McCallie to 14 points, while Reed accounts for 2 TDs.  Ground and pound picks up another TD at minimum and maybe a defensive score.  MBA puts up 28 at the

Tough to say since the freshman QB wasn’t leading the offense for MBA. I would give a slight nod to MBA.  Both have stout defense, both are healthy-ish.  If it comes down to special teams, PC has the

I'm a McCallie fan (just to be clear). Don't know much about MBA except they are in the final game. It does seem like MBA is trending a little more positive than McCallie.

It is also very difficult to beat the same high quality team twice in this division.

Not sure if BJ Harris will play Thursday. He could be the difference maker.

Bottom line - close game all the way. Team with less mistakes will win. Of course.

Heart - McCallie 31 MBA 27

Head - Pick-em.

Lots of weapons on the offensive side for McCallie, but MBA has proved throughout this season that they know how to shut those key pieces down. The most points they allowed all season was 24 against Briarcrest, which was prior to starting Marcel Reed at QB. While MBA has been on a roll since that game (despite the monsoon loss to Baylor which they avenged), McCallie is still probably the more complete team top-to-bottom. Don't expect this game to be high scoring at all; both teams may not get more than 24 points Thursday night.

History isn't on their side for McCallie however. Since 1993, MBA is 22-2 against McCallie, with the Big Blue's wins both coming in the years they advanced to the State Title game (both were the score 34-21). This time it'll be against that same MBA team. Learning from last year, it seems like the key this year will be ball security, as well as who controls momentum and possession. Hopefully this game will live up to the hype.

Prediction: Toss-up

Tough to say since the freshman QB wasn’t leading the offense for MBA. I would give a slight nod to MBA.  Both have stout defense, both are healthy-ish.  If it comes down to special teams, PC has the edge.  #3 for PC is special and easy to overlook.  You will see him in Cookeville.....I think he is smaller than his stats from an unathorized site suggest and is closer to 5’5 and 130-140 lbs.  Will be the fastest feet on the field and if Alcoa gets a clean hit on him they will be the first to do so.

      He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons

      A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that.

      Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
