Beech and Summit I’m sure. Don’t sleep on Shelbyville and that running game. 

I agree on those first two. I do not think Shelbyville is capable of making it all the way. They are a solid team but not there yet. Give them one more year under the new coach and I believe they could have a better shot. Beech looks good this year and summit is solid as long as the two brothers are playing.  I don't believe summits defense will be good enough to make it but they did pull through last year.

I agree that Shelbyville may not have the defense yet to make a huge run, but they have improved. In the playoffs when the weather is cold, though, that rushing attack is going to be tough to handle. Just keep in mind that they are set up for the playoff-type games and they are dangerous. It's too bad Summit and Shelbyville did not play...that would have been a knock down-drag out battle! Who knows? They may meet in the quarterfinals yet again.

I would've been a good game to see how good both teams really are. Shelbyville will be tough if the games are close but if they are behind it will be interesting to see how they respond. Crazy thing is last year everyone thought the beech district was the better one and they almost got swept by this district. It will be interesting to see how it plays out this year.

Agreed. Especially with the way the brackets will set up. The best two teams in Region 6 are Beech and Hillsboro and they will be in the same bracket with Shelbyville. Meanwhile, Summit basically has a cake walk through two rounds. Too bad Gallatin and Hillsboro did not play to determine to 2 seed from Region 6 in a fair way. In my opinion, Hillsboro would beat Gallatin by three touchdowns.

I agree. I believe Hillsboro would've beaten them. Crazy thing is now you never know from week to week who can play due to covid. It will be interesting to see how it gets handled. Already hate to see that about stewarts creek.

Agree that the 3 best teams out west are Beech, HC, and Summit. With Shelbyville and Hillsboro right behind them. I think Beech and HC are the clear favorites  then it's the other 3. Hopefully all 5 teams are healthy and we'll get some tremendous playoff games. But Knox teams have to be the favorites until someone out west beats them.

The big question is will summit be ready to play because they have missed many games due to other teams forfeiting. Summit has only played two teams in the district and neither one of them were shelbyville or page.  Will they be ready? They have only played one game in the month of October. Overall they should be healthy but will they be in game shape?

True...but they get Hillwood first to get the dust off. Then, it’ll be the Page-Gallatin winner, likely Page.

True. Summit really has an easy path till 3rd round. But, it still could hurt them with because they really haven't been battle tested since the beginning of the season. Whoever they would play in the third round will be battle tested right before they play summit.

Agreed. If it’s the Shelbyville-Beech winner, those two will certainly have a lot of experience in tough, close games....even in the playoffs. The winner of that one will have some definite momentum.
