MARSHALL COUNTY at NOLENSVILLE for 2nd place in the region!!!

[sportsguy22]

Marshall County should win handily! Let's go with 31-16. They are the better team this year. It will put them in the opposite bracket of Tullahoma and set up a huge quarterfinal game in Tullahoma for the chance to host Elizabethton (in all likelihood) in the semifinals.

I have heard the same thing!!!! How does the T$$AA even allow that???

Pretty sure their school district has limited their capacity for games and being their home game they can decide how those tickets are dispersed. I do believe they live stream all their games.

Nolensville takes it 35-28.

It was pretty even as I had a hunch it might be.  MC has some good athletes but could use better team discipline.  Lots of penalties kept putting them in holes.  #2 kept them in the game with big kick returns, scoring on 1.  He also juiced their running game.  Otherwise the MC offense was mostly flat tonight.  Nolensville had a good game plan that kept MC's defense off balance most of the night. Expect to see these teams to meet again in 2 weeks.

I would be inclined to think ole tully would be there in two weeks but not sure how this region vs other region will play but them Wildcats should be a hard out.

Maybe I don't have a good grasp of the playoff schedule.  Don't 8 teams go at it from 2 regions?  I expect Tullahoma to be hosting the game in round 3.

If both Tullahoma and Marshall County win they will play at Tullahoma in round 2. Nolensville would not see either of those teams until the quarterfinals.

Got it.  I understand the bracketing now.  That makes last night's game even bigger.  You can't take anything for granted in the playoffs but on paper it looks like Nolensville got the better side of the bracket leading to the Quarters.
