Don’t know - but would you rather drive to Knoxville and play West or stay home and play Cannon County in your season opener?

So it fell through for a considerably weaker opponent?

Do you blame them that early

I don't know the details, but if a game is agreed and then somebody backs out (and it's not for COVID?), then thats sketch.

Not at all. I'd rather beat the Lions than face the Rebels any day.

Imagine if Walker Valley takes out Powell and West in the first 2 rounds of the playoffs.

Yes, let's imagine.  Best I can tell they have one common opponent. LC.

 

WV41  - LC 0

 

West 65-  LC 20

 

45-40 Margins of victory... 

 

WIll this be a 5 point game? (Or even 8 since west gets the Homefield advantage?)

I'm from West TN and to be honest I never even heard of Walker Valley. It sounds like it would be an amazing underdog story though to take out Powell and West in the first 2 rounds of the playoffs. No disrespect to any West fans at all but from a neutral poster on this thread it would be pretty amazing.

It would absolutely be an amazing story. Their win against Powell was only WV's second playoff win ever, and I think this was also their first time hosting a playoff game (they may have hosted back when they were in 3A, although I don't remember).

Interestingly enough, their only other playoff win was back in 2016 when they stunned top-seeded Oak Ridge.

Yep.... the 4 seed upset Tee Higgins and company.

The story would be even better if Rhea County finds a way to beat Oak Ridge on Friday along with a Walker Valley win. They were up 28-14 on Rhea in Evensville with about 5 minutes left in the game only to have a complete collapse and lost 31-28. Making that trip back to Evensville to avenge their last loss of 2020 for a shot in the Semifinals would definitely make for a dang good story.
