MCFAN3 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 The region stays the same except Upperman joins in on the fun. Unlike the past 4 years, teams will need to win more than just one game to make the playoffs this year. The front-runner and favorite is Upperman to most people. However, MC and DC may have something to say about that. I expect LA and Stone to compete for the fourth seed spot in this region this year. Will Cumberland be able to surprise and shake up the region this year? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crow6424 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 I would believe Upperman should be loaded but I haven’t heard anything on them from the scrimmages/practices. It’s really up in the air until a few games are played in order to gage the teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to playing y’all guys again on the gridiron! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpperCumberlandMan Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Upperman is big in the line and deep. They have over 70 dressed out. I counted 9 kids in the line over 230lb up to 300lb returning from Max rooster in 2020. The big sr 6'5 250 DE/TE is getting lots of mid level D-1 and OVC type offers. Junior fb is like 6'3 240 and plays the other DE. JR tail back is dynamic and also a solid LB. They have one sr WR/DB who was all state last season. Key is the qb. Kid played 50 percent of the snaps last season and is athletic but a little inconsistent. UHS dominated a good Dekalb team last year and didn't lose much. I give MC a fighting chance because they return probably the best and most experienced QB in the district. Macon needs to be able to handle team speed and size when they face UHS. The Bees are comparable to Nolansville in my opinion. Two semi finals and around 10 playoff wins in last 7 seasons is a pretty proven track record. They have a three year back to back to back region championship streak going, but 4a is a diffrent beast.

The Macon vs Upperman game may be for the region title. it’s in Baxter on Oct 1st Edited July 15, 2021 by crow6424 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see our rivalry as big as our rivalry against Smith and Trousdale. MC seems to have more speed this go around. I’m curious to how our line will be this year. From the people I’ve talked to, we are pretty big upfront. As long as MC gets the job done in week 3 against DC, Oct. 1st should be the region championship game.

I think they are going to give teams fits this year with some of the talent they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a former Cookeville and Upperman assistant coach is the head coach and former Upperman player on the staff.
