I still think McCallie is the team to beat in D2-AAA.  Other than SBA, I think any given Friday. 

Indeed...I think McCallie has Ryan circled on the calendar after last year.

I may find my way to MBA on Friday as Pope travels to Baylor.  Haven't been in the MBA stadium since the renovations.

I suggest getting there early.  No offense to Pope, but Ryan/MBA was the game for "Elliston Place" Ryan grads.  Fans on both sides glad to see this on the schedule again.  MBA renovations- if you don't get stary-eyed....nothing will impress you!

Can't remember the last time MBA has struggled with the beginning part of the season. Granted, they have had a tough first 4 games, but this is an uncommon happening.

I understand the history and tradition FRHShas with MBA, much larger than with Pope.

It will be interesting to see what a $90M bequest gets you these days.  I did see some of the construction last spring when we traveled to MBA for baseball.

Does not get any easier for the Big Red with FRHS, BA, Pope, Baylor and Knox Catholic still on the schedule.

Give me:

BA

FR (upset)

Pope

Briarcrest

MUS (upset?)

McCallie

PP- other than BA over SBA, I think the rest of these games can go either way.

I agree with MUS being the exception.  I think they win by 10+.

Think Ensworth is still suspect or MUS that strong?

Ensworth’s run game the past two weeks has shown up. They have a much bigger line than they have the past 3 years. Moving the ball much better between the tackles. They have a very dangerous offense and if they get in a groove early at best you can expect a shoot out. 
 

I believe this one is a much closer game than some believe. I’ve got Ensworth coming out the victor at home.

I haven't seen Ensworth live this year but know that Gray is a mauler up front.  Besides the OSU commit, I am not sold on their secondary.  They have a lot of speed but they are shorter than most and MUS has some WRs in the 6'2+ range.  The win over CBHS shocked me, but looking at CBHS schedule results I believe they may have been ranked higher than they should have been.

Two good games in West Nashville tonight!

Isn't it weird that the best teams in AAA are actually playing in AA. (LA and CPA)
