I was there as a 11yrs old kid....freezing! Their for about a 4/5 yr span the Jackets had some ballers and very good teams. One game away from a return to the Clinic Bowl during that time. My wife was cousin to Jeremy Thaxton on that team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazer1set Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 For those of you who think that consistently playing better competition makes you a better team, why is Boone not considered the front-runner in 5A? https://www.johnsoncitypress.com/sports/boone-has-faced-states-toughest-football-schedule/article_04915d52-2525-11ec-94b0-43bd1b098108.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every season we play teams like Elizabethton, Greeneville, Science Hill, Dobyns-Bennett, etc.. and still choke in round 1 of the playoffs. I am in the minority here because I am not convinced that playing stiff competition always makes you better, in a lot of cases it beats you down to the point you no longer try.

I agree with that point 100%. You need to have a balance, tough games and winnable games to keep confidence up. Then with the confidence you can win the tougher games later on.

Czar Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Don't count Knox West as a contender. They'll choke in typical Lamar fashion around the 3rd/4th round. @HTV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchMantel Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 I think Munford could be a dark horse out of the west to make some noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is Central both years the Bobcats won State. Maybe Catholic. Last year's State Runner-ups Oak Ridge. I know you know this but do not forget the Knoxville area had many dominant teams lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
