This will be a good one but I could easily see Halls pulling away late in the game. @HTV thoughts on this one?

I said earlier in the thread I like Central to win by 10ish. 

Halls has some good athletes,  but Central has more.

A thousand pardons I didn't catch it. I'm curious how you think see the eastern part of the 5A playoff bracket sorting out in each round. I need an Tedtalk HTV style!

Probably true. Central will actually be able to match wits with Cummings, as well. Cummings is known for his Veer but he also calls some great defense as well! Always has!

Central seems to have a way of stumbling thru the season and then blowing the playoffs up, so since it's late in the year I'm going with Central big

I'm on vacation in Florida, so I am not going to take the time to do that right now. 

 

Bottom line:  

 

I'd be really surprised if it's not whoever of Central/West comes out of the Regions 1/2 side vs Powell in the semis.

Fox, I'll weigh in. I think West and Central have to be the favorites to meet in the QFs out of the region 1/2 quad. Powell and Rhea County are probably the QF favorites to meet in the 3/4 quad. It's anyone's guess from there. West and Central play in week 11, so that'll be an interesting playoff preview.

I've got the Red Devils +10. Central has three cupcake wins over Cocke Co, Heritage, and Hardin Valley. I know they beat the South Doyle media darlings but they're overhyped in my opinion. Halls is only a few touchdowns away from being undefeated, their record is misleading.

Same thing, if Boone could have scored a few more TD's.... come to think of it, aren't all teams a few TD's away from being undefeated?

I'd feel more comfortable with a 2 score win, I'm going 28-14 Central.

halls has lost every game by 10 points or less. This isn’t going to come down to the last 2 possessions IMO

[Czar]

I think this is the most intriguing matchup of the week. Halls has been playing very sound defense all year and are going up a great Central offense with playmakers at RB and at WR. Halls has a solid offense and a great offensive mind in Coach Scott Cummings. However, on the flip side... Coach Nick Craney does an excellent job with the Central defense and has for many years. If I weren't going to the Carter v South Doyle game, this would be the game I would attend and watch out for. Plenty of food eating in the Fountain City area and surrounding spots. Obviously, you can't go wrong with Litton's.

Boy, Halls has a ton of yards in this game, but they can't finish a drive.
