Very true. But I’d go out a limb and say that those 3-4 in the west are significantly better than the 3 in the east 

What’s so fun (& frustratingly heartbreaking) about all competitive things is that the significantly better teams/ person doesn’t always win! Awful for the favorite who lost, awesome for the winning underdog. .. Let’s line ‘em up, turn ‘em loose, & see what happens!

With McEwen losing to Gleason, if McKenzie takes care of Bruceton Friday, the Rebs will secure 1st.  So it should be Rebs, Dresden, McEwen, Gleason/South Fulton.

The last two years have proved this.

I think I agree with you. It appears the top teams in the west have a lot of D1 type talent on the rosters.  Does anyone  know if any team in the east has even one player that fits that description?

I don't think so.

I can't see McEwen beating South Fulton the way SF has been moving the ball. Their D is not tough, but their offense can really spread the field and score faster than the run 1st style of McEwen. SF playing Gleason the last game of the year will be a fantastic matchup to determine #3 & 4. My guess is McEwen not making the final cut.

Thank you for your work on this bracket. A lot of these are known already and some are still fighting, but for me for sure, I know nothing about teams of the East. Helps me put it into perspective. 

Would it be a big shocker to see Region 7 win all 4 games? Has this happened before?

Peabody, Lake and Halls all could win.   Not sure about WC.  With MASE athletes, I am not sure WC can hang.

No problem. 

Yes there are some regions that aren't quite set & coming down to the wire.

I've noticed your prior post on region 6 McEwen & South Fulton.  I'll have to revisit the standings in that one.

Last year the Memphis area was swept in Class 1A playoffs.

2021 region 7 swept region 8.

2020 there were no Region 8 teams.  Region 7 received 1st round byes.

That's my question too with, an unknown to me, MASE team. I saw WC in a preseason scrimmage, they were a very hyper scrappy bunch, especially on defense. The offense was still trying to find a rhythm, but they were close & that's what scrimmages are for any ways. I have no idea if they are a young team or what, but I really expected them to make some noise as they seemed to be well coached & ready to start the season. Not win it all, but win more of the games they've let slip away. They are local, so I'll root for them.
