Everybody was picking West last year as the best 5a team all year long........then they played Powell in the Semis. and we know how that went.  Both Powell and West have some work to do before they can meet again.  Not an easy road for either of them to get to the semis. again.  

I don't remember anyone picking West last year.  I do remember that once Powell had a top 5 player enrolled, they were deemed the favorites...

In fact, a quick search revealed this Knox news headline

And I just double checked.  5star picked Powell to win the semifinal matchup.

 

Maybe you should start using some Alpha Brain.  Joe rogan swears by it.

It helped that the #1 player in the country moved to Powell, Tn 2 weeks before the season started mysteriously. West wins it all last year if not for that. Josh Jones isn't helping Powell recruit anymore since he moved out West Knox to Bearden, so Powell better be grateful for that one and only gold ball they have... As for this year, West will run the ball down Powell's throat until Lamar Brown gets tired of running it. Powell may score a few times, will not stop West at all.

I was really worried that this post would put a lot of irons in this fire. What do you think @oridgecat
