The new Class 5A Region 5


Recommended Posts

Tullahoma and Shelbyville appear on a collision course to meet in week 11 in Bedford County for the region title. If so, both will have already sealed at least one home playoff game. They both have business to take care of first, but they are certainly favored to do so.

Columbia is looking solid at #3. They join Tullahoma, Franklin Co., and Spring Hill with open dates this week. The Lions only remaining region game is Lincoln Co.

Lawrence Co. has Shelbyville and Franklin Co. remaining. Lincoln has Shelbyville and Columbia. Franklin has Lawrence and Spring Hill left.

I'm giving the edge to Franklin Co. to jump Lawrence and Lincoln and grab that 4th spot.

I'm pulling for chaos. There is a possibility that Columbia, Law Co, and Linc Co all finish with a region record of 3-3.

In this scenario...

Law Co beat Linc Co

Columbia beat Law Co

Linc Co beat Columbia

I wonder which squad would be the odd man out as two of the teams would get in the postseason. 

This scenario probably won't unfold but would make things interesting. 

Good luck to everyone in these final weeks.

Lincoln County is capable of  beating Columbia. Franklin County and Columbia were tied 6-6 late in the 4th quarter, Franklin County self destructed and fumbled on there goal line leading to a touchdown by Columbia, then later went for it on 4th down deep in there territory, that lead to another Columbia touchdown they won 18-6. Franklin County plays at Lawrence County in two weeks, must win for both teams to remain in contention. Both Lawrence County and Lincoln County have Shelbyville remaining on the schedule.

D. The following tie-breaking procedures shall be applied and all regular-season games, both region and non-region, shall count (After each of the following steps have been applied, item C above shall be applied.): 1. The team with the greatest number of victories. 2. The team who plays the greatest number of teams who win 50 percent or more of their games. 3. The team who has the greatest number of victories over teams winning 50 percent or more of their games. 4. The team whose opponents have earned the most victories. 5. The team whose opponents have received fewer defeats. 6. Coin Flip.

I don't like this rule because it encourages teams to play weak non-region schedules. I think No. 3 should be the first tiebreaker. Just my opinion.

Two weeks left...

Tullahoma, Shelbyville battling it out for the top spot, but both are in regardless. 

Columbia could lose their last region game and still get in due to the tiebreakers that have been mentioned previously on the thread so two questions...

1) Who do you have winning the region?

2) Who takes the 4th and final spot?

1. Shelbyville

2. Tullahoma

3. Columbia

4. Lawrence County

 

Tullahoma should beat Spring Hill next week, if they lose to Spring Hill , then lose to Shelbyville it could get crazy. Lawrence County will have to beat Franklin County next week. I watched there game against Shelbyville last night. They probably played there best game of the season. I don't know if Shelbyville was flat or not, they didn't play a good game. If Shelbyville plays like that against Tullahoma. Tullahoma  will win the region. Columbia has only one more region game, against Lincoln County . They should beat Lincoln County and finished third. I they lose then  it could get get crazy. Also Shelbyville has Lincoln County at home next week, then Tullahoma the following week.

I got Tullahoma over Shelbyville.  The golden eagles have given up 184 points to opponents so far. Tullahoma has given up 92 points.  The difference in the defence alone makes this a mismatch on paper. The Lawrence county game on Friday was a telling sign that Shelbyville isn't ready for prime time just yet. The Tullahoma defence will be much more of a factor than Lawrence county was. After listening to last Friday nights game I honestly thought that Tullahoma would have had the mercy clock running on the Golden Eagles. I wasn't this confident in week 2 but now that things have sorted themselves out I have Tullahoma as region  champs and winning at least 2 playoff games this season. They make it past Hillsboro and one more region 6 team before hitting a wall. I hope they surprise me and i have to make the long drive to Henry County  to settle the west.

No Tullahoma player, coach, parent, fan, bystander, band member, etc., should overlook Spring Hill this week.

Coming off the open date, on the road, Shelbyville next on the schedule, Spring Hill's record. All these combined indicate Tullahoma's trip to Spring Hill has all the makings of a trap game for Tullahoma.

I'm not predicting a Spring Hill upset because I have faith this Wildcat team can get it done. All three phases have come together in recent weeks. 

Don't overlook the Raiders.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
