Congrats to all of the Region 6 teams on advancing in the playoffs tonight.  Region 5 is still a good region it's just tough that they were paired with such a strong region.  

Region 5 has nothing to hang their heads about, tonight's results just validated what most were saying in August... the top 3/4 teams in R/6 were capable of winning a championship barring injuries and surviving their own region to advance. Peabody (last team in) and Adamsville (first team out) could probably have competed for regional titles in most areas in 2A. Eventually this region will be whittled down by one another if nobody outside can knock them off, but whomever makes it to the 'ship will definitely have some battle scars and steady nerves. Iron sharpens iron, and there's still some grinding left to do to see who's left standing.

Anyone else have the feeling R5 was designed to be extremely weak? Don’t forget that both Riverside and Chapel Hill used to be in it. Is anyone surprised that those two teams are no longer in it? I mean, no one would have ever expected Loretto to have a breakout year. Had it not been for them, who would have won R5 this year? Now, I’m not advocating a conspiracy here but, had tradition followed, who would have traditionally won R5 in this region in this set up?

If Loretto has another banner year next year, who will replace them in R5 when they are moved to R6?

Preseason state championships are very important.

Camden played Lewis late in the summer maybe  last week of July or  first week of August ...Milan will destroy them.

Just because Loretto (10-1) and Clarksville (10-1) lost last night doesn't change the fact that they had successful seasons and were good football teams.  

Exactly! This bodes Even for teams with 8-2 and/or 9-1 regular season records such as Hohenwald.

Have to wonder if they scheduled better competition during the season if they would be more competitive and maybe win more in the postseason. Of course, it may also impact the season W/L records.

Actually that's exactly what it means.. Granted "successful" is a term that is subjective. I guess it's relative to the amount of success you're used to having. Really good football teams don't lose in the first round. 

But if you ask this fan bases who are accustomed to winning seasons, they'll tell you regular season wins mean nothing as long as you get enough of them to get into the playoffs. An undefeated team losing in the first round is an upset and underwhelming no matter how you try to spin it. 

I'd bet good money that if you asked players and coaches on that undefeated Loretto team if they're satisfied or happy with that season, 99% of them will say no.

The Region that Clarksville is in is probably the weakest Region in 6A

Yep. You have to schedule a tough out of conference schedule to see where you stack up against competition. You can’t help who is in your region, but you can out of region.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
