Wondering how I am going to attend the Bradley @ Farragut and Bradley at Knox Central games at the same time...

Just go to West High. You'll be right in the middle of both.

Why do you think 6A DB beats 4A Betsy?

Big Daddy your 100% right. My bad I will make a change. I was so tired I was thinking they both played Mo West but haven't. Thank you for catching that.

Sometimes I change 1 or 2 of these if someone brings something to my attention. First I've got everyone finally going to the right ballgame and second I changed the D-B and Elizabethton game. 2 more that bother me is the Sweetwater game and the Meigs and McMinn central game.

I am doing a picking contest amongst some friends and the Meigs-McMinn Central game may be a much closer contest than usual. I have Meigs winning by 7, but Coach Moody is moving the Chargers in the right direction and Meigs does not appear to be the juggernaut they usually are in the area.

Can you guys give a score prediction on Betsy @ DB?                I like Elizabethton winning something like 21-14

Computer model says Betsy 24-17

Ordinal linguistic synthesis theory parsing with regression analysis using A=1, B=2, C=3, etc. yields:

ELIZABETHTONCYCLONES = 233 = 2 + 3 + 3 = 8
DOBYNSBENNETTINDIANS = 229 = 2 + 2 + 9 = 13

Now we could argue for using the longer official name for Betsy...

ELIZABETHTONFIGHTINGCYCLONES = 313 = 3 + 1 + 3 = 7
DOBYNSBENNETTINDIANS = 229 = 2 + 2 + 9 = 13

In either case DB wins 13-8 or 13-7, but I disagree with this outcome.     Your computer model is probably more accurate

This was a tougher week with so many coin flip games. 45 games this week. Usually on Sunday on a list like this picking 18-20 games that are 100%'ers then on Monday I can knock out another 12 to 14 then the next day I come down to 4-6 before I put this up. I love reading a lot of you all's comments which help on things I don't know especially the smaller schools.

 

38-7 this week for an 84.4% This week last year was 30-7 for 81%

Not quite as strong as last week but still a pretty good showing. A play away from being almost exactly correct on the Maryville score. Did not realize West had best 2 offensive players out. On to the next week Barney!
