Right now If East Ham wins out, Including Sevier Co. and Walker beats McMinn then it would be 

1. East Hamilton 

2. Walker Valley

4. Rhea Co 

If East Ham loses to Sevier, and Beats Rhea Co. and Walker Beats McMinn Co then it is 

1. Walker Valley 

2. McMinn Co. 

3 . East Hamilton 

4. Rhea Co . 

 

If McMinn Co beats Walker Valley and Easy Hamilton beats Rhea Co. it will be 

1. McMinn Co 

2. East Hamilton 

3. Walker Valley 

4. Rhea Co. 
 

if East Hamilton loses to Rhea Co. Iand McMinn Co beats Walker Valley

Region 5-5A will probably go 0-4 in the first round of the playoffs against Region 6-5A. Shelbyville looks like the only team with a chance of a first round win.

So If Tullahoma beats Shelbyville in the final game of the regular season does the picture change?   Do Shelbyville and Tullahoma have a chance to play a second round?  Other than the Stewarts creek game in week one and the fluke loss to a Franklin county team that even they don't know how they won it, Tullahoma hasn't been challenged. The first half of the Rockvale game went to Rockvale but the second half was the Tullahoma team we see today.  I like the Wildcats chances of seeing at least a 3rd week in the playoffs and then the competition might get the best of them.  A few of these kids on this team were on the State championship team in 2021.

First of all Tullahoma needs to beat Spring Hill first, and not be looking ahead  to Shelbyville the following week. If Tullahoma can win there remaining two games they will be region champs. Shelbyville will be the toughest team they play this year. They have  a lot of  offensive weapons, Tullahoma will have to be there best game to beat them. Tullahoma' chances of getting past the first round are slim. They will have to face either Page, Hillsboro, Nolensville or Centennial, these teams are much better than any team in Region 5A

LOL yeah right

IF, Tullahoma wins out, it would be foolish not to give them a chance against Hillsboro. Just my opinion.

If they beat Shelbyville, and win the region they will probably host Hillsboro who will finish 4th in region 6-5A. If they finish second they will play  the third place team at home.

[FHScoachT]

Region 6 

Centennial (7-1 3-0)*

Page (7-1 3-0)*

Nolensville (7-1 3-1)*

Hillsboro (5-3 1-2)

James Lawson (3-5 0-4)#

Glencliff ( 2-5 0-3)

The only match up in this region this week is Glencliff going out of region to play Mt Juliet Christian.  Two weeks will be the region  championship  game between Centennial and Page.

Technically this is not accurate, if Page beats Centennial (Week 9), and Nolensville beats Page (Week 10) there will be a 3 way tie for first.

Love the post though and excited about playoffs!

[PercyPeabody]

I believe out of Region 6, Hillsboro is beatable when it comes to Tullahoma; although, I like Hillsboro's speed! The other three (Centennial, Page, and Nolensville) look very tough. The survivor past the 3rd round of these 3 may very well be a representative in the title game. A region 5 team would have to play flawless to beat one of these 3 with a little help of "a team beating themselves with turnovers and mistakes". Can't wait to see how it all unfolds.

The playoff picture is taking shape and more tickets will be punched this week. Here is the update for the week. 

Big Games this week

Knox Central vs Heritage 

Mo West vs Bearden non-region 

Sevier Co vs East Hamilton-non region 

McMinn Co vs Powell non-region

Knox Halls vs Knox West 

Lenior City vs Oak Ridge 

Centennial vs Page 

*= In the playoffs 

#= out of the playoffs 

$=Region Champion 

Region 1 standings 

Sevier Co ( 7-1 4-0)$

Mo West (4-4 3-1)*

TN High (5-3 2-2)*

Daniel Boone (3-4 2-2)*

David Crockett (3-5 1-3)#

Cocke Co (1-6 0-4)#

Sevier Co and Daniel Boone matched up and Sevier walked away with at least a share of the Region Championship, but more importantly the 1 Seed. Mo West has secured the 2nd seed and a home playoff game with their win over David Crockett. TN High is in the playoffs with their win over Cocke Co. Daniel Boone are also in the playoffs after Friday. TN High and Daniel Boone will play to determine who finished 3rd and 4th in two weeks.  David Crockett is out, even with a win over Sevier Co in two weeks they would lose the head to head tie breaker vs Daniel Boone or TN High. Cocke Co is out of the playoff race. 

Region 2 

Powell (6-2 3-0)*

Knox West (7-1 2-0)*

Knox Halls (7-1 1-1) 

Knox Central (4-4 0-2)

Heritage (3-5 0-3)

Heritage went out of region and picked up a nice non-region win over Lenior City. Now Hertiage and Knox Central will square off on Rivalry Thursday to decide who is going to the playoffs. 

Powell welcomes McMinn Co for a big non-region game in what potentially could be a preview of the semi finals.  Knox Hall and Knox West face off in a critical match up for both teams if they want a home playoff game. For West it’s a chance to go play Powell for the region championship the following week and for Halls it would put them in position to secure 2nd place in the region if they win out. 

Current match up if the playoffs started Friday 

Sevier Co vs Knox Central 

Mo West vs Knox Halls 

Knox West vs TN High

Powell vs Daniel Boone 

Region 3 

Oak Ridge (6-2 2-0)*

Lenior City ( 5-3 2-0)*

Clinton (2-6 1-2)

Campbell Co (3-5 1-2)

Karns (1-7 0-2)

Oak Ridge dropped a tough game to Bearden, but now they must turn their attention to Lenior City for the region championship. Clinton and Karns get together Friday. For Clinton a win and they are in if Karns wins they keep their playoffs hopes alive going into the final week of the season. 

Region 4 

McMinn Co (6-2 4-0)*

East Ham (6-2 3-1)*

Walker Valley (6-2 3-1)*

Rhea Co (4-4 2-2)*

Ooltewah (1-7 0-4)#

Howard (1-6 0-4)#

All teams in this region are playing non-region games this week with McMinn at Powell and East Ham going on the road to Dollyland and Sevier Co. Rhea looks to build some momentum vs Tyner and Walker Valley plays Pure Academy. 

If the playoffs started Friday 

Oak Ridge vs Rhea Co 

Lenior City vs Walker Valley 

East Ham  vs Clinton 

McMinn Co vs Campbell Co 

Region 5 

Shelbyville (7-1 4-0)*

Tullahoma ( 6-2 3-1)*

Columbia (5-3 3-2)

Lawrence Co (3-5 2-3)

Lincoln Co (3-5 2-2)

Franklin Co (1-7 1-3)

Spring Hill (2-6 0-4)#

Shelbyville took care of business with Lawrence Co and now have look to Lincoln Co. A win for Shelbyville will be one step closer to a region championship and would secure a home playoff game. For Lincoln it means keeping their playoff hopes alive going into the final week. Tullahoma goes on the road for a critical region game a win would put them facing Shelbyville for the region championship the following week. Columbia is out of region playing James Lawson before playing Lincoln Co for what could be a playoff spot. Lawrence Co and Franklin play in what is basically an elimination game. Winner keeps their playoff hopes alive. 

Region 6 

Centennial (7-1 3-0)*

Page (7-1 3-0)* 

Nolensville (7-1 3-1)*

Hillsboro (5-3 1-2)

James Lawson (3-5 0-4)#

Glencliff (2-6 0-3)

Centennial vs Page in what could decide the championship for the region for Centennial. If Page wins then that would put them in a position to take the region title the next week verses Nolensville. Nolensville is taking on Summit this week in a non region battle. Hillsboro could punch their ticket to the playoffs with a win over Glencliff. Glencliff needs to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. 

If they playoffs started Friday 

Shelbyville vs Hillsboro

Tullahoma vs Nolensville 

Page vs Columbia 

Centennial vs Lawrence Co  

Region 7 

Henry Co (7-1 4-0)*

Hendersonville (6-2 3-1)*

Beech (4-4 2-1)

Springfield (4-4 2-2)

Portland  (1-7 0-4)#

Hunters Lane (1-7 0-3)

Henry Co is facing off with Ridgeway in a non-region game. Hendersonville disposed of Portland to set up the region championship game in two weeks with Henry  Co. H-ville goes out of region to take on Lebanon this week. Beech can punch their ticket this week with a win over Hunters Lane. 

Region 8

Southwind (8-0 4-0)$

Munford (7-2 3-1) * 

Overton (4-4 2-2)*

Memphis Central (5-4 2-2)*

Brighton (3-5 1-3)#

Current match up if the playoffs started Friday 

Sevier Co vs Knox Central 
Mo West vs Knox Halls 
Knox West vs TN High
Powell vs Daniel Boone 

-------------------------------------------

I might take Sevier County out of Region 1, but the other R1 teams will get smoked

West beating Halls wouldn’t be too far fetched.
