I originally did earlier in the year, but I was mistaken obviously. Didn't realize how much more physical and athletic Upperman was vs Stone at that time. Let me be clear. I was wrong about that and I haven't thought they were better than Upperman since the first time they played this season.
Not today at the high school level. Just half to rely on the clock operator to stop the clock immediately, not the technology we see where the clock stops when the whistle is blown because of the technology they have at the college level.
I could definitely see it turn out that way. The problem is no one really stopped Ty Cobb all year. So Reynolds very well might've slowed him down, but I personally can't say it would happen til someone actually does it.
As for Alcoa, them and Upperman have a common opponent in Greeneville. Both played about the same vs them. in control by about 10 points most of the second half. However, one was a mid year game and the other was a state semifinal (of which Greeneville had shot lights out the day before).
I do think Loretto would have had a more favorable matchup against Upperman than Alcoa would have though. We might get that answer next season as Alcoa moves up into the same substate pairings as Upperman in 3A.
