i'm sure about your predictions, but i don't know why you put up state championships from the 80s. i mean, ya'll were playing 1A. I know i wouldn't brag about beating a team with 30 players for a state title. ba is bush league and in light of their recent short comings in the big games for the past few years(i.e. the past three football state title games), i would have to say their destined to lose. i guess it's just payback for years of illegal recruiting and ruining high school football in the state of tennessee.

What excellent, fact based points you make. Perhaps you should approach Senator Frist regarding your qualifications to be the next Supreme Court nominee.

 

Seriously, call the TSSAA with your allegations of recruiting, and take your silly statements to the Public/Private Debate board on this site. Many people there would like to understand how football has been "ruined" in this state.

wesvols wesvols. how can you say that ba will beat nd in the finals. they don't even have a chance to beat nd if they get by mcallie. remember they lost to nd in the regular season.

 

 

dalewood, I respect your opinion, but hope to see it proven wrong. Yes, Brentwood Academy lost to Notre Dame in the regular season, you are correct; however, Notre Dame lost to Father Ryan, Knox Catholic, and Baylor (twice), none of whom are in the State Tournament. My point? You can't base current predictions too heavily upon past results, especially in basketball.

 

I don't doubt Notre Dame's ability, nor do I deny the fact that they might beat Brentwood Academy should they meet in the Finals; however, it would be a MAJOR mistake to assume that Notre Dame will roll, thus ignoring the Eagles' chances of winning state.

 

Last time I checked, their odds are 1 in 4. :rolleyes:

you are right. but those are real good teams. you win some you lose some. but remember who is still in the run for the state championship. while FR,baylor, and mcallie sits at home. nd will be playing.

 

Well, basically, it boils down to this: nobody in Division 2 this season has proven themselves to be unbeatable. Thus, it is impossible to forecast with any significant degree of security who will win State. It could be any one of these teams. THAT was my point in my previous post.

 

Best of luck to Notre Dame, and to McCallie, Lausanne, and BA.

      Elizabethton Football

      By formerblazer · Posted

      You didn't spell Greeneville and Elizabethton correctly in your sentence.  4A has the best teams in Upper East TN.  Carter County All-Stars and Greene County All-Stars is the Superbowl now.

      Yeah, but if he goes to Science Hill they are guaranteed at least a win over Kingsport and that's basically the NET Superbowl

      2024 5A Season

      By blazer1set · Posted

      I expect Sevier County might be pretty good, perhaps Mo West as well.     But I don't see either of them getting out of round 2.          The rest of the region gets smoked in round 1.            Except for those once-in-a-blue-moon anomaly years the NET big schools are pretty much the same every season.

      Prayers for Kyle James family

      By ObseverW · Posted

      Wanted to see if all of you would lift up Kyle James family in prayer. Kyle was one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of Soddy Daisy and as some of you know he lost his house a few weeks ago and now his family and friends mourns his passing. Not sure if any of you were around in early 2000’s when Kyle was wrestling at Soddy, but he was a 3 time state champ and a Fargo AA along with going to Colorado to train to make the Olympic team. That goal was never reached due to medical issues, but he was an amazing wrestler and his family is as good as gold. If you were around at that time and have any pictures of Kyle, please go onto Alexy Winesburgh FB page and post. Thanks, Doug Benton

      Favorites to win State 1A

      By cp11 · Posted

      My opinion the 8 teams will be-  Greenback, Wartburg, Gordonsville, Jo Byrns, Eagleville, Bruceton, Dresden, and South Fulton. Gordonsviile is probably the favorite but I wont say it will be an easy road. With the right draw any of the 8 could win it.
