WEST TENNESSEE

[12yr.oldchamps]

I don't know if Milan could beat Germantown, CBHS, or Melrose but it would be a close game. I normally wouldn't be saying that but Milan is that good this year.

Some folks get a false read as to the true strength of Memphis. but when the playoffs come reality hits! Mark my word, Memphis(region 8) will go 4-0 head to head with region 74A in the playoffs this year!

You're right about 4A, but history says different in 2A and 3A. From 99 thru 01 the rural West TN teams were 12-5 vs Memphis in 2A and 13-6 vs 3A. During that stretch the Memphis regions had exactly 0 teams in the semi finals. Ridgeway was an awesome team last year and Mitchell had a good run, but year in year out, Memphis hasn't stacked up very well against rural West TN. Melrose, East and Ridgeway will dominate 7-4A this year.

RKF just out of curiosity, why did you begin your assesment of Rural west dominance with 1999. As far as I am concerned 1999 is the same as The year 1 AD. everything prior to 1999 might as well be BC(Before Christ)

I would say that that in 7 years that is pretty balance.

[cofo]

Memphis is know as North Tunica

[OCRebel]

Memphis is know as North Tunica

What? No it isn't. We are known as many things, mostly unjust, but no one, save you perhaps, has ever called Memphis, "North Tunica."

[brothers15]

There is no way Milan can beat CBHS, Germantown, or Melrose. They couldn't even play them a close game.

[westtn2004state]

We'll never know because we'll never play em. Assumptions are your opinions.

[asdfasdf]

who is milan? just curious i've never heard anything about them. must not be to great.

[westtn2004state]

guess you just dont live in west tn.

[bulldawgs#1]

well we've won 4 state championships 71,77,98-2a,99-3a and have been in the semi and quarter finals many many times. We have good enough team this year to win again. Alot of people are saying this is the best Milan team ever. Some are even saying this is the best 2a team theyve seen in 20 years. Weve whipped everyone weve played this year. Our RB and S Rod Smith has a very good chance at getting Mr. Football. Yea i guess thats not too great. And if you havent heard of Milan you dont know Tennessee high school football.

I bet your really a fan of someone Milan has smashed.

[asdfasdf]

haha. i don't think milan could smash the team i play for. i haven't even heard of any of the teams milan has played. the only one i know on your schedule is covington. and yes westtn04 i do live in west tennessee. just not in the boondocks.
