6. Smyrna 3-1

7. Gallatin 3-1

8. Greenbrier 3-0

9. Franklin 4-0

10. Brentwood 3-0

 

All teams won handily except for Smyrna and Gallatin who played each other and Smyrna won by five points.

 

As for the Centennial-Brentwood game, I'll take the Bruins by 8.

After stumbling with Fr. Ryan, Brentwood seems to have found a defense. Centennial too seems to have found a defense shuting out Pearl Cohn. It comes down to one simple thing.....anybody care to guess.... you got it!

 

COACHING

[Guest region4fan]

I heard Coker got hurt...anyone know how badly?

I'm not getting into this debate, mind you... but let me just say that Brentwood's blowout against Blackman is not quite as impressive as some might think... Blackman is one-dimensional and is lacking in any kind of passing game... if you stop the running game, you stop the Blaze... the Bruins' four interceptions were legit, but most of the balls were underthrown... basically jump balls that the Brentwood defenders came down with... Blackman completed one pass for the game... definitely not the sternest of tests for the Bruins' D... Brentwood is a good team, but next week will be their biggest challenge of the season...

 

Oh, and Brentwood is a carbon copy of Ravenwood offensively, largely because of Jack, I'd say... I think it will be interesting when those two get together...

 

Just food for thought...

Congratulations to Centennial on their big win over Pearl Cohn.

I'll stick with my earlier prediction and say CHS beats BHS in a close one. Slightly better athletes at the skill positions, and their first real opportunity to take charge in the region.

first thing first these boards are always biased... Centennial should win, the reason i say this is centennial has found a passing game Taylor Scott only has had 1 incompletion last 2 games, CHS has better players in most phases of the game... brentwood has much better coaching on gamedays so the game should be a good one, if centennial can shut down the bruins pass they will win, if brentwood completley shuts down the run of chs then bhs will win. turnovers will play a large roll but essentially its on the defenses to win this game.

If Coker is lost to injury, I would say that Antioch's playoff run is over.

[BHS05]

Blackman is one-dimensional and is lacking in any kind of passing game... if you stop the running game, you stop the Blaze.

 

That sounds an awful lot like Centennial's offense, yea no one has stopped them yet, but the bruin D is up for the challenge. Its not our fault our d shut blackman down and we got some picks. You put it up, who cares if they were jumpballs we still got them.

For two years I have wanted Centennial to beat Brentwood, and frankly they should have. This year Brentwood is the underdog and yet I still feel like they have the edge because of coaching. Curtis Steele is impressive despite not having a very good Offensive Line. I believe the coaching of Brentwood will shut him down. Sportsguy1976 may know what his rushing numbers were each of the last two years against Brentwood. I'd be curious to know.

 

Second to coaching, as a reason for Bwood winning, is conditioning. I think Centennial has always been a terrible 4th quarter team. I'd love to see that stat as well for points for/against in the 4th Q for centennial over the past three years!
