Farragut has a 3-6 record coming into this game, but they've played a brutal schedule (by east Tennessee public school standards). You'll enjoy Gatlinburg. East Tennessee is gorgeous up in the mountainous area. Have fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knox Catholic exposed a kink in McCallie's armor last week (we'll see if KC can play Baylor close as well). LA might be having a down year, but they are certainly talented enough to beat them. Upset alert???? It's the Battle of the Boro, but Oakland should roll Riverdale with ease. Bearden at Boo Central should be the best game tonight on rivalry Thursday. Another top game tonight might be Powell at Knox West. West should win, but Powell might be able to give them a run. Ravenwood/Brentwood is always a good game. I also like Greeneville at Elizabethton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they would've played Father Ryan, Antioch and Overton instead, they'd be 7-2 and many would be raving about their prowess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we had won either the saraland or baylor games (both very close and winnable) and not lost to a terrible MBA, I would have felt better. losing to MBA was really what makes me think it's a down season. 1 hour ago, Omaha Vol said: Knox Catholic exposed a kink in McCallie's armor last week (we'll see if KC can play Baylor close as well).

Bradley Central’s only good this year because of their all world everything Boo Carter. Once he leaves they’ll return to reality. Bearden isn’t usually in the discussion for top teams in Tennessee, but the new recruiting standards are turning them into just that. I could see Bearden making some noise in years to come. Neither one of them will unseat Oakland this year. I really hope Oakland continues to venture out to play more national level teams. Going to Indianapolis to play Center Grove was a start in the right direction. It’s always been our privates that played anyone OOS (ie. LA, BA, MBA or MUS).

Bradley Central is thumping Bearden 39-17 late in the 3rd. Didn’t expect that domination. Looks like Powell/Knox West is the best game tonight. Knotted up at 17 in the 4th.

I expect oakland to right size them. bradley does have some talent this year but I think you are right about being a 1 hit wonder. bearden might depending on how long the coach sticks around. he's made waves in the past but is probably looking to get back into college coaching would be my bet.
