The reason I left them out was Camden County beat them 35-0 in the playoffs.

HHS has a tremendous program, but no way are they number 2 in the US. I will not take the time to name 25 teams, but here are a few. South Panola (MS) Camden County(GA) Hoover (AL) Prattville (AL) John T. Curtis ( LA) South Lake Carroll (TX) Byrnes (SC) Dorman (SC) Lowndes County (GA) Northside Warner Robbins (GA) St. Thomas Aquinas (FL) Don Bosco Prep (NJ) Jenks (OK) Tulsa Union (OK) These are just a few off the top of my head. HHS has a wonderful program. I have coached against those guys a few times and know them personally, and they are classy guys. Like I said no disrespect intended, but. I make this same arguement about Maryville, TN. They are always ranked high, but never play the other top 25 teams. I want to see them and Highlands come down south. Bosco flew to Prattville this year and Byrnes and St. Thomas played. So if you want to be the man, beat the man.

Like I said all along, Larry Welch will right the ship at South.

What is going on with Madison Central? I can't believe they haven't won a game. Anyone have any info on that situation?

Is Madison Southern going to underachieve from now until the end of time?

There are three classes in TN. In the playoffs the three classes split in half, according to enrollment and make 6. Virtually there are six classes, but to qualify for the playoffs there are only 3. So in your district you play against schools with different enrollments. Example 1a and 2a make up class 1A. 3a and 4a make up 2A. Soddy Daisy is a 6a school that is 3A until the playoffs start. Soddy is a very average team. Good win for Bell.

What is up with PT? Changes at the end of the year possibly?

Will they open up a search at the end of the season or just give it to the guy acting as HC now?

Trousdale is nowhere near the 9th best team in the state. I think Mayfield beats TC this week. Trousdale is probably not in the top 100 teams in the state. They are class A.

South only has half their team out there due to eligibility issues. SL will be a different team after week 5. They have 5 starters out.

Hate to say I told you so, but...

Remember Alcoa is 3A. There are six classes in the state with two private classes.

Doesn't have anything to do with TN. Bell gets all the calls on Log Mountain.

Big difference in what Bell calls athletes and what Alcoa calls athletes. Just look at UK. Randall Cobb, Kyrus Lanxter. Thats just two. Alcoa has guys like that every year. You will see. The only thing that will keep this game close is the refs on Log Mountain.

Not saying Bell doesn't have a great coach. Just saying Alcoa has a ton of athletes and a great coach. Gary Rankin, look him up.
