Games to Watch: Week 8 & 9

Week 8
East Nashville @ Cane Ridge: Game that features two of the best teams in metro that bring a physical style of play. Surprisingly,  this the first match-up bewteen these two programs. 

Knoxville West @ Anderson County: Will be the 1st game bewteen these 2 defending state champions in 10 years. Will be West's 2nd match-up against a defending state champion in as many weeks.

Henry County @ Beech: These two programs are used to playing each other but now they're in the same region. Will be a good old fashioned slobber knocker that is heavy on running the ball and solid defense. 

Bartlett @ Germantown: 2 of the best Memphis area schools ( as well as 6A) face off in a game that could have big playoff implications as well as determine the Region 8-6A Champion.

Brentwood @ Centennial: Match-up of two of the best teams in Williamson County. Centennial is looking for their first win over Brentwood since 2016.

Oak Ridge @ Farragut: These 2 programs have met every year since 1993, including 4 times in the playoffs. OR leads the series 30-18

Week 9
Red Bank @ Bradley Central: This is a series that dates back to 1942, but this will be the first meeting since 2004. Both teams have the chance to make a deep run in their respective classes.

Maryville @ Cleveland: Maryville will have revenge on the mind when they travel to Cleveland. The Blue Raiders win over the Rebels last fall snapped a streak of 144 consecutive wins in region play.

Blackman @ Riverdale: For the first time since 2018, the Kriesky Bowl is back on. This is also a big rivalry game for both schools,  nicknamed " The Backyard Brawl".  Riverdale leads the series 15-12.

Stewarts Creek @ Smyrna: The winner of this game will probably lock up a playoff game for the 1st round. SC is searching for it's 1st win over Smyrna.

Nashville Christian @ Fayetteville: 1st meeting bewteen these small ball programs that are no strangers to postseason success.

1A Overlook

So to be upfront, 1A is an area where I don't have a great deal of knowledge. I'm gonna throw on some teams that I think have a good chance to win state...... Coalfield:  Coach Benson Napier has done a great job in his 2 seasons at Coalfield, going 22-5 despite having one of the smallest enrollments in 1A. They were thisclose to going to the BlueCross Bowl last year. They'll be one of the teams on the East side if the bracket in the mix South Pittsburg: If SP wasn't the favorite from the East to go to Chattanooga, they are now with the addition of Martavious Collins. Don't see alot of SEC commits in 1A, hard to imagine teams being able to stop him on offense or defense. Clay County: Clay County didn't mess around in Year 1 under Bruce Lamb, winning a school record 13 games and making it all the way to the 1A title game. It'll be interesting to see if they can repeat last season's success Gordonsville: Year 1 under Stephen Jackson was pretty successful wi...
