Road to the Title

by Alex Curtis

It is cool that our district has 4 teams in the state playoffs this year (NCS, Jo Byrns, Clarksville Academy, and White House Heritage).  The road to the State Championship in Cookeville would start with  Nashville Christian winning at home against Columbia Academy. Then in the 2nd round the Eagles would travel to play 5th Ranked 9-1 Wayne County.   Then in the 3rd Round the Eagles would have another opportunity to play Jo Bryns again in Cedar Hill, unless Clarksville Academy knocks them off the week before.  Once in the Semi Final round the Eagles would most likely play 3rd ranked Perry County unless they get upset in a earlier round as there are a lot of scenarios with many different outcomes.

The championship game could have the Eagles playing South Pittsburgh.   I know talking about this may seem crazy, but anything is possible.

Below are my predications for the Eagles to go all the way this year.
