Defeat or Destroy?: Playoffs Round 4
Wednesday, November 27
South Pittsburg (12-0, 4-0) @ Greenback (11-2, 6-0)
Two Class A heavyweights do battle on the campus of Greenback School as the visiting South Pittsburg Pirates look to continue their undefeated season. Ronto Tipton, Class A Mr. Football finalist and South Pittsburg running back, is one of many reasons the Pirates have yet to fall in 2019. He’ll have to continue his masterful season along with getting production from his running back counterpart De’andre Kelly.
Jay’s Pick: South Pittsburg defeats Greenback
Well’s Pick: South Pittsburg defeats Greenback
Trousdale County (12-1, 4-1) @ Meigs County (12-1, 4-0)
Two high-powered offenses will meet Friday night when Meigs County hosts Trousdale County. Both teams average more than 30 PPG, and have allowed less than 35 point combined in the postseason. Trousdale’s defense, however, has never seen a quarterback like Navy commit Aaron Swafford. He will be a tough test for a Yellow Jacket defense that has posted five shutouts in 2019.
Jay’s Pick: Trousdale County defeats Meigs County
Well’s Pick: Meigs County defeats Trousdale County
North Murray (11-1, 8-0) @ Jenkins (11-1, 8-0)
North Murray makes the long trek down to Savannah for its Elite Eight showdown with Jenkins. It’s the Mountaineers first trip to the GHSA Class AAA State Quarterfinals in program history. North Murray can travel back to Chatsworth with a win if they can limit Jenkins’ offensive possessions and put points on the board when Ladd McConkey and the offense has the ball in the their hands.
Jay’s Pick: Jenkins destroys North Murray
Well’s Pick: Jenkins destroys North Murray
