Week 9 left no doubt. To me, this was easily the most fascinating week we\u2019ve seen in Williamson County to this point. A heavy favorite in 5A handled, close inter-county matchups, and an undefeated season ended on senior night. Here\u2019s who I\u2019m buying and selling heading into week 10 of football here in Willco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stock up: Brentwood<\/strong>: A four touchdown victory in a district game is the recipe to stay on top of my stock up section, and subsequently at the top of 6A region 6 standings. I think this Bruins team is poised to make noise in the playoffs, and I think they get it done against Ravenwood in this year\u2019s edition of \u201cThe Battle of the Woods\u201d matchup against Ravenwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stock up: Page<\/strong>: Did not see that coming. A two-touchdown victory over one of the more talented teams in 5A in the Centennial Cougars. I see this as a show out type of performance from the Patriots, who have cemented themselves as a contender yet again in a crowded 5A bracket. I\u2019ll be tuned in to see how they finish against a one loss Nolensville team. I think they will get it done Friday, so with that I\u2019m buying into the Page Patriots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stock down: Centennial<\/strong>: I think we might be seeing this team crumble. After the loss to Brentwood the Cougars seemed to have taken a turn for the worse. I could see Hillsboro sticking around in their matchup Friday. That might turn out to be closer than some think. I\u2019m down on Centennial for now, as I viewed them as a contender in 5A earlier this year. I don\u2019t see that anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stock down: Nolensville<\/strong>: I just haven\u2019t been overly inspired by the performances I\u2019ve seen from Nolensville. I don\u2019t think they\u2019ve had as tough a schedule as some others, and their one true test against Centennial they couldn\u2019t get it done. I\u2019m not buying into Nolensville and think they\u2019ll be handled by Page this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Surprise of the week: Franklin<\/strong>: It\u2019s too late into the season for me to say I\u2019m buying into the Admirals, as they are eliminated from playoff contention. However, this team deserves their flowers, and they have my unwavering respect. This season has been a tailspin into nowhere for a group of guys who are dedicated to their work beyond reproach. It\u2019s rare to see a midseason coaching change, and this group experienced that and never wavered. Having probably the hardest schedule in the county, going through a coaching change, being stuck in an abysmal 22 game losing streak, and then on top of that staring down the barrel of an 8-0 Mount Juliet team that was probably looking at this as a tune up game for the playoffs. I\u2019m a senior at Franklin, I\u2019ve watched all twenty-two consecutive losses. This team came out on senior night, honoring their fallen brother William Cherry, who would\u2019ve been a senior this year, and they took it to Mount Juliet. This was a gritty, physical win that was won on the line of scrimmage. This team came out and punched an 8-0 team in the mouth, and quite frankly dominated this game. This game was a life lesson on turf, with nothing to lose, playing for something bigger than themselves, these guys got it done. Congratulations to the Franklin Admirals. They have earned every bit of respect and gratitude I\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Week 9 left no doubt.
