County Football Teams Among Top Ten in Pre-Season
Performance Ratings |
By Pat Cole
Carroll County's football teams fared well in Earl
Nall's Performance Ratings for the 2001 Pre-Season. In
Class AA, Huntingdon and McKenzie made the top ten,
with the Mustangs rated third and the Rebels rated
ninth. In Class A, the Hollow Rock-Bruceton Tigers
were rated third while West Carroll's War Eagles were
just out of the top ten at thirteenth.
In Class AA 49 teams were rated while in Class A there
were 58 teams rated. Also found in Class AA were area
teams Milan (first), Union City (second) and Martin
Westview (sixth), all Region 7 teams that McKenzie and
Huntingdon have faced over the past decade while the
Mustangs will retain these teams on their 2001
schedule.
In Class A, both the Tigers and War Eagles have faced
University School of Jackson (rated second) for the
past few years. Remaining top ten teams in both
classifications are from other areas of Tennessee,
including Moore County, Christ Presbyterian (2000
champion and one of three Region 5 teams to make the
top ten), DCA (Region 5) and Franklin Road Academy
(Region 5).
