The Tennessee high school football season just hit midseason for Week 5, and some of these results are absolutely wild. Coalfield came out swinging, dropping a monster 62 points on Midway in what was a total fireworks show, ending 62-20. That’s a statement win, period. When you put up numbers like that this far into the season, you’re telling everyone else in the league to take notice.
East Tennessee Teams Are Absolutely Heating Up
Talk about turning it on as we roll into the middle of the schedule! Several teams in East Tennessee absolutely dominated their Week 5 matchups. Baylor completely shut down CPA with a 42-0 shutout, and Maryville did the exact same thing to Farragut, another 42-0 blanking. Meigs Co. got in on the action too, taking down Polk Co. 42-0. That’s three teams just straight up pitching shutouts with the exact same score. What a flex! These region contests are no joke, and those wins could mean everything later on. Cleveland grabbed a solid 35-14 win over Oak Ridge, showing they mean business. Hardin Valley also had a huge Thursday game, beating Bearden 48-7. Knoxville Grace took down Knoxville Webb 45-10, and Knoxville Halls rolled William Blount 48-14. Even TSD put up a huge score, beating the School for the Deaf, SC, 60-20 in their Thursday game. Boyd Buchanan added another big win, defeating Chattanooga Christian 35-13 in their region contest. These teams are not just winning, they’re sending a message at midseason.
Midseason Grinds and Games Still to Come
While some teams are clearly hitting their stride, other matchups are still waiting for final scores to come in. There’s still action on the board for games like Knoxville Carter at Anderson Co., Austin-East at Brainerd, East Ridge at Chattanooga Central, and Sale Creek at Chattanooga Grace. We’re also waiting on final numbers for South Greene at Chuckey-Doak, Knoxville Central at Clinton, Middlesboro, KY at Cloudland, Science Hill at Cocke Co., MTCS at Concord Christian, North Greene at Cosby, and Wartburg Central at Cumberland Gap. This midseason point is where every single game, especially those region contests, starts to carry serious weight. These early trends, especially the teams dishing out those massive scores and shutouts, are setting the tone for what’s ahead. The stakes get higher every week from here on out.
