Star Picking Panel

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

There are not too many counties throughout the state that can stick out their chest and boast they have three teams in three different classifications playing in the state quarterfinals this Friday night like Carter County can as Cloudland, Hampton, and Elizabethton will all be seeking to advance to next week’s semifinals.

While many see Hampton and Cloudland having a pretty good chance of advancing, many have already written off the Cyclones as they prepare for their showdown with the Greeneville Greene Devils who have maintained the top ranking in the state since beating the Cyclones early in the season.

However, four of our five panelists see Elizabethton coming out on top this week as much has changed since their early season loss.

The Bulldogs and Highlanders have all been selected to win this week by the Star Picking Panel.

With any luck, Carter County can keep those chests puffed out with three teams making it to the state semifinals from our county.
