Didn't both Oneida and Cumberland Gap lose in the first round of the playoffs? Real powerhouses there.

Once again someone posts on BGR without doing his research. Norm, Cumberland Gap did indeed lose in the first round of the 3A playoffs but their season was solid with quality wins. The smaller 2A Oneida Indians beat CG on the road. Two of CG's three regular season losses were against ranked teams.

However, #8 Oneida did NOT lose in the first round of the playoffs. They earned a first round bye because they had such a good season. Tennessee doesn't waste time and money with lopsided first round games like Kentucky does (Trinity vs. GRC anyone?) Oneida lost in the SECOND round to #5 ranked Boyd Buchanan whose only regular season loss was to a 4A team from Maplewood (Nashville).

Oneida's only other loss was their season opener against #2 Greenback. In fact, Greenback put up 26 on the Indians and Boyd Buchanan managed to score 21. Williamsburg hung 20 points on them... not bad for a bunch of underclassmen.

I'll be back from Hazard around 1:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. At that time, I'll log onto BGR and post a three word message... "Told you so."
