Tray’s Thursday Threat Check Elite Playoff Report 2025 Pick
Gatlinburg-Pittman vs Tyner Academy
Prediction: Tyner wins 35-24
- Tyner Academy – Class 3A – 12-1
- Gatlinburg-Pittman – Class 3A – 13-0 undefeated
Gatlinburg-Pittman has not slipped once. Their physical, disciplined style has fueled a 13-0 undefeated season and allowed them to control games at the line of scrimmage.
Tyner brings a different kind of pressure with explosive athletes, playoff speed, and the ability to flip momentum in a single possession. Tray believes Gatlinburg-Pittman can slow the game early, but Tyner’s big play ceiling eventually creates separation in the second half.
JG’s Thursday Threat Check Elite Playoff Report 2025 Pick
Page vs Centennial
Prediction: Page wins 38-21
- Page – Class 5A – 12-0
- Centennial – Class 5A – 7-5 (five game win streak)
Page has been one of the most complete teams in Tennessee. The Patriots play efficient, balanced football and rarely beat themselves. That combination travels in November.
Centennial enters with serious emotional momentum and a physical edge, riding a five game win streak to reach this point. JG expects Centennial to turn this into a real battle, but over four quarters Page’s discipline and consistency become the difference.
D’s Thursday Threat Check Elite Playoff Report 2025 Pick
Southwind vs Ravenwood
Prediction: Southwind wins 48-28
- Southwind – Class 6A – 13-0, 583 points scored
- Ravenwood – Class 6A – 13-0
This is a showdown between two undefeated powerhouses. Ravenwood brings discipline, structure, and one of the smartest defensive units in the state. They are built to handle high powered offenses with sound tackling and strong alignment.
Southwind is different. Their tempo, spacing, and chunk play ability put defenses in conflict from the opening drive. D believes Southwind’s athletic ceiling and explosive offense will eventually break the game open and create a two possession margin.
Coach Daniel’s Thursday Threat Check Elite Playoff Report 2025 Pick
South Gibson vs Pearl-Cohn
Prediction: South Gibson wins 30-17
- South Gibson – Class 4A – 10-3
- Pearl-Cohn – Class 4A – 9-4 (nine straight wins)
This matchup features two teams that refuse to fold. South Gibson is built for four quarter football, leaning on physicality and control of the line of scrimmage to set the tone.
Pearl-Cohn has battled all the way back from an 0-4 start to become one of the hottest teams in Tennessee, ripping off nine straight wins. Coach Daniel sees time of possession and trench play as the deciding factors and gives South Gibson the edge if they control the pace.
