Tennessee prep high school football guru Murphy Fair expects Rutherford County to be anothering dominating force during the 2017 season.
In his recently released Tennessee High School Football magazine, Blackman is projected to win Region 3, followed by Oakland, Riverdale, Cookeville and Siegel.
"For a long time people across the state have pointed to Murfreesboro not only as a place that hosted the state championships, but it's place they call themselves champions," he said. "Riverdale had a great run, Oakland has made multiple appearances and Blackman has been so close. Smyrna also has a couple of state titles.
