2016-17 Top teams

[865BB]

In the Knoxville Area

 

1A: Grace Christian should be very good with Arnold and those 2 freshman returning. Harriman can score and they're athletic. Meigs is consistent and has a really talented PG.

 

2A: Knoxville Catholic should be very strong next year, they were 22-5 and bring back all 5 starters and 2 of their top 4 subs off the bench.  The Irish led Fulton by as much as 17 points in their regional game but Fulton made a great come back to pull out the win. CAK returns 4 starters and their 6th man was their second leading scorer they will be right there in the thick of things. Alcoa returns 4 starters as well and brings back a majority of their bench.  Fulton is Fulton so they will always be a state contender.  A-E should be a lot better, not a lot of size but they are athletic and they have a really good player in Hale.

 

3A: Oak Ridge is loaded. Maryville is always in the hunt and Bearden will bounce back.  I think Hardin Valley could surprise some teams but every year they're viewed as a surprise team.  Karns graduates two really good seniors but they return a lot of underclassmen. 

Hale has moved to Georgia so that will really hurt AE.

That will affect them but sometimes you get better by subtraction. They will still have some players though.

1A: Humboldt, Union City, Mitchell, Middleton

2A: Jackson South Side, Haywood, Fayette-Ware, Knoxville Fulton, CAK

3A: Cordova, East, Blackman, Oak Ridge

You can't talk 1A and not have Union City in the mix...

Depends if they get some players from Westview,South Fulton,Ohio,Illinois,etc.If they do like in years past,then yes they will be right at the top .

I have only seen a couple teams and heard about a couple. From what i hear Humboldt has the potential to make a run in single A. I expect Haywood to make another run in AA and with East having being able to lure in pretty much whoever they want im sure they will be back in AAA.
