8AA 2016-2017

With new classification period coming up for the 2017-2018 season, this could be the last year with Macon and York in this district. I know roundball is still a couple months away, but it's fun to talk about it. Here's my take on the district this year. 

 

Upperman looked pretty good this summer, McWilliams and Endicott will be two front runners for POY, the addition of a senior from LA will help them. Macon looked pretty good also. They played without Carlisle quite a bit, look to be a big squad with a couple good shooters to go with Ashburn, also potential POY. Smith will be pretty young, as they have no seniors but return two of the best players in the district with Shepperson and King, both potential POY candidates. These 5 players above to me are my predictions to be on 1st team all-district. 

 

LA just lost Neely for the year, which is a big blow to them, but Hayes and Miller will be tough to guard for anyone. Central Magnet lost their best returning player to Blackman, but they will be scrappy. York will be pretty young, with only 1 returning starter I believe. It will be interesting to see how they do without Blevins. Cannon will be scrappy and play hard. Not sure who their best player is. DeKalb should be better this year as they only lost one senior. Harpole, Poss, and Evans should be their go to guys. 

 

I see the district shaking up like this:

1. Macon 

2. Upperman 

3. Smith

4. DeKalb

5. Livingston

6. Cannon

7. Central Magnet

8. York

 

The top 3 could go either way. 4-8 could go either way also. This district, as close as it was last year, might be even closer this year.

3. Macon or York

5. Livingston

6. Dekalb or Magnet

8. Cannon

 

Other than Upperman the district in my opinion will be way weaker than the last couple of years, very competitive but much weaker overall.

How does anyone pick York so high?

They lost 5 seniors and Blevins is in the group....gonna be very different to learn to play without him.

You and the other experts may be right. But we will soon see. I don't believe YAI will be 7th or 8th in this district if they are healthy. Legitimately, anywhere from 3rd to 6th.

 

I hope everyone picks this bunch of kids last, they could surprise some folks. Nice to go into a season with zero expectations or pressure.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
