Middle aaa is Mt Juliet, Station Camp, Hillsboro, and Independence.

In East Tennessee (Knoxville Area) I think all these teams are in contention to make the state tournament.

A: Grace Christian, Meigs County, Cosby, and Harriman

AA: Fulton, CAK and Catholic

AAA: Oak Ridge, Maryville, and Heritage.

Luke Smith (Catholic) played lights out this summer. Shane has a pretty complete team at CAK this year. Jody always coaches up some talent at Fulton. I agree with Q. 

 

I agree on A picks as well. I want to mention Van Buren as a contender from the East side well kinda SouthEastMiddle LOL.... The Mills kid is a good player. And Indiana St commitment Tyreke Key will have Clay County right there at the end. Memphis is the favorite as usual in A but hoping GCA gets over the hump this year. Slim's last shot. 

 

I know less about AAA but Crocket should still be pretty good. Science Hill has athletes. 

 

Baseball fans need to spend some time traveling around Knoxville this year. There are some good players in the area to watch at GCA, Catholic, Maryville, Farragut, Beardon, Fulton. Oak Ridge and others.

Add Houston, Southwind to AAA, Bartlett is a Sleeper

[QSouth89]

With Bearden having a new coach I wasn't sure what they will look like or even what they have. Farragut has to replace 4 starters but they do return Nick Rodgers and some athletic guys off their bench. Chris Cool does a great job it's a shame Catholic isn't playing them year. Largest home and road crowd was against the Admirals.

Whitehaven may be a year away but they are young and talented. Philips coaching could make them a contender by March. East is still the favorite and it is not even close. Penny has 7 or 8 big time payers.

I think you will see Clay County in contention and def at the state tournament. They return the likely Class A Mr. Basketball in Tyreke Key and all main players besides Wyatt Mabrey.

 

West in A will be the normal crew with Mitchell BTW etc.

Q, you see Cosby beating Hampton this season? GCA is probably a given to get to state...But how good is Cosby, Meigs and Harriman supposed to be this season?
