Who are the contenders in each class?

its still scary to think of the fact that East could be playing single A next year due to enrollment.

They probably will play up. but if they do its over their bench can win state in single A

Didnt know Southwind has Khaliff now, he'll help alot. He's a big body and has developed alot over the years I saw him over the summer running the floor extremely well and knocking down the 10-15 footer on the Addidas circuit which was something that he didn't do back in his central days. Having him at the 5 and being able to put Marshall and Boyd at the 3 and 4 respectively will help out ALOT. Lets not forget Edwards can coach.

They also have the Jones kid who is about 6-7 so they are not far East as in terms of size where East gets them is depth they once again will be about 10 deep with quality players and agree with you about Edwards one of the top 5 in Memphis Edited October 13, 2016 by mcon6983

They should be pretty good,Houston is supposed to be pretty good too but on paper, I might go with Southwind. Houston from what I hear is supposed to add a player soon...a 6'4 6'5 kid...

Houston has been good on paper a few years now

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.

 

Bearden should be interesting to watch this year. They have a young team, mostly sophomores from last year. One senior, two juniors. They've got some talented shooters and some height. They went 12-2 over the summer camps. Even with a new coach, I think they'll surprise everyone.

(From the West) A- Mitchell, BTW, Union City, Humboldt, Middleton

AA-Haywood, Jackson South Side, Fayette-Ware, Ripley, Camden, Dyersburg

AAA-Brighton, Cordova, Memphis East, Southwind, Whitehaven

Why do you not think Halls would be a top contender in Single A?

[dmm88]

I forgot to mention them. They will be very good, even without the guards

Trust me, I don't think they are going to do anything relevant. Their coaching is suspect and has always been suspect. If they was gonna do something, it should have been in 2015 when they had a really good team

Nashville Christian was a dark horse last year that made the State Tournament in 1A and they have great coaches and players and could make it again this year

terrible to see talent wasted and not rewarded with wins.

Do people think Oak Ridge will be a contender in AAA? With or without Tee, I believe the Wildcats can make it to the Boro.
