District 4AA 2016-17

[QSouth89]

Well it's almost that time. With CAK and Catholic moving on after this year I'm interested to see how fans of the teams think the season will go. CAK, in my opinion is the team to beat. My predictions:
1) CAK: three time district tournament champion, the returning district MVP in Hunter Reynolds and one of the best coaches in the Knoxville area in Coach Wells.
2) Catholic: returns their top 6 scorers from last season.
3) Alcoa: long, athletic, shoots the three ball could very well win the district.
4) Scott County: Billy Hall is a scorer team plays hard however another new coach for the Highlanders.
5) Kingston: Coach Naramore always has his team ready and they play hard. Not sure what Kingston has returning.

I don't think CAK is a shoo-in to win the district. I think CAK, Catholic, and Alcoa will all be good- any of those three teams could win it. I know Reynolds was MVP last year but that could easily be Luke Smith this year.

CAK and Catholic are both state tournament level teams... will come down to a little bit of luck as to who wins the district... will be great games as usual between the two.

Irish chances certainly improved with the return of Brock Jancek. He was playing as well as anyone at the end of the year and has grown some more. I think Luke and Hunter are about dead even but they play different styles. It will take a little bit for CAK, Catholic and Alcoa to get the football players up to speed. Scott will have a new coach which may be a X factor. Kingston will battle but doesn't have the horses.

Something else I forgot to mention, I'm wondering what District 4AA will look like next year?  I'm hearing rumors that Alcoa will be placed in District 3 can anyone confirm this or is it just talk at this point?

Yes

This was a topic of conversation this morning but the Catholic basketball program has competed in Division I (A, AA, and AAA) and Division II.  There's today trivia information for the day now back to hoops.  I was informed that Cole Smith had surgery on his shoulder (sustained an injury in game last week).  Hopefully it's nothing that will keep him out long.  He's an amazing athlete and even better person.

Not a lot of action on here huh?  Saturday Catholic is headed to Heritage to play in their play day.  I think the Irish are playing Maryville and Heritage. 

[QSouth89]

Catholic and KIngston were over at Heritage playing in the play date.  How did the other teams do in scrimmages?  I'm sure Scott County is missing key players due to football.
