5 ? marks and 5 for sure loses. DB, SH and JC just better. MoWest a little better, but has mental edge in rivalry. Gibbs, no non Knoxville school can win at Gibbs. Refs won’t let them. HVA, LC and CC all new coaches and new systems so ? WB no Cortez so ? And WR was close last year but iit is at home so ?
I watched games over there Monday and Tuesday.
USJ - Ayers is incredible; the rest of the team is okay, they play hard; no size other than Ayers; they will miss the red head from last year but Ayers may be enough to win another title
Wayne Co - Baugus is really good; they have three other good players and their size will bother people; guard play is down from past years; still a contender
Richland - surprise of the week for me; they had the best PG at the camp - blonde junior, not sure of name - she was impressive; Higgins can flat shoot it; this could be a state tournament team
South Gibson - still not healthy; played most of the minutes with four freshmen, 1 sophomore, 1 junior; played well at times and struggled at times - looked young; if their injured girls come back healthy, they will be dangerous
Franklin Road Academy - got a couple guards that I really liked, no post play but well coached and competitive
Lawrence Co - they’re not very good; have a young post that played physical but not skilled; played tough against Wayne Co for a half then got blown out by South Gibson
Hickman Co - got a transfer guard that can play; played hard; I liked them - sleeper pick to win their district
Cascade - competitive; young coach that girls seemed to respond to well;
Harpeth - not very good
Gleason - not very good but they beat other bad teams because they are well coached
Lewis Co - new coach trying to rebuild, not good; couple kids that might be decent with some work
Hampshire - really bad
Must have been a transfer that came into Alcoa that I didn't know about if there was going to be a QB battle this summer. Last years the 3 Star that transferred in at QB with D1 offers from middle TN has some flashes of really good play but they turned to Eli who ran Alcoa's O like it should have been done all year. Hard to argue against a kid thats already proved it and had 4 Td's in last years state championship game. Just not buying into Alcoa's "Starting" QB transferring to Webb unless Eli did in fact transfer to Webb.......
It depends. With TSSAA receiving money from schools for ejections, then I’m hopeful they would be entertained by the idea, but I doubt it. A lot of money they would be missing out on.
