Haywood officially being open has to be the best job in West TN, not including Memphis. Any more news on USJ? That would seem like a surprise.... current coach going elsewhere? Can't imagine they would get rid of him

They had a surprising run to the region semis to end last season. Great new coach and the district is wide open. Some interesting young talent.... does anyone have a schedule? Would love to check them and the 1-3-1 defense out at some point during the year

Gotta go with the coaches who are consistently in Murfreesboro every March... 2 of the best in my mind are Barry Wortman at Blackman and Drew Maddux at CPA. They have built programs that are successful every year.

Not a big enough reason to transfer schools, but I definitely believe the awards reason over getting shots. It was an absolute joke that Lomax won State tourney MVP. Seems like he is the chosen star at East who will win every award no matter how the players actually perform. Lomax is a great player, but having only watched 3 games in Murfreesboro he was their 3rd most valuable player that week. Moss leaving would make things more interesting in class AAA the next two years

Logan Teichmann- Brentwood High School UTC commit, has been opening up holes all year for the undefeated bruins who average over 40 points a game and 330 yards rushing 6'5, 257. Grades out at 91 percent, 29 pancake blocks. On defense 31 tackles, 9 for loss (according to the tennessean)

emmanuel andrews from shelbyville.... leading the midstate in scoring

i am not going to comment on the coaching because i am not close enough to the program to know whats going on. but it is hard to win anywhere when you are one of the smallest teams around. ravenwood will do much better in district this year because they will not have to deal with the matchup problems a drew kelly or kyle teichman caused. those kids play hard and that is all you can ask

..... until they get to murfreesboro where they have gotten waxed the last 2 years. dont see them being anywhere near as good without dunn, so IF they make it to the boro look for another quick and ugly exit

even tho this is just a summer camp game i am not surprised by the result. siegel is very talented but beech is the class of the midstate, with siegel and hunters lane slightly behind. the experience chamberland and co have from going to the boro last year is invaluable, along with the odd 1-3-1 defense that few can figure out. they will be very tough to beat even tho this is just a summer camp game i am not surprised by the result. siegel is very talented but beech is the class of the midstate, with siegel and hunters lane slightly behind. the experience chamberland and co have from going to the boro last year is invaluable, along with the odd 1-3-1 defense that few can figure out. they will be very tough to beat

fulton will be in no trouble next year. they have jalen steele, who is the 2nd best AA player in the state behind prather. campbell has a year of triple a experience and is very talented. boyd and reggie are more experienced than last year. gallman and styles were big losses but jody wright is an extraordinary coach and i expect fulton to contend for its 3rd straight title

"What about the shooter from CPA and the big kid from Brentwood?" i believe you are referring to hunter miller and kyle teichman. they are both on the roster for the TACA east/west all star game, a state wide contest. both are on the west team

if you look at the common opponents it heavily favors beech both schools beat clarksville handily early on, beech beat brentwood by 18 after being up as much as 30.... the same brentwood team that beat franklin 3 times this season. also the bucs have 2 wins over mt juliet who beat franklin at the rebels gym. The real 1-3-1 will take away haddix and franklin does not have enough shooters to stay in the game. Beech at home by 10+

this has been an exciting season and there are only 2 games left..... looking back on it i see two main contenders for the district MVP award. obviously drew kelly is number one. his near 30 ppg average is unheard of but his team's lack of success could hurt him. the other is teichman from brentwood. he is pumping in 20 a contest and has led his team to a tie for first place. i would not at all be opposed to these two bigs sharing the award. also carden is having a great year at indy, no one thought they would be near the top at the beginning of the season.

we are all surprised by the rebels losing but they are in no way a bust. they will get better as the season progresses and they get key players back. i do not think they are as good as they have been in the past but they are still the best team in the district. haddix is improving rapidly but is nowhere near an "unstoppable force".... a top 10 player in the league at best.

I think that whatever two teams come out of the region will make it to the Boro. it is a 3 team race (franklin brentwood maplewood) for two substate berths. maplewood is the most athletic and talented, franklin is the deepest and most experienced, while brentwood is in their 2nd year with coach king and has teichman inside. it is too early to pick which two but whoever wins the 11-AAA tourney is a virtual lock for a birth in the region championship. wouldnt be surprised to see hillsboro make a run with mcmillan some young athletic players and thweatt(sp) is a very good coach.
