Very quiet utbballnow….. If a player leaves a school because of playing time mid-season and then the team she left surges wins the region and makes the state tournament then Im pretty sure the coach isn't upset about the loss. It's obvious you have some ax to grind against Bearden and their coach. However, I would mention in the last 3 years BHS has won 1 district championship, 1 region championship, 1 Sectional Win, and 1 State Tourney Appearance FHS has 2 district championships, 1 region championship, 0 Sectional wins, and 0 State Tourney Appearances

You need to get some anger management and learn the difference between Your and You're . I bet you're (see the difference) the Dad that gets tossed out of a MS game embarrassing your daughter (another example)

Here we go again

Being from District 4 I think Farraguts run is impressive .... Everyone knows Science Hill is the most talented team in East TN. However The Farragut team I watched was sloppy and un disciplined also they showed a lot of attitude and had pretty mouthy players. If they want to make a deep run they better clean it up. Hats off for all their recent Sub State runs though

I saw LC play Farragut really close on Tuesday. I thought Farragut was supposed to be the best team around they looked very sloppy and un disciplined ? If that's the best team then the district will be wide open !

I don't know if i would call those coaches inexperienced. Farragut has been to two straight substates, wins 20+ games every year their coach has been there a few years and Bearden just won the district so those coaches seems like good candidates. I think high profile would eliminate Catholic....might be CAK..isn't their girls coach an AD as well?

The District will be interesting next year a lot of teams lose many key players. We lose a lot of players including Powers Bearden will struggle without Jai Jai next year, she is a great player and other than Walsh Bearden is pretty thin at the guard position and it might be a weakness for them next year. Tyler Carter inside is a good solid young nucleus to pair with Walsh though, those 2 are definately the future over there. William Blount loses Tatum, Wilson, and Wheeler

I too was at the Science Hill game, the final score wasn't indicative of how close the game was. Most of the game was very back and forth.

I think JJ is a better true PG, however the Smith girl who played middle school in the LC is a much better outside shooter. Depth is an interesting issue, because aside from JJ and Walsh Bearden doesn't have much in terms of guard play. The Denton girl seems like she might be able to contribute, but if you take away Walsh and JJ Bearden might have a hard time scoring. Also not sure how much can be said for winning a Knox Co. Middle school championship..since they do not play any teams from Loudon, Anderson, or Blount counties.

What is the outlook for the District? Seems like there has been a lot of player and coach turnover the last year. Who are the top teams and top players? New coaches this year: Maryville, Lenoir City, and Bearden

I disagree with that argument. Yes she was only an 8th grader, but thats why she gets so much hype..because she is really good and only in 8th grade. You can't have it both ways. Also, that team had a lot of JRs and Sr's it wasn't really a one person show.

No need to get into it..everyone knows it goes down on a very subversive level. At this point it's not even a debate anymore.

Please...there isn't a private school in Knoxville that doesn't recruit. Their genius lies in not having the coaches do the dirty work but other parents....and there have been plenty of players in a lot of sports at a lot of private schools who have gotten that 10K paid for them. Its common knowledge. However...what goes around comes around

Well you know what they say about people who assume. The Evidence http://m.knoxnews.com/news/2011/oct/13/south-doyle-bringing-excitment-back-to-students/

My Alcoa connections say that Shane Wells has applied. However I doubt that is a big surprise.
