I am taking a stab at picking all the winners or the Sub-State/Sectionals

Class A

South Greene > 15+

North Greene > 5 or less

Jackson Co. > 9 or less

Pickett Co. > 20+

Community > 10+

Houston Co. > 10+

Gibson Co. > 15+

Middleton > 20+

Class AA

Elizabethton > 10+

Fulton > 9 or less

McMinn Central > 15+

Upperman > 15+

East Nashville > 10+

CPA > 9 or less

Westview > 5 or less

Haywood > 10+

Class AAA

Morristown West > 5 or less

Oak Ridge > 9 or less

Stewarts Creek > 3 or less

Riverdale > 10+

Wilson Central > 15+

Dickson Co. > 10+

Memphis Overton > 9 or less

Memphis Central > 15+

These  are the 8 teams I predict will be in Murphy Center in no particular order.....of course not necessarily the best 8 teams in the state given how the state tournament field is paired down (Dis., Regions, Sub-State).  

 

Elizabethton

Gatlinburg-Pittman

McMinn Central

Upperman

East Nashville

CPA

Westview

Craigmont

 

some dark horses candidates that could make it there.......

Grainger

Westmoreland

Lewis Co.

Lexington

Haywood

Covington

Not really I was at game and they shot the ball worse than they have all year. They lost to a team they had beat twice by 16+ both times. Also over half their shots were half way down then came out. It was definition of "of any given day"

If you are a contender for the AA crown (which was stated) you don't lose to a team that you've beaten by 16+ twice. IMO that's the definition of the term OVERRATED.

Look for Sycamore to out of 9AA to make some noise. Sleeper.

The "Sleeper" was put to sleep......can you say overrated?!?

First let me say this, Gibson is and should be the favorite in the title game on Saturday. They are an excellent team, great coaching and superb talent. Livingston would have to play one of their better games for sure to come out with a victory. But that is where is gets dicey for Gibson Co., Livingston has been playing there "best game" in the past 5 games. The past 5 victories are like a "who's who" in the 2008-09 AP poll. In order with last AP ranking and score (#5 Station Camp 66-57, #3 Upperman 50-48, #9 Polk Co. 80-58, #4 McMinn Central 64-54 and #6 Westview 48-44). Couple that with the regular season schedule (for those wondering about the 12 losses) including the following teams; Clarksville NE, Ensworth, Cookeville, Shelbyville, Clarkrange, and Jackson Co. I think it is safe to assume win or lose LA will not be in awe of #2 Gibson Co. And it bears remembering that Marshall Co. #1 in the last AP poll and undefeated at the time never even made it to the Boro....funny things happy when you play the games on the courts and not on paper.

Also, with all the talk about 13aa and all the great teams, remember this in the past 22 years District 7-AA (which LA is a proud member) has had either the State Champion or Runner-up or both 17 times!!!! That is fact and I would stack that up against any district any class in the state.

hey Vols1, PatriotSpy, Wildcat5 or anybody, the boys are halfway through the season, what do you think of the team so far?
