1. CSAS- returns very athletic players and a solid team with good coaching.
2. Tyner/Seq Co.- Tyner has tremendous athletes and return quite a bit. Seq Co. will be some good competition from the valley teams, they are big, young but big. they can also shoot the lights out. Coach Smith does a great job and has been making some noise these past couple of years.
3. Howard- Lost some key players but always athletic and will also compete at the top because they are led by good coaching.
4. Hixson- Return solid players with some experience, lost too much to be at the top.
5. East Ridge/Marion Co.- East Ridge lost a lot, may come around toward district tourny time. Marion Co. also lost a lot but return 3 starters, with a little more experience they might be a sleeper.
6. Grundy Co.- Lost more key players that won't be replaced than anyone else. They return Mr. Athlete Dustin Fults and with rumors of Josh Sitz playing they could be a tough duo. This team could be a sleeper or a cake walk, depending.
7. Bledsoe Co.- Suffered all kinds of losses. They lost their two studs from last year. They do return a 4 year starter and a couple of big kids. Coach Boynton is the only thing that will help this team.
