I think that it is a mistake to not have McKenzie Etheridge from Waverly on this list of top players in 11-AA. He is a 2 time all district player and former district MVP. He has moved to the # 2 spot which is getting him more looks from the perimeter, and he may be the best defender in the league. I don't see any team running away in this district and think that it will come down to the final week of the season, but I will pick Waverly.

Here is how I see it, I saw the McEwen and Collinwood game last night, Collinwood has a good team. Should they have beaten McEwen last night, not a chance. Collinwood got off to a great start by jumping up 11-0, mainly on 7 points coming from a young man that totally disappeared for the next 3 1/2 qtrs, while McEwen went on a 25 to 5 run to close out the half, it was over from there. As far as Perry Co., I saw them play 2 times this year, they have a nice team and some good athletes, but one thing is for sure, they have no ball handlers. If they run into a team that likes to press or put pressure on the ball, I would expect alot of turnovers, hopefully they can overcome this. It is my hope that both McEwen and Perry Co. advance in the tourney and do one thing, keep the gold ball in middle Tennessee!

I wouldn't say that Cheatham will have an easy run through this district next season, if I am not mistaken Waverly only loses on starter from this years team. Waverly will be much improved next season, not only do they return 4 starters, but they had 2 freshman ( Smith and Dell ) get significant playing time this season. Next season will be very interesting, guess we will just have to see who works the hardest in the offseason.

Don't forget about the program that coach Webb has not only built at WCHS, state champs in '96, and continueing domination of district play ever since.
