What's the outlook for this season? MJ is loaded once again and I would expect them to run away with it, but there are several good arms in the district this year. My pre-season ranks -
1a. MJ - very talented as always, should be strong favorites in regular season and tournament. Loads of D1 talent on this team.
2a. Wilson Central - Classy program with a long history of success and a great coach, just not sure what they have talent-wise. No doubt they will play hard for Ford, but can they compete with MJ?
3a. Lebanon - returns some talent, but always tough to compete with the Wilson Co schools. Do they have enough firepower? Sounds like Coach Vetetoe has things going in the right direction over the last 2 years.
4a. Station Camp - Anyone know what is going on here? They lost 11 seniors to graduation, best Sophomore just transferred to Ravenwood (D1 talent) and several players have already quit. With only 6 upper-classmen now on the team and a second-year coach coming off the worst record in school history, you got to wonder if something is going on?
1b. Hendersonville - Regardless of talent, they always compete. Congrats to Mike Hendrix on the HOF induction, him and Gilley will have the team ready. Know they have at least one strong arm (Soph I believe). Who will finish higher between them and beech?
2b. Beech - Know they have at least one very good arm, should they be the favorite on this side of the district?
3b. Gallatin- Made a great run last year but lost some good players. Do they come back down to earth and finish bottom half of district or can they make another run?
4b. Portland - Believe they lost their 2 best players to Cumberland Univ (congrats to K. Dixon, kid plays very hard). Are they going to be able to compete this year?
