With all due respect to Knoxville and Brentwood, the real District of Death was and still is District 9. Top to bottom no one is close, partly because District 9 is eight teams deep. Last season the #8 seed, Lebanon beat a state qualifer late in the season from Murfreesboro. The #7 seed, Beech, beat DII state qualifer and AAA section finalist, and tied district champ Station Camp, and the #6 seed, Portland beat the state champs. And that's the bottom. Most of this district will be better than last year.
