the fact is that the level of play is down this year in Tennessee. Last year Bearden, Farragut, and Christian Brothers were clearly the best teams in the state. Most of the better players, at least in east TN, graduated.
Beardens team, it is basically their JV team from last year plus Todd V.
Farragut, has Doyle who is more concerned about kicking a football, and next year they will probably have a down year.
bottom line.. If this years Farragut team played any of the decent teams of the past, they would get beat.. the skill level is down and has dropped off to where it was several years ago
