Some good teams this year. I like 8 teams much better than 6 teams from last year. There are some good matchups. You got to like Howards chances. It was a question. I figured they would be in it, they have been in it every year.

Grace is going to play to defend their crown?

CSAS it gets crazy. Also Bradley, they are tough to beat at home. They have those crazy long home winning streaks.

How is Red Bank so high? I have them around 7ish in my poll. Who have the beat? Arent they like 8-5? You at least have to have Howard, ER, and Temple ahead of them

Both players are very different and very good. I wasnt at the game I was out of town but it sounds like both had off nights. Next time it should be different.

Im not talking about confidence or even being cocky which can be a good thing. Im talking about attitude that results in technicals, lack of disipline, and suspensions. Everything seems to have cooled down in Temple land. Most the facts have came out. Really the only questions left is what is Sexton gonna do.

Loves players with attitude? I dont think any coach likes attitude. No one wants to recruit bad kids. I know for a fact that Alex Wells would be getting much more recruiting attention if it werent for off the court issues.

I agree that Wells is the key to the game. Correct me if I am wrong, but he has been ER best player this year. If Grace can control him they are in good shape, if not they are in trouble.

Yeah, but we are in a distant second to the University of Miami.

Believe the hype, these kids can play. I think it would be interesting to see Carter guard Wells. About the topic McMasters vs Jurick. I have seen both play this year, and it is safe to say at this point in the year McMasters has played better.

This is probably (other than maybe Brainerd vs Howard) the game of the year thus far. We get to see McMasters vs Jurick junior edition. Should be a good game.

Notre Dame is better than Tyner. Also East Ridge beat Cleveland who is pretty good and they killed CCS. #4 is not bad for Howard, but dont worry T-mac, thankfully it will be handled on the court.

Unless he is a top 5 player in the nation, No.

Here is what I got. Some records may be slightly off. 1. Bradley Central (9-1)- Without a doubt best team in area. 2. East Ridge (7-1)- The Alex Wells and Philip Jurick combo is as good as any combo in the area. 3. Temple (6-0)- Would be number 2, but they havent played a team with a winning record. 4. Howard (5-1)- Big win over rival Brainerd, but loss to Tyner keeps them from being higher. 5. McCallie (4-1)- It is strange when a teams most impressive game is a loss. 6. Grace (6-0)- In same boat as Temple, no real quailty wins. Very young team. 7. Brainerd (9-2)- Played Howard very close. Could suprise people come tourney time. 8. Red Bank (7-4)- Not suprised that they dropped. Still a good team, but lost alot from last year. 9. Notre Dame (6-2)- Huge win over East Ridge. 10. Hixson (8-3)- Strange team beat Notre Dame then lose to CCS. Others: Tyner (5-3), Central (8-3), Cleveland (6-5), CCS (3-3), Ooltewah (6-5).

haha I will work on one.

I beat this thread last a long time...

Bradley is at least 10 points better than Temple.

Should be a good one.

They were my sleeper pick in the Chattanooga area. They were young last year and still might be considered a young team. David Dance can shoot the lights out. They have a big fella Casey Roach?? might be his name and he is alright. Another quick point guard. I think they are going to be able to suprise some people in the region.

If it was not Bruce Pearl then he wouldnt have been kicked out. Im sure they were parents and students yelling things 50 times worse. And I know that he should be held to a higher standard and yall that junk, but his name got him kicked out not his actions. And he may not be the poster boy for being classy but what has he done that was not classy?

Is Union City really 15 pts better than Lake Co? Whats Lake Co.'s record?

It is going to be really hard for Union City to repeat. It is hard for any team to repeat. Right now they have to be number 1, but I kinda doubt they repeat. Teams like Lake Co., Temple, and Humboldt (yes i know union city blasted them) are going to be tough to get by. Here is my shot at a top ten. 1. Union City- clear cut number one 2. Lake Co.- good chance at the gold ball 3. Temple- having some off the court issues but this team is good. 4. Humboldt- Got blasted by Union City but it is early. 5. Grace- Young and still probably a year away but very good. McMasters is the real deal. 6. Middleton- Always pretty solid could run into trouble making it to the boro. 7. Adamsville- new team on the map time will be the judge. 8. Eaglesville 9. Jackson Co. 10 Pickett Co. Others Halls, CSAS, Cosby

I heard Temple is up double digits at half.

Oh now i cant argue with that. West tn teams as a whole are much more athletic than the east tenn teams. West tenn teams as a whole are better than the teams in the east, but there are some good teams in the east.

You make it sound as if Grace was lucky to be playing in the state championship. By your logic Grace beat the best team in West Tn (Humboldt) to get there. Grace had a great record and a very good basketball team. Union City beat us. If you saw the state tournament you saw Union City looked invincible. They shot very well and played near flawless basketball. But to say Grace didnt deserve to be there is insane. Here are the facts. Grace has played in two of the last three state championship games. Argue with that.
