What do you mean by no tradition?? In my opinion there is good 1A basketball in this district! From what I've seen this is one of the strongest districts in east tennessee 1A. district 3 is down as well as the leaders that usually come out of districts 1 and 2! District 4 sends atleast one team to the state tournament this year maybe 2!! Jellico has Malicoate who is a very good player so they will be able to compete and will be good when he makes shots! Wartburg and Oneida should both be good teams this year and a good matchup with eachother! Wartburg's style of play should help them if they can get the tempo up, but if the game is slow it will be close! I don't see what your saying about Sunbright.. Yes they upset Wartburg last year but they didn't win a game after that! They are still Sunbright and won't be there in the end. Coalfield may end up ahead of them this year.. just my opinion!!

Nevermind that comment! My sources were wrong Jellico won but Oakdale played closer than it probably should've been

Heard that Oakdale beat Jellico... any truth to that? and if so, what happened?

Wartburg is improving and are playing a lot better than what they have been. I hope to see a good close game! Wartburg is healthy again and I think they have a chance if they keep it close, otherwise Coalfield will run away with it.

Wartburg and Oneida will be very exciting to watch! two completely different styles of basketball, with talent on both teams. It will be very interesting. I believe the key will be the tempo of the game. Whoever can play at their pace will win and be the best team in the district! Jellico and Sunbright have a chance to bust things up as well

what do u mean by "new players" for Jellico?? Must be more recruits cause if you mean the bench from last year they are gonna have 2 step way up to compete even with Mallicoate! You're also putting Wartburg a little low considering they had the deepest bench last year in the district. They have a lot of kids that can play! If they stay in shape i see them being very good.Oneida will be very good when hitting the long balls but if they are off then they will be in trouble. OZ will be better but still have a long way 2 go. nobody knows who will actually play for sunbright but either way they will have 2 have a deeper bench 2 play with the faster teams! They way i see it is 1/2 wartburg/oneida 3 jellico 4 sunbright 5/6/7 coalfield OZ and oakdale

All of district 4A will be alot better this year. Wartburg lost a lot of talent but brings back 2 starters and some other good key players that were off the bench. Jellico doesn't lose much, but I heard Mallicoate was moving back to Campbell Co. Oneida doesn't lose anything from a very young team last year. I think it will be between these 3 teams if Mallicoate stays in Jellico. Sunbright will be better this year also not losing much.

Wartburg and Oliver Springs are in the championship game tomorrow night. Wartburg has beat them 3 times already, but 2 of the games were very close and the other was a run rule. Congrats to both teams on making it 2 the region and good luck there. I look for Wartburg to get a district championship tomorrow. Could be a very exciting game though!!!

We will see how things go here pretty soon!! Cya in Murfreesboro! We will play our game and you play yours and the East could surprise some people!

There ain't no telling where all of the Grace kids came from!! lol

Smith pitched for Wartburg and Gann for os. it was a great game to watch. One of the best i've seen in a while! Wartburg run ruled os at wb last night 13 to 3 in 6 innings. Wartburg pitched Woody in the game at home and he threw good. Wartburg also wrapped up the #1 seed in the district tournament by winning this game. I hope to see them keep it up! And I expect them to win the championship also!

Wartburg is also 4-0 in the district and Coalfield loses both came from Oliver Springs. Those are the front runners that I've seen so far and in my opinion Wartburg has the best pitching, therefore have the best chance come tournament time. Wartburg and Oliver Springs play late in the season if I'm not mistaken and i think it will be good baseball. Both have good talent and have the potential to be very good, but i look for Wartburg to pull it out this year, especially if they get the bats going. Coalfield has the potential to bust things up if the other 2 don't stay focused all year and keep getting better though. What do you think??

I actually had forgot about them since they didn't play last year, but my thoughts are still the same. THey will make things more competitive in the district, but I still believe Harriman will win and Rockwood will be runner up. Grace can change things up some. How are things going so far?
