FCS punter Cale Mitchell, is the best in the area.

Agreed.

Anyone have any news on the recruiting of the QB coming from PA? I hear he was zoned for Wilson Central High School. The kid has interest from several D1 Colleges. Friendship Christian already has him going to their school. I don't know what they told him but if he is as highly touted as I've heard by the list of colleges interested in him why Single A over 5A or whatever WCHS is. The level of play falls off quite a bit. If he plans to play for any of those colleges he should play against better d's than FCS will face. FCS is a single A power house no doubt about it and getting to kids like this before anyone else knows about them is how they will stay on top. Just hope if the kid is smart and parents too would consider what he'll gain by playing with Wilson Central over the lack of competition he'll face in 1A or whatever FCS plays in.

 

Anyways has anyone else heard of this kid??? I wish him the best where ever he goes! Always good to see a local kid go on to play at the college level.

Yes i heard this too. He recently moved to the 109 area and is indeed zoned for WCHS. His name is AJ Long... I too agree with the competition level between 1A and 5A. Playing 1A ball is definately going to hurt him.

1 Wilson Central

2 Beech

3 Mt Juliet

4 Hendersonville

5 Station Camp

6 Lebanon

7 Gallatin

8 Portland

These standings are exactly right. WC and beech are by far the best two teams in this district.

Now, after the "Battle at the Beech." Im curious to see how you guys would now rank 9-AAA.

1. Wilson Central... thats all that matters

at TheRealTruth.. your out of your mind. Mr. Brandon of Wilson Central is by far the best shooter in 9-AAA. also, beech is not the beech of the past. they are very passive on the defensive end i feel. i have watch multiple games of theirs this year nor am i pleased with there performance.

i agree with this very much. Mr. Brandon is by far the best shooter in the district. he has been known to be a little streaky but he's been hot so far this season. i had the privelage to watch him play at antioch last and he was on fire. McClung cant hold his jock.

Hendersonville? mt juliet? as of every other year everyone over looks SC watch out this year they have some good guard play and CAN and WILL shock a lot of teams and people in this district this year, they can finish third!

If station camp finishes third in the district i will buy you a steak dinner.

Mt. Juliet is the most balanced team in 9AAA. Chowbay,Shepard and Frazier are a hard 3 to stop every game, the whole game. WC will be good as well. Not sure about the rest of the district.

I'll give it to you, Chowbay is a good player. Central did a good job slowing him down last year switching between Brandon and Oldham, both EXREMELY good defenders. But fraizer?! Can i please see his stats from last year because i gurantee there were people playing WWBA with better. And Shepard is a solid post player, however he is no match for St. Louis (WC's big man). St. Louis is 6'6" and moves very well.

can you line up on the center on field goal attempts in the tssaa? If no and someone does whats the penalty?

You can line up over the center yes but you can't hit the snapper with his head down on field goals or punts either one. Most teams stack someone roughly 5 yards off the ball and block him when he releases.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The season has yet to start and 9AAA has some really good coaching and so does 10AAA. Besides, who won the state tournament last year? We all know that Memphis and Knoxville will have some very good teams as will Cleveland High, Cleveland Tn and Science Hill from Johnson City.

By the way- XL cause of the "gun" show!!!

Good coaching? Joins, from Beech, has extremely underachieved with the talent he's been given in the past few years. They're extremely sloppy and unorganized. Mount Juliets coach, Allen, had to bring in Coach Keil from Lebanon a distrcit rival just to get some help... what does Memphis or Knoxville teams have to do with WC's district play. they wont have to take care of them until they get to the state tournament.

Could have, would have, should have- 9AAA was weaker than 10AAA last year, I do think that is flip-flopped this year. 9AAA should win all the games this year. Beech will be good, Wilson Central, Hendersonville, and Mt Juliet will all be better than any team in 10AAA

You got that right. Wilson Central has the ability to run the board in district play this year. What shirt size are you? Ill make sure to get you a state tournament shirt when WC plays in the Murphy Center.

Central would've easily won their region game if TSSAA hadn't suspended their leading scorer/district tournament MVP. they competed with clarksville northeast without him and still had a chance to win the game... yes a few of the staff did leave but in my opinion the replacements fit the system even better than they did and should be a big help.

Yes, their coach constantly changing the defense so that they never get good at any one of them.

The fact they're able to run so many defenses makes it difficult for teams to prepare for them. I'd say they were pretty good at it last year makin it to region, farther than any other team out of the 9-AAA district... the fact they return their top 8 players might help a little as well.

Is there anyone in the 9-AAA district or the entire region that can stop the wilson central boys this year?

Station camp has been, and will be, a sloppy, uncoached football team until there is a coaching change for the bison. only talent on this team is at the running back position, #5.

Who are the favorite teams in 9-AAA? Who are some players to watch?

Keep your eyes on Wilson Central this year. Head coach Anthony Ford has turned things around over there and is running a much better program. With help from Coach B. Howard and A. Schmeltzer the wildcats pose a real threat to anyone who is on their schedule this upcoming season. Although they will be fairly young and lack depth in their rotation, they have great leadership form their centerfielder, Devin Fish. I wouldn't want to hit the to centerfield, this kid can track just about anything down, not to mention how well he swings the bat. They have one of the best high-school catchers i've ever seen play, Dylan Prendergrast. He has an unbelievable arm, i would not reccomend trying to steal on this kid. One of the youngsters to watch will be first-basemen Jacob Wood. Both Prendergrast and Wood will be players to wacth for the next two years.

The most incredible finish to a game I've ever seen happened tonight. This will SURELY be seen by TSSAA and hopefully change how ALL officials are educated (and continually educated we hope) to manage the game.

The TSSAA will be taking a thorough look into this game. We have film from both schools, including school cameras from GHS. We have been in contact with the administration from both schools, as well as both coaches. All parties will be informed when a decision has been made.
