Better not forget about grainger in AA. They are always good. Don't know that any of the teams can top Cyclones from elizabethton though.

Mo west has most impressive resume so far having beaten everyone by an average of more than 35 points. There closest game was 22 points. All the AAA teams from Blount county are off to great starts. It will be fun to see who wins county bragging rights as William Blount and Coach Wright are playing a style that can beat a lot of teams this year. Knoxville- Bearden and Farragut are above Hardin valley but the gap has narrowed and we'll see who comes out on top. Other AAA teams to keep an eye on would be Jeff Co as they made run to state last year. As far as AA, Fulton and GP are probably best teams closest to Knoxville this far with GP most likely having edge since they got Fulton's PG...even if she is only JV helps GP because she is not leading the falcons anymore. Thought Alcoa would be little better and CAK has had quite a bit if adversity but didn't expect such a slow start. Haven't seen them play yet. Is their KState guard hurt too? Saw they recently lost to south Doyle (definitely an improved SD team though). I don't know much about single A teams so can't comment. Coming weeks will tell us a lot as teams play more and more district games.

Not sure about coach Parton but do know GP has a great assistant coach in Conchita Johnson. She was very successful at PF. As far as the girl that transferred...doesn't she have a sister in middle school still living with their mom in Knoxville-could be wrong about that...not sure but if it's true Maybe that's why tssaa didn't accept hardship. From fulton's perspective they lose a freshmen who helped lead team to state tournament to the team they have played last two years for district title so can understand why they aren't happy. She may be in a better financial situation now but what evidence was there to suggest that moving away from mom and sister was best overall for her...don't know the family so I can't say if it was or not. Maybe the move will have a great impact on her life but with history of transfers to GP in boys and girls basketball over the last decade it does create questions...even to those with no dog in the fight.
