Rhea has everyone back from what I can remember from last year when they played us at EH.  They actually had us beat in the region at our place.  Looking on this website at last year's district schedule they split with Cookeville, beat White County both times, and played Stone pretty tough.  Stone graduated some good ones.  Cookeville graduated hands down their best player.  I'm not sure who White County graduated, but on paper Rhea was already better than them.  I think Rhea has to be considered a threat to win 6AAA.

I in a round about way said Rhea could win 6AAA.  If crazy things happen on our side could we see another Riverdale Smyrna situation?

East Hamilton and Cleveland both lost to Rhea and Hamilton Heights on Saturday at Rhea.  

East Hamilton and Cleveland are scrimmaging Rhea and Hamilton Heights tomorrow at Rhea.  There will be some really good basketball players in that gym.

One thing that I know for sure with the 4 teams in 6AAA and the three best teams in 5AAA the Region 3AAA tournament should have some awesome games.  Whoever wins your district will have a cakewalk, but the other three games will be coin tosses.

The season can't get here soon enough.  There should be some exciting games in district 5AAA.

One would think that 1-4 might be a tight race in that they can all beat each other.  By saying 1-3 has tightened up who are you saying is not a legit contender? 

East Hamilton has arguably the best player in the state.  They didn't have any SR's and gave Bradley all they wanted last year in every game as long as Hayes wasn't in foul trouble.  If she stays out of foul trouble there will be a new champion in District 5AAA.  I realize it's hard to talk until the games are played because nobody has beaten BC in several years, but I do believe East Hamilton breaks through this season.

From what I've read on here it was an employee at the school and not an actual coach that was coaching.  

I think they got a pretty harsh punishment for the crime.  

From what I'm hearing, Cleveland self reported the violation and the following sanctions have been imposed.  No open facilities for 30 days this fall. This includes conditioning, weight training, and coaches working with players.  So basically a 1 month dead period.  CHS will also give up two preseason scrimmages.  Furthermore they cannot have spring practice in 2018.  Looks like TSSAA dropped the hammer.

Glad people keep underestimating us. We have over achieved this year based on what outsiders think. I'm not gonna make a crazy statement and say we're gonna beat nationally ranked Memphis East, but we will show up and compete. GO CANES.

It's definitely been a heck of a run. We only have two seniors, so this should be the beginning of a lengthy dynasty for the Canes.

I can't wait to go watch my Canes in the Glass House. They got a really tough draw, but anything can happen.

If Howard had stayed at East Hamilton, Carter would not have found her way to Bradley. Not sure if Cleveland has the best coach in the district but he did wonders in turning East Hamilton around and Cleveland was definitely much improved. Every coach needs talent. Some coaches develop the players they have, others just go get the players they need.

Get your popcorn ready. East Hamilton is ready to drop the hammer if it goes down.

It's rumored that two transfers are already in the fold.

You can't talk about best teams in East TN without talking about Bradley, and you wouldn't be talking about Bradley without Howard who shouldn't be there.

Okay...Enough of this Hamilton, McMinn and Bradley County schools/coaches stealing players from other schools on this thread. This is way off topic. If you want to discuss that topic further, then start another thread. Otherwise, stick to the subject at hand.

Two of their top 3 players are from out of zone.

Bradley Central would just be average without recruiting.

Funny how that bona fide change of address occurred after summer camps and spring AAU ball playing with players on the Riverdale squad.  Save it for some of the more ignorant Coacht-ers.  Howard at Bradley is totally legal by TSSAA rules also, but nobody will ever read or hear about the back room deals that were made in both situations.  

I'm pretty sure that your precious Warriors once stole a kid from East Hamilton as well.  So you might want to mind your own business.

That's Chatt bball, lookout if you have a player, they will come. Now with the new TSSAA rules nothing can stop the privates from snatching them up. THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T PLAY THEM EVER, especially HH. Make them drive 300 miles to get a game and kids from chatt won't attend that school. Don't play HH

It would not surprise me to see the Hayes and Lacy girls both stolen away from East Hamilton. If East Hamilton can keep them, this might be the beginning of a Hamilton County public school powerhouse.
