Camden Central...

I have yet to see Camden play this year, but I have kept up with their scores throughout the season. Is the consensus that they are the real deal, and have a shot to make a run into the state tournament? 

They are clearly the favorite in their district, and when they match up with District 12 I can still see them being the favorite. I know Milan is a solid team as well as Gibson, I was just wondering what the thoughts of the district are.

1. Fairview- 10-0

I think Fairview is a very good team, with a good combination of height and skill. they have not played any teams to date I would consider a test. The Christmas tourney period will tell a lot. I am excited to watch them match up with some teams on their schedule as the season continues 

2. Cheatham- 9-2

I still consider Cheatham at the top with Fairview, but with two losses I cannot rank them above or with them. I think the Christmas tournaments will let a lot of teams know where they stand. If Cheatham has a strong showing in their respective Christmas tournaments I can see putting them at the top.

3. Harpeth- 6-4

Winners of 6 straight Harpeth is playing some good ball. The strength of their early season schedule is paying off as it seems to have prepared them for district play. I still see them at as strong three for the rankings right now with Heritage right behind them. 

4. White House Heritage- 5-4

WHH has played some up-and-down basketball so far this season. I think if they can find some consistency they can still compete in this district. WHH has a busy week ahead I am interested to see what they can do. 

5. Sycamore- 4-7 

Being the only team in the region with a losing record I have to have them 5. I do think they have the potential to get better and compete in the region. They have played a tough schedule to this point and I look for them to keep improving. 

OVERALL DISTRICT- 34-17

This district is shaping up to be very tough I completely expect whichever teams come out of the district should win the region, and probably even push past the sub-state. Looking forward to the rest of the year and to seeing all the teams compete against each other.

Sounds like they are missing a lot more than last year than I thought. How many varsity guys did they return? Who’s the upcoming freshman?

Harpeth lost 4 contributors from last year's team. The 4 seniors they lost combined to average. 35.6 PPG and 18.4 Rebounds per game. I was expecting them to Play freshman Cj. Turner he has size and athleticism but from what I have seen and heard he is not playing very much. They do have a lot of seniors, but outside of a few, they do not have much experience.

Seeing some scores from the first night, I do believe that Fairview and Cheatham will be competing for the top spot. I know it is very early and they have only played one game, but Fairview seems to have replaced some key losses with some talent. I do think Harpeth can still compete, but it is going to take them getting their young guys more reps. I know they have a freshman they are expecting a lot out of.

Interested to see what you guys think about this. 

Just putting out this to see where everyone's mind is at.

1. CHEATHAM

2. FAIRVIEW

3. HARPETH

4. SYCAMORE

5. WHITE HOUSE HERITAGE
