According to GT tweeter, the Mavs won the Gatorade 7v7 at UT today. 32 teams from 8/9 states were represented.

Bearden wins Region 2 and will play the loser of SH/DB on Monday night in the Sectionals at Bearden. The winner of the SH/DB game Thursday will clinch a spot in the state tournament with a bye in the Sectionals.

Rankin is not going anywhere he can't draw his state retirement from. He is on 120 day contract at Alcoa. That would be hard to match.

Steve WIlliams is a good man. I am sure he wants to be a head coach again after Overton principal railroaded him.

Of course Perry is wanting out. He just had all his athletes zoned to Green Hill.

Kriesky is in a tough spot. The toughest region in the state. Privates poach his athletes.

Rang is always looking to move.

Lots of new teams. Should be interesting to say the least.

No Maryville?

This thread has probably been done before in years past but I thought it would be good discussion while the NFL Draft is going on.

Who is the highest draft pick from your school?

What HS program lays claim to the highest draft choice from Tennessee?

How about this:

• Season starts one month later than normal
• Only play region games (probably max of 7 games)
• Nobody has an "off" week
• Then start the playoffs based on region results

Yeah, it's not perfect, for one thing not all teams have the same # of region games.   But you have to hope that someone at the T$$AA is at least contemplating some kind of plan.

 

Impossible to put into legislature "only play region games" because nobody has the same number of regions (heck even some in Memphis only have 3 region games) but I do like a season starting a little later but playoffs starting around the regular scheduled time in November.

HV will hire an assistant coach or possibly a sitting HC from outside Knox County. KCS is not going to approve a HC hire moving over from another KCS school. At this point in the year, KCS will want to have all their schools with a HC after the HVA hire and not have to go through the process again at another school. Another interesting notion is the appointment of Mr. Speas coming over from Fulton to be the new principal at HVA. It will interesting to see how things turn out.

who does Bradley have to pitch in the championship game? Farragut will no doubt pitch Ryan Hagenow

Bri Blair from Halls, and Catelyn Riley from JC have been more than impressive all year. Riley is only a sophomore too.

There were some very good teams, legit contenders, that were not able to advance past these two clubs from the east.  Powell, Farragut, AC, S. Hill, Mo East, Boone were all capable of making some noise in the Boro.

Congrats to...

Farragut

Science Hill

Bradley Central

Riverdale

Independence

Summit

Bartlett 

Arlington

some huge upsets in sectionals in Memphis. Drawings happen Sunday. Best of luck to everyone!

Sectional matchups (predictions in bold)

Farragut at Tennessee

Science Hill at Hardin Valley

Lincoln Co at Bradley Central

Soddy Daisy at Riverdale

Independence at Station Camp

Hendersonville at Summit

Arlington at Bartlett (Regional, played tonight)

Houston at Collierville (Regional, played tonight)

I expect both Houston and Collierville to both win their sectionals tomorrow, Bartlett can beat Houston if they see each other Friday

Scotty Dykes, former assistant at HVA in Knoxville, took the Cocke County job in Newport.

Thats debatable.  If Alcoa was 6a they also would be meeting the Rebels twice a year instead of once.  You can't say that well since they beat them in the regular season that they would be beat them in the Play-offs.  Oakland last year is a prime example of that

True. But my point was to @BatmanDB that Alcoa wouldn't be winning national championships losing to Maryville every year in the regular season.

Good story RR.Alcoa is something special,they can step on the field with most teams nomatter who they are.If they were 6A,you would probably see national championships on top of state championships.

I wouldn't go that far. 

If Alcoa was 6A, they'd still only have 3 wins vs the Rebs in the last 13 years

This team could surprise some people this year. I think they will definitely be in the playoffs. 

Probably better overall. Kees dropped Farragut, Rhea, and WV for Sequoyah, Bearden and Notre Dame. But the Kees have been 2-10 in the region the last two years. That's where they need to make the improvement.

From what I understand, Sevier County dropped us, creating the open date in the schedule or it would have remained the same.  Clinton then moved into the spot left by Sevier County as they lined up the Region games.  Then they had to try to fill an 8th game and an away game created by Clinton moving. Every potential opponent was contacted close around here, all declined to play including AC, Bearden and several others.  Even checked some Western North Carolina schools, schedules didn't match up (you have to have the same open date). Both Mt. Juliet and OR were talking but each was hoping they could find a closer opponent, but it didn't work out, so they agreed to play a two year home in home with us going there first, then they come here in 2020.  They are going to be pretty good and be a tough opponent. 

Spot on. Also to note, when a team declines to play it doesn't necessarily mean they don't WANT to play... now this could have been the case with SC as they were set to renew. But most times when adding a new opponent and they decline it could be because the home and away dates didn't match up. The problem here is that every district has a different number of teams and each district determines the weeks are their "district" weeks. OR was needing a non-district away game late in the schedule, and there aren't many teams needing a non-district home game that late. Just worked out the way it does sometimes.

Passy probably on the softball threads

Looks as though most of 5A/6A for the Knoxville area have been added.

From what I've seen through ~1st month of the season thus far I have my Top 3 teams for each classification (A-AAA). They have changed back from my previous post that was very early on in the season after only a couple of games played.

Class A

1. Gibson County

2. Trinity Christian (TCA)

T-3. Loretto

T-3. Greenback

Class AA

1. Stewart County

2. Greeneville

3. Greenbrier

Class AAA

1. Collierville (I think heavy favorites to win AAA state title)

2. Farragut

T-3. Houston

T-3. East Hamilton

Others that could play a factor in the postseason in each class are as follows (no particular order):

Class A

East Robertson, Eagleville, & Lookout Valley

Class AA

Elizabethton, Riverside, & Loudon

Class AAA

Summit, East Hamilton, & Powell

Collierville will play at Farragut next Thursday 6:00 pm as part of the Diamond/DeMarini Tournament in Knoxville that weekend.

2004 when Rankin threw the game so the Coach now at LaVergne had a shot at the 5a championship.  Y'all really should have won that Gold Ball but your Coach did like usual.  HE CHOKED!

Thank You T$$AA..........................NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, but it was actually 2005 season, semifinals. Rankin's last at RHS with the younger Thomas brother at QB and Gaston Miller at RB. OR had the Gulmire brothers as QB/RB. 17-0 W for the Wildcats.
