Here are my September picks for the single A state tournament in March 2006. It is never too early to talk about it!

 

Regions 1-2: Oliver Springs and Unaka

Regions 3-4: Jackson Co and Clarkrange

Regions 5-6: Perry Co and Summertown

Regions 7-8: Gleason and Union City

 

Regions 1 and 2: Just a guess after Oliver Springs, Oliver Springs has possibly the most talented freshman in the state!

 

Regions 3 and 4: Loaded! Gold and Silver balls very well could end up here, certainly one of them will! Don't count out Clay Co either! But my money would be on legend!

 

Regions 5 and 6: Perry Co has 2 excellent players (also Ms Basketball) returning from a substate team, Summertown has been there before!

 

Regions 7 and 8: Gleason is the best team in these regions, they play fundamental basketball. They lost in the state finals last year (it just happen to be in Gleason in the region semis :D ) My upset pickhere is Union City, they are up and coming, and moving to single A will help considerably. Trenton, Greenfield, Humboldt, and Riverside could make some noise.

 

 

Final Four (dependant upon bracket):

 

Jackson Co

Clarkrange

Gleason

Oliver Springs

 

What does everyone think? I want to here from ptguard12, especially about the Middle Tennessee regions...

I have possibly a more limited information base than some folks, but, I am opinionated. I say JACKSON CO. OLIVER SPRINGS CLARKRANGE are the top three contenders. I am afraid that Clarkrange's experience level might give them the top advantage. Jackson County has the best coach and probably the best players, but can they hold up to the pressure? Oliver Springs, has yes, one of the top Freshman in the state, BUT, as good as she is, If Oliver Springs don't make their run count this year, I doubt that they can compete with Jackson County (as a whole) over the next several years. And Oliver Springs probably knows this, I say that They will work really hard to make it count. I think that single A will be a fun to follow this year. My money would be on (if I had any) JACKSON COUNTY. HAVE FUN GIRLS!

Clarkrange has the best coach. Brown at Jackson Co. is a good coach, but he doesn't have the numbers that Rogers has. Should be a great state tourney this season. That's my opinion. :thumb:

Who is the freshman star?

(SORRY) I was referring the the post earlier, speaking of the Freshman from Oliver Springs. I understand that she is possibly the top Freshman in the State and don't doubt it and I also think that Clarkrange is positioned for a State run with their experience level. I also Think that Jackson County is more the total package. A Strong Experienced Coach and Strong experienced players add a deep Bench and a lot of (WANT TO). HARD TO BEAT

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
