nice post

[GWAVE1]

One of the most intelligent top lists that I have seen on here ever!

[FBEmeritus]

Agree with your post on most accounts.

 

I hope you are right on the money!!

[Cats'R'#1]

NICE!

I know they are 7-4, but Powell could be dangerous in 4A. They lost close games to Webb (13-12), Farragut (16-14), and Central (16-7), and they have a rematch with Maryville Friday night. It's a longshot, but if there is a dark horse candidate in East TN, it could be Powell.

I agree. They are a very dangerous team, and some nights they are just amazing. Then other nights they have been a little lackluster. Maybe they are one of those teams that plays to the level of their competition. If so, the next game could be a good one. If not, watch out, because Maryville can make it lights out in the blink of an eye.
