2003 AAA SWEET 16

[Smuff]

Dyersburg loses three good players but those can be replace they return 6'8 Daniel cheatman, and no doubt soph jeremy taylor runnin the show. they have alot of talent on the team just watch this squad is going to mtsu next spring

[tnwareagle]

Bradley will have as much talent as they ever have had.

Expect them to challenge anyone. Rhea County was young this year and made it to the substate, I expect them to be even better. Cleveland High also will be strong. Cumberland County has most of their starters back, and although they did not advance this year, they gave evryone good games. This district will be a very tough one. Cleveland, Bradley, Cumberland, and Rhea. Throw in McMinn, who can be explosive on nights, and you have no weak games.

Hendersonville does not lose 4 starters. They lose 3. Their starting lineup was Danny Wicke, Andy Wicke, Ben Bostic, Seth Matlock, Cory White. They will still be good with Andy, Ben, and a large number of other juniors and sophomores stepping up.

as far as region 7 goes, the four best teams will be (no particular order):

 

bartlett

bolton

dyersburg

northside

 

bartlett will be the region favorite...key question is can they replace adrian?...they should be tough

 

bolton returns their significant players, but they were thumped by dyersburg when dyersburg was healthy..

 

dyersburg will have the physically strongest and quickest team that they have seen in 10 years... they feature a solid outside shooter in 6'8 chatham...the surpise will be the 6'5 center "barnett" who has not played hs since his freshmen year who could develope as the regions second best post player outside of bartlets fredrick...they also feature one of west tenn top soph guards in j taylor...

 

northside will be tough as well as they have two outstanding players in the delk brothers....

 

if dburg developes some chem, then the region should be between bartlett and dburg....

cooper can take hare and davis can take pickle so i have no clue what yur talkin about bradleys gaurds bein unmatched...besides charles little will dominate next 3 yrs

[anspa]

i have to agree with tnwareagle completley

it s too close to call

[FIREMANFRANK]

i agree its who gets the breaks---also heard a couple of coaches may be moving in that district????????

[gomab2]

Bradley and Cleveland both have legit shots at State....

 

Cleveland's guards are EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS BRADLEY'S, and they are rising-juniors as well....

 

Tim Cooper and Jay Davis are special players....

[tnwareagle]

I agree they are special players, but you don't personally know Bradley's guards. They have not played for you like those two. Pickel and Pugh have played on the same AAU teams with Cooper and Davis, and they all three played on a team with Cooper. People in the Cleveland area think that Bradley's three guards are quite "special." They are as good together as any three guards in the state. Cleveland also has a couple of good posts that will challenge Charles Little. The games between these two teams will be intense.

I hate to lose a gut like AJ...but replacing him won't be half as tough as it was this year...having to replace three key players from 2001's championship team...namely...Loe,Duggin,...and our very own TJ. The problem is...AJ is 6'5....and was our only size other than Ben Frederick.
