I think you forgot the Lady Indians of Sequatchie County?

 

They didn't lose anyone off last seasons team that had a 23-8 record and from what I have heard they have looked very good in summer camps.

Are you talking about just Hamilton County? If not and you're leaving out the Bradley teams, Sequatchie, Grundy and McMinn Central should be considered for your list.

[mtnman]

yes they should be good.

 

I wanted to narrow in on Chattanooga. If Bradley Central is not in Chattanooga, Sequatchie is not. I made that trip 8 times in two weeks last year and it ain't in Chattanooga.

 

We do need an all-area top ten as well. Feel free to add it.

I think Tyner and CCS are too high on your list, considering what they lost from last year. I might have Brainerd a spot higher and Temple up a bit further too. Sequatchie plays Tyner in a hall of fame game, each team will see what they have early. Seq did play well in camps, beat some good teams by a few points, beat some usually okay teams by a lot, lost a few too, but camp games don't always tell the whole story. Seq and GPS were at the same camp but didn't play, I wanted to see how they'd do against the Bruisers, it was just a scheduling quirk as Seq played Ooltewah twice there and beat them pretty badly both times, one was around 65-20. I think Soddy-Daisy will be okay this year too, it's just hard to build any AAA team in Chattanooga when it's nearly always a first round region loss. Doesn't Baylor have a girl who's 6'4"?

For an area top 10, any combination of Cleveland, Walker Valley and Bradley, then McMinn County and McMinn Central plus Cumberland and Stone if they count as being in the area. Seq, Grundy, Polk should have good teams.

As far as I know, Baylor used to have a big girl but I do not remember seeing her last year. Maybe I just missed her but that would be hard to do. She may have been out last year or it may be someone new. It has amazed me that Baylor cannot have a compitive girls basketball program.

 

GPS would not have had Carly Morrow this summer due to knee surgery. I believe she will be back for b-ball season. She committed to Kentucky last year.

 

See any team in Hamilton County better than those outside? (Clev, Bradley, Sequatchie, Polk ect)

GPS, if everybody is healthy, should be able to give most everyone a good game. Brainerd usually has some huge posts, I think one of them would have boosted their team last year but was ineligible, not sure if she's back. Baylor's freshmen and sophomores played Seq's freshmen and sophomores in a tournament around Christmas, without two of Seq's better young players (leading varsity scorer was one of them) but still Baylor played them close. Walker Valley only beat Seq by a few in the same tournament so Seq wasn't dropping off much despite missing some people, maybe Baylor is getting better. Around 10 years ago they had some really good teams, won the region one season after beating Bradley and hosted Shelbyville in a substate game. Seq is still a young team, two seniors, two juniors two freshmen and around 7 sophomores, so they still have a lot of work to get where they want to be. I've seen for myself how hard they work out in the weight room though, for an example, so it's clear that they're a very determined group. I think the sophomores are around 75-12 since sixth grade, and the older players are talented too even though they're overlooked sometimes due to the overall youth of the team.

Walker Valley has since added transfer from McMinn Cherokees that was 2nd leading scorer last year. I would start moving WV up higher.

Indian, someone from down your way told me that the team got a transfer from Munford? Any truth to it?
