Who is the best team in Knoxville area?

[Know Nothing]

In no particular order:

 

Farragut -- tall and athletic

Halls -- senior heavy w/Cameron Sharpe and Zach Cantrell

Oak Ridge -- replacing three good starters (Domsic, Youkin and Coffey) w/ Dowdell and Stephens

Bearden -- replacing three good starters (White, Sibley and BJ)

Powell -- senior heavy w/ Chris Conner and Jason Seymore

Maryville -- athletic, used to winning

Austin East -- athletic always

Fulton -- athletic always w/ good defense

[IrishBBall]

Farragut will be very strong. They are tall and athletic with good shooters and depth. My only question with them is lack of consistent point guard play.

 

Halls will be strong on the perimeter. Cantrell is a hard working but undersized post.

 

Oak Ridge will be strong. Great coaching with players who buy into the system. Dowdell may be the top player in the area. Josh Gregory will give them some added size.

 

Bearden will be loaded inside with Jenkins and Simpson but will the new perimeter players get it done?

 

Powell Lee Smith will be very hard to replace. The team went as he went. If McGaha doesn't play, they won't have a force inside. Can Conner carry them?

 

Maryville by the end of the year will probably be the strongest team in the area. HUGE inside with Douglas, good guard play with a new coach that does a great job.

 

AE is AE. Very athletic but replacing alot with the loss of Kite and Barrett.

 

Fulton will be led by Gallmon a sophmore. They will need a super job from Wright to be there.

 

Alcoa may go deeper in the tourney than any of these if the football guys all play BB. Coming off a state tourney appearance with most of the players back.

The first team that came to my mind was Alcoa. I don't know cause I am from Chatt, and I don't know much about Knox bball. I just know about them cause i have fam in Maryville and seeing Alcoa play.

Thats a first. I am from Chatt and I have heard of Fulton, and Austin East. AE is good year in and year out. They play the best two teams in Chatt every year(Howard and Brainerd). and they either win or split the series every year.

Best 2 teams in Chattanooga? I'll give you Howard but Brainerd has fell way off.

Clinton may be thrown in the mix also.

Consistantly these are the two best teams in Chatt. Brainerd has great history and when you go out of town people only hear about howard and brainerd b-ball, no one else

no, but howard will be there this year

you can count on that!

[bulldogpride07]

bearden is going to be pretty young and inexperienced this year but the inside game is going to be the best in east tennessee with jenkins, simpson, and craig but the guards might be kinda weak. its hard to repeat the type of season they had last year especially without the trio
