232323 Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Lets go ahead and get the ball rolling for the strongest region in 5A football..(Region 6 is kinda close). Who are the haves and who are the have nots.. My Prediction: 1. Smyrna (Way too much talent) 2. Riverdale (OL returns...will be hard to beat...however need to pass more than once a game) 3. LaVergne (Tillery is the real deal) 4. Lebanon (Young and talented...although the 4 spot is usually up for grabs) 5. Oakland ( Need to get in the playoffs or some coaches may need to find another line of work....its been too long and there has been to much talent) 6. Siegel (Lots of returning players...if they dont get to the playoffs this year....see explanation for Oakland) 7. Wilson Central (Lack returning talent to make a run) 8. Blackman (Are returning a few players, but none that can make an impact...by far the worst team in this region..even a descent freshman class cant help) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they have yet to play with any consistancy. Also because they are losing some key players and have yet to get the Smyrna monkey off their backs. Until then LaVergne will be fighting with WC and Siegel to see who is going to be in the cellar of Region 4. Blackman 'may' be the surprise team this year, but they still could be a year away. It will depend on what they really do this off season. "IF" and this is a big if, R'dale develops a true PASSING attack it could be interesting for the entire state. While I believe in its WingT running attack it would be nice to see a passing attack thrown in to keep folks honest and not automatically load the box every play. Smyrna lives and dies with its passing attack as it has yet to develope a consistant running game against everybody. Lebanon, while not consistant yet, is building a power house balanced attack.

Lavergne lost its qb and has a new coach. I know how u feel about being looked over, but i just think lavegne will be around that area in the standings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistancy how could you possibly say that..... LaVergne won 6 games in a row after they lost to R'dale and when they lost to Smyrna guest what Smyrna came out to be at the end of the year 5A state champs..... so i do not get what you are saying about LaVergne is fighting with WC and Siegel. Plus we really haven't even lost a lot of key players.... The only players we are losing is A-Rod and the O-line.... Isnt everyone losing there Q.B in Region 4 (except Smyrna n Siegel)....and LaVergne Defense is coming back.... We all know Defense wins Championships....I place LaVergne #3 in the Pre-Season Poll.

HSsportsfootball Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 LaVergne lost a lot on offense and its almost scary to think if Lavergne can patch up those areas. But Lavergne has a lot of talent returning including the leading rusher going into next year, all-state WR, and an all-state CB. Scary thing is, and to be completely honest, no support from the underclassmen (09 & 10).....................................yet. Terry Hodges and Kareem Wiggins are two excellent freshman, soon to be sophomores. Hodges might even be fighting for a starting spot. But there is definately no comparison between 08's underclassmen and 09's...The underclassmen better step it up because we had 0 starting sophomores starting, and maybe 3 switched in. 2008 class had 9 starters and about 4 that switiched in when they were underclassmen. The coaching deal won't be a factor. Hester will pick up right where LaVergne left off. But something really has to be done about the QB and OL deal.
