Who do you think has the best chance to win the state in AAA?

Raleigh Egypt & Craigmont are contenders

Greeneville...depending on how Wiggins plays. If Wiggins is shut down, I just don't see the rest of the team stepping up. Don't look past Da Hill either.

Isn't it Bradley Central's turn?

Im saying Raleigh Egypt and Ridgeway in the championship with Raleigh Egypt winning it all.

Ridgeway 55 Fairley 53 ( Ridgeway won by 2 or 3 pts... not sure which, exactly)

Anyway, Raleigh Egypt & Craigmont are bona fide State Title Contenders; I'm not so sure about Ridgeway!

 

Ridgeway has good size but they just don't shoot the ball very well, at all! After seeing them in action, 3 or 4 times this season, I'm not surprised that they got rocked by Liberty. I am very SHOCKED that managed to beat Raleigh Egypt, however!

 

Don't get me wrong, I like Ridgeway. In fact, I'm a bit partial towards Ridgeway. I just don't see them going very deep into the playoffs, though....If an opponent can play a tough zone and force Ridgeway into a fast paced game and/or shoot the ball from the outside, then Ridgeway will struggle mightly. Their outside shooting is just horrible, so much so that one (me, anyway) is surprised anytime their outside shots go in. Seriously. Heck, they struggle just making wide open, uncontested jumpers! Ridgeway is clearly a team whose success depends heavily on a slower paced game, featuring 2 or 3 foot shot-attempts.

 

I admit, Ridgeway manages to dictate the pace of its game very well. Its quite apparent that Ridgeway's coach (Henning) KNOWS his squad's strengths and weaknesses, and does a great job of getting his players to play towards the successful end of those parameters.

 

At the end of the day, however, Ridgeway's quality coaching just might be the wild card that propels them from "pretender" status, to State Title "contender" status, along with RE and Craigmont.

Not sure Clarksville will walk through the region..They've obviously had a tough road to the championship. Anytime you can beat a Gallatin, Lavergne, and most likely Mt Juliet to win region then have to turn around and host Whites Creek, Franklin, Antioch, or McGavock thats tough. Then to top that off the winner of the substate game gets a Memphis team first round of state if I'm not mistaken. So Clarksville will have a tough road to travel.

Oakland is a Contender no doubt about it!
