3-4A This Year (Spring and Otherwise)

[bobbybooshay]

Not speak for LSMFT, but exactly what circumstances could you be speaking of?

[sneakypete]

the school system will allow some transferes if a parent works at a certain school or if a school offers courses that a student wants to take that are not offered in their zone, etc...

[ruse?]

Maryville rolls. Just too much this year. Burnette, Shiver, Douglas, Clendenan, Englehrdit, etc. Coaching is great on and on.

 

I'm not convinced about West yet. Sure they have Ryan and Easterly, and now Jack Wagner from what I hear. They lost a heck of a OT and some other key folks up front last year. Whaley is back, but he will have to play both sides of the ball this year. How will Kolinsky and some the other OL step up? Who will provide the rushing yds to set up the throwing game? Defense, with Whaley, Coley, etc. should be ok. I just don't see them as a lock for #2.

 

Jamie Wilson is a player @ Central. Hope he is off the court for good. Needs to stay in the weight room to minimize potential for injury. If he does not get hurt this yr, he could really break out just as he should have last yr. I think Central will surprise. Yes they lost some good folks, but that staff has talent.

 

The fourth spot. If Halls gets out to a fast start, and can carry some confidence into the 2nd half of the season, this could be a program ready to turn positive. Julian has generated good buzz, but the $s just won't flow for the facilities needed until the W's show up. Maybe it's me, but it just seems like Halls has a tough start at the Jamboree every year, and then takes a while to get going.

That may change with halls playing AE in the jamboree this year instead of Webb.

 

I see 3-4A like this for the coming season:

 

1. Maryville = big surprise there, who ever would have thought that?? With all the boys they have coming back I don't see this year being the end of an era.

 

2. West = What can I say, speed kills, they certainly proved it last year. Although they do have great coaching and will have a great season I dont believe they are on Maryville's level just yet.

 

3. Central/Halls =

Central= Great coaching and a great RB. Wilson may be the best running back in the region and maybe even all of 4A if he is healthy. Although speed does kill, and central has plenty of it, size punishes. and central does not have plent of that which is why they may do worse then they have in years past.

 

Halls = This could be a wild card team. It is basically the same team as last year, well minus Cooper, but he may not be missed as much as people think. Now that this young team has gotten older, had a few more hairs start growing on certain areas of their body, they could come together and be one very strong team this year.

 

5. Powell/Clinton/South Doyle= these 3 may be all equal this year

 

Powell= Loss of talent will defiantly hurt, but the new coach could possibly turn things around

 

Clinton = Strong JV teams the last 2 years and could possibly upset one of the teams in the top 4.

 

South Doyle = If the coach could establish some disipline from the team they may end up having a pretty good season.

 

8. Lenior City = sorry boys, but moving to 3A next time they do the split may help ya'll out.

[LSMFT]

When did Powell get a new coach?

[ZCAR]

Last year and he is actively searching for assistants at the moment.

Powell and Halls are "closed zone" schools. The only way one can get a transfer in to either school is if one is a minority student transferring in. Otherwise one has to live in Powell or Halls to attend either Powell or Halls.

 

Unless things have changed over the last year or so, Powell and Halls are the only two closed zone high schools left in the Knox County system.

[KnoxWest#63]

Red Bank had a very good team last year. With all due repect to 3-4A, the Region was down last year. Certainly Central and Powell were. Knox West was better, but not one of the Top 5 in TN, ET, or Knox/Blount area IMHO. Saying that "every Knox team we played could barely score" is not accurate. Red Bank, as I recall beat 3A Austin East 14-13. That would be the same Austin East that finished 3rd in Region 2-3A behind a couple of other little 3A programs that you might have heard of; Catholic and Fulton. There was this other little DII school that happened to beat AE last year by the name of Webb. Thats right, the same Webb school that lost to Catholic by a point. Thats right, the same Catholic that beat Fulton, who returned the favor.

Thats right the same Fulton that beat Alcoa. Yup the same little 2A Alcoa that lost to Maryville 17-14, and beat McCallie. So, from a "team" standpoint, I think it is fair to say that Maryville (4A State Champ), Fulton (3A State Champ), Alcoa (2A State Champ), Webb (D II State Champ), and Catholic (beat Fulton, Webb, AE) would be 5 teams in the Knox/Blount area that could be ranked ahead of Red Bank if Red Bank were in this area. I could also put Morristown West & Farragut in that group.

 

To take the argument to a "state-wide" or "East Tennessee" wide would be silly. Kingsport DB, Ooltewah, then Riverdale, Hillsboro, Brentwood Academy, Melrose, etc, etc.

 

Talent wise Red Bank certainly had that with All State performers Caldwell @ DB, Sims @ LB, and Ledbetter @ QB. Maryville had both the Lineman of the Year (Douglas) and Back of the Year (Maples). Fulton had All State players Rogan, Stokes, Hammilton, Higgins, and Freeney(I think). Austin East had Troutman, Anderson. Catholic had Smith, Franklin, and Tait. Alcoa had Sykes, Lanxter, Sommer, Shiverdecker, Hicks. Webb had Beller, Kirby-Jones.

 

Red Bank loses Dee Staton out of the backfield. Also gone is Cory Emery and Jeff Cherne up front. On D, lost are Balazy, Lewis, Dewett, and Hollis up front. Also gone are Landers and Parmers, as well as Taylor (LBs/DB).

 

Now, I am sure coach Daniels will have the Lions ready for 07, and that they will be very good once again. I am equally sure that Coach Daniels would not shout out to the world that Red Bank deserves to be in the Top 5-6 of all the teams in Tennesse regardless of classification. Why? Because it does'nt matter one bit right now.
