Best Hockey teams in the State who are they? My opinion is Pope John Paul II HS ..

 

If they brought most of their guys from last year, they are certainly the team to beat. Ravenwood may be the best all-around team I've ever seen on the high school level though, which sorta suprised me because they lost alot of key guys last year.

Ravenwood and JPII 1-1 tie...

 

 

Hey Knightime, you were close on the prediction.. Ravenwood and JPII tied 2-2 on Jan 25 which should give Ravenwood the regular season title. I thought Ravenwood looked the stronger team.. no losses so far in regular season, more depth and better D. Ravenwood's first line is tough. JPII has some great individual players that carry their team, the best one is the russian kid, too bad he doesn't pass! Check out the GNASH Hockey website.

I was there. It was actually pretty even. Ravenwood scored 1st on an amazing play where the JPII defensemen tried to breakout with a cross ice pass through his own slot, the Ravenwood kid knocked the puck down out of mid-air and fired a nasty shot on net, the goalie saved the shot, but was completely out of position for the rebound. JPII was playing catch-up the whole game, seemed like Ravenwood led most of the time, I felt JPII was lucky to tie, the Ravenwood goalie messed up, caught the puck in his glove and then dropped it in his crease and a little dude from JP knocked it in to tie the game. Ravenwood was not playing their normal offensive push game, they were obviously playing safe to preserve a win or a tie, either tie or win meant Ravenwood wins the regular season title and an automatic berth to state playoffs, they played neutral zone trap for almost the entire 3rd period. shots were almost even. JPII did dominate for the last 65 seconds, they pressed hard, freshman D from Ravenwood turned the puck over and gave the russian a breakaway with 26 seconds left in the game, goalie caught the shot in his glove. In any case, it sets up a nice rematch in the GNASH playoff tournament, they should meet in the semi-final on Feb 22, if JPII can get past MBA? I'm looking forward to seeing both teams play all out, winner take all game.

Wouldn't JPII and Ravenwood meet in the finals since they are 1 and 2 seeds? I'm not sure I know how the brackets are set up. Thanks!

JPII advances to the championship game with a 6-2 win over Ravenwood. Thoughts?

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
