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?

    • Began as a discussion, and evolved into a trainwreck...   Don't know how many of the TC "old guard" are left, but I feel for y'all.   Everybody has to get the last word... no matter the cost and sometimes the cost is high.
    • He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.
    • Dylan's Dad, I'm glad you replied. I wanted to reply but wasnt willing to take the bait. There were 20 wrestlers on the team. I may be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 5 of the 20 attend McCallie right now and one will next year. At most, there are/were 6 kids on that team who attend McC. That leaves 14 other team members who have ZERO affiliation with McC (outside of maybe some friends) who represented our state to the best of their ability and wrestled their butts off that weekend. That weekend was a first for Tennessee and obviously a small step in the right direction for us as a state. Congratulations TEAM TN BLACK!
