AAA State Tournament

[FranklinHSfan]

PreSeason picks from Middle TN: 1. Antioch 2. Franklin

 

Both teams appear to have talent and depth.

 

 

With both teams deep with talent, it may come down to discipline, coaching and HEART. Go FHS Rebels!! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Shelbyville and White county as of right now are teams to beat in middle,personally i feel antioch,and wilson central not far behind should be a good season of hoops.

 

 

Does Shelbybille have anyone playing football. I know their season will end this friday but i was just curious.

If this is any indication of the season, Antioch destroyed Franklin and Ravenwood without all of their players. Football is still playing.

Dobyns-Bennett has an extreme amount of talent. A lot of people are ruling out D-B because of the 5 seniors they lost...the team this year will be reloaded and BETTER than last year. And Greeneville...I was at the D-B Greeneville game at King College this summer. Dobyns-Bennett ran them out of the gym in every aspect of the game. Offense and defense. D-B is an offensively gifted team this year. Dobyns-Bennett stepped on Greeneville by 30 in that game this past summer...AND THAT WAS WITHOUT 2 OF THEIR BEST 3 GUARDS, Justin Sylvester and Dustin McConnell...

 

Who does Maryville have left after last year's team?

[ballerfan22]

How do you know Greeneville had all their players during this summer game against DB?....I hope you continue to think that any team will beat Greeneville by 20 because you are in for a big surprise, Greeneville will never get blown out of the gym by any team and anyone that knows anything about basketball in East Tennessee knows that just don't happen under Coach Duncan!!! This year's team will surprise many just wait and see

Here should be some of the favorites from West and Middle Tn

 

Ridgeway, Memphis Central, Craigmont, Raliegh Eqypt, Clarksville, Antioch, Gallatin, Wilson Central. Those teams would come from Region 5, 6, 7 and 8.

 

Liberty Tech and Lavergne would be honorable mentions.

 

 

Well, the four choices of the Memphis teams are not too bad but it's too bad they ALL can't get to State. It's only possible for two teams from Memphis to make it to State. Ridgeway (District 15 AAA) and Central (16 AAA) are in Region 8 AAA. Raleigh Egypt (why do always forget the hyphen) and Craigmont are both in Region 7, District 14 AAA. These two regions' top two teams would play each other in the Sub-State game and two would be eliminated thus only two from Memphis can only make it to State.

 

Don't know too much about Central yet. Raleigh-Egypt plays them in 2 weeks we'll see how they'll do. Ridgeway in still pretty good and they have a tough test @ Raleigh-Egypt this coming Friday. Don't let Craigmont fool you. They had a fluke year last year with their first time getting to State. Craigmont has had way better talent (Keiron Shine, Big Steve Jackson, Jeremy Hunt) and teams (i.e. their 1999-2000 team was loaded and included Big Steve Jackson and Jeremy Hunt). They're not doing too well this year as evidenced by their 4 losses and they haven't started playing the tought city teams yet!!! Raleigh-Egypt had a solid win against White Station on this past Friday and are looking in great shape to make another run. Personally, even though White Station is my alma mater's arch rival, they are talented, go about 8-9 deep, and haven't got transfer Wing Farrakahn until the Christmas break. Looks to be a good regular season here in Memphis!!!

henry county will contend they get no love but just wait they will sneak up on somebody and beat them and make it there for the first time in school history!

[PinballWizard]

Bearden will win the state championship..Honestly I do not think they will lose the rest of the year.

But that's just not true.

 

They already lost to Maryville, who was missing Douglas.

 

 

Peace,

wow...5 pages and no mention of Oak Ridge..

 

 

Really....I just noticed this thread and started on page 1. Nobody mentioned Oak Ridge! Right now It looks like the Wildcats are the best team in the East. I think it will be Oak Ridge and Maryville going to State from this end.
