I'm sure all of those guys are good, but I would still take Powers over any of them. He hit 6 or more threes in 6 freshmen games last year. He was 8-11 against Oak Ridge. You will all see before it's all said and done. Just remember you heard it hear first.

 

The Maryville two guard's name is Wes Lambert, and yes he can shoot.

I will remember that...... but also remember that it is freshman basketball that you are talking about. There becomes a real difference in just spotting up and catching and shooting in freshman versus being able to work for your own shot off the dribble from 3. Also it is much easier when you got a guy coming at you that is at max 6'1 or 6'2 versus a MAN that is 6'6 or 6'7 in the varsity level. Also my grandmother could stand there with nobody guarding her and make 60 out of 100 three's. There is a big difference in shooting with nobody guarding you and in the lights of a game. The guys that I have given you are proven shooters. They have and will get it done in the lights. Only time will tell for this young kid. So for now I think I leave him off. But I will be waiting to hear from him.

Here are my best shooters in ALL of EAST TENN.

 

1. Isaac Snapp (EAST)

2. Daryl Florence (Austin East)

3. Todd Halvorsen (DB)

4 Dustin McConnell (DB)

5. Maryville 2 guard forgot his last name.

6. Josh Odem (Science Hill)

7. Jason Seymore Powell.. (I think)

 

 

Snapp can fill it up... good addition to the list.

 

Maryville 2 guard that can stroke it is Wes Lambert. He is another guy that can catch fire from 3. A couple more I thought of were Slusher from Grace and Michael Haynes from Heritage.

All right fair enough. Hope to hear from him. Is he playing varsity this season?? AND YES! Wes Lambert is the player from Maryville that can shoot very well.

 

Snapp is the top #1. And my #2 is tight after him. My #3 and #4 are close together. Then after that the rest of my guys are close and in a bundle.

Yeah I agree with Fanofall. Though Powers may be a great shooter, there is a BIG difference in the level of Varsity and Freshman. How tall is he?

 

My list goes......

 

1. Snapp (Sullivan East)

2. Florence (Austin East

3. McConnell (Dobyns Bennett)

4. Halvorsen (Dobyns Bennett)

5. Lambert (Maryville)

6. Odem (Science Hill)

 

 

 

He is 5'5, but like I said if he is open he will make it. The thread was not who are the talest pure shooters it was who are the great shooters in East Tennessee. In all actuality he may not get many shots off, but if he does it's going in.

Jason Rock from Central shoots the 3. If he hits a couple in a row you better make sure someone is in his face the rest of the night,or he will send you home crying.

 

Also. I am not a hater. But those 2 db guys you mentioned,that only played JV last year. Do they have nerves of steel,because I think I have seen Charlie Morgan psyche some people out. Like get them thinking if they miss a shot they are coming out of the game,that may affect some of these guys with no varsity experience. I am just curious to your opinions on that or if that has any truth to it at all.

 

Go Cougars!

I didn't mention the fact that Powers was also the leading scorer on JV last season for the Panthers. He scored 20+ many times making 5 and 6 threes in several JV appearances. If he had been physically ready he would have played more and possibly started on varsity. If his body catches up with his skill he will be tremendous. Only time will tell

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
