1. Franklin

2. Brentwood

3. Centennial

4. Hillsboro

5. Overton

6. Ravenwood

7. Independence

8. Hillwood

 

Franklin will easily run away with the district this year with young, starnes, and kegarise leading the way. Brentwood in my opinion is favored second because of their inside presence with teichmann and outside presence with hood. Centennial is right here solely because of Drew Kelly. With no supporting cast around him, i don't see them doing better than third in the district. Hillsboro and Overton are pretty much similar teams and will fight for fourth and fifth place in the district but you never know these teams. With the loss of Darrell Miller of Hillsboro, i don't see as much threat anymore out of this team. Ravenwood will think they can win this district but with your only player graduating last year they will only be pretenders in this district. Independence will struggle a lot this year with losing their best shooter and debated best player in consiglio. I don't see them doing any damage at all this year. And last but not least is the one and only Hillwood. I don't need to say anything about this team because it is understood. All in all, I can't wait for this season in 11-AAA basketball.

 

Also, i'm going to go ahead and predict my state finals. I think Franklin will make it to The Boro but i predict the finals as a clash between an East and West Tennessee teams in Bearden vs. White Station. Joe Jackson and Demonte Simpson should be a great match-up.

 

what makes franklin so good is their outside shooting.. they have so many outside shooters that its a rare occasion when none of them are hitting. Brentwood has a good inside game with kyle teichman who has over the summer worked more on his midrange to outside game and also good outside shooting with david hood. Centennial has drew kelly and that alone will win alot of games.. also looking for an outside presence of some kind to step up. Hillsboro lost most of their best players from last year but have some good underclassmen coming up. Overton will more than likely play their and1 basketball they played last year and should surprise a few teams. Ravenwood lost keith morris and should play solid ball throughout the year but i cant see them upsetting anyone. Independence has blake carden back and in my mind was their best player.. but i dont see anyone else on that team as a threat. and Hillwood will be consisently bad all year.

My predictions:

 

1. Franklin: Returning almost all of their key guys from last year. An experienced team that is dangerous everywhere on the court.

2. Centennial: Whether or not someone else steps up will determine if they will challenge Franklin

3. Brentwood: Alot of good talent returning. Very good defensive team

4. Hillsboro: Lost their two leading scorers, but still a good core of players returning

5. Independence: They could be a sleeper this year, depending on who steps up

6. Ravenwood: Should be a rebuilding year after losing their two best players.

7. Overton: Always seems to show promise, but can never carry momentum

8. Hillwood: Alot of work to do.

Very interesting comments so far!

 

Franklin definitely stays on top this season with everyone returning and Haddix improving quite a bit. I haven't seen Brentwood or Overton this summer, so I don't know if CHS will be No. 2, 3, or 4, but should be pretty tough with the Kelly/Williams duo. Mixer is not returning to CHS. Hillsboro is still pretty decent even after losing their best players, and looks to me like Indy is on top of Ravenwood.

 

Just my observations. . .

Who is this Williams kid your talking about? and why isnt Mixer returning to CHS?

and indy has some pretty solid guards coming up this year so i agree with them over ravenwood

Well I wouldn't consider williams to be that much of a threat offensively.. But he played solid defense.. and I'm dissapointed ben mixer is leaving.. He was a great kid and player

 

Very disappointed to see Ben leaving (this is the first I've heard of it). He was a hard-working kid and and overall great guy to be around. Wish him the best wherever he ends up.

 

As for Travis Williams, he's an upcoming senior who has shown some good promise over the past two seasons. He basically stepped into the role Lamont had two years ago. Solid defensively with constantly improving offensive skills. If everything goes well this could be a breakout year for him.

No offense to williams but I don't see anyone filling the role lamont had.. When he was on there was no one in the district that could guard him

ok so the rumor was true and kegarise is leaving franklin.. taking away one of.. if not the best shooter in the district from the franklin squad. just curious but now that kegarise is gone who is the most dangerous 3pt shooting threat now

 

I'd say Michael Young.

 

Interesting to see how this loss plays out. Franklin always held the "Reload rather than Rebuild" mantra, but that is a HUGE loss for the Rebels.

      Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war. Hope all stays healthy.

      I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!

      My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.

      Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
