Pre Season State Tourney Predictions

[toinemac]

Bolivar football hasnt given me much to get excited about this year so i guess i can talk about the upcoming hoops season. Now these are my opinions based on last year and what teams have coming back mainly. If you put your 2 cents in please use teams that can reach the tourney. 5 teams from one region cant make it. this is to make it to state not your top 8.

 

A

Manassas The odds on favorite bring back probably the best player in the state Reggie Buckner along with Shaq Walker and Joe Northington at the guards

 

Humboldt Size and athleticism are plentiful for the Vikings guard play will be the key

 

Culleoka Like Humboldt Culleoka has a big athletic frontcourt backcourt issues will be Warriors problem in the first year AD

Collinwood

 

Temple Jeremy Sexton is the best player in the state no one has ever heard of

 

Gordonsville

 

University School

 

Greenback

 

AA

 

Fulton Lost a lot from a championship team but bring back Gallman and Steele

 

Austin East

 

Station Camp John Jenkins enough said

 

Livingston Academy

 

Christ Presbyterian

 

Bolivar Probably one of the best backcourts in the state in Tisdale Murphy and Reaves frontcourt production will be key for the Tigers to make a return trip

 

Mitchell Been in every one of the last three championship games and every year i say they wont get there they get there Wade one of the top 5 players in the class of 2010

 

Booker T. Washington The exact opposite of Mitchell picked to win it the last couple years didnt get there either one

Larry McGaughy and Bridges give them a new nucleus that is talented enough to dare i say it win state

 

 

AAA

 

Dobyns Bennett

 

Bearden

 

Oakland

 

Cookeville

 

Beech

 

Franklin

 

Melrose Sophomore Phenom Adonis Thomas leads a talent filled roster from the Mound tough to know if they have enough winning experience to beat out Ridgeway and Raleigh Egypt

 

White Station Joe Jackson and Farrakohn Hall hope to lead last year's runner ups back to the title game

Just curious to hear your input, but have you seen or heard anything about Oakland or Cookeville that would make you believe they will be in the state tourney. On paper, Siegel is the best team in 7-AAA

[scrubadubdub]

Your predictions for AA look pretty solid.

[RunAndGun]

I agree except for A. Grace will return to state again this year. They have 85% of its scoring returning including thier top two players Pridemore 19ppg (ALL-State 2008) Slusher 15ppg (6' 5 All-Region) and thier 6' 5 Center 10ppg (MVP of Region Tourn) They have a much harder schedule this year that should prepare them for a better showing at state this year after a disappointing one last year shooting only 35% for the game.

[RunAndGun]

I believe east tn will have a good showing this year at state. Just my opinion, anything can happen when you get there.

I agree, either Bearden or DB could make a run at the state this yr. I like siegel to get deep as well along with White Station.

I'm going with Manassas and Lake Co in Single A!

East TN will bring home the gold in AA but that's it. Knox Fulton will come home with it. As for the rest, Manassas or Humboldt will bring the Class A gold home to the West. White Station or one of the other Memphis teams will bring home the AAA gold. Briarcrest Christian will bring home the D.IIAA gold ball. I'll say Memphis dominates Murfreesboro this year! Don't be surprised to see a Mitchell or Booker T. Washington to make another push to a state championship in AA. The teams in Memphis are so loaded this year!
