Record Pts Prv

1. Ridgeway (15) 20-0 192 3

2. White Station (2) 18-3 157 4

3. Memphis Central (1) 19-3 126 6

T4. Melrose 21-3 125 1

T4. Bearden (2) 21-1 125 2

T6. Nashville Overton 23-2 76 7

T6. Southwind 20-3 76 5

8. Clarksville NE 18-2 69 8

9. Dyer County 21-3 30 9

10. Beech 22-3 25

 

 

The top 5 teams in the State of Tennessee are in Memphis this year (all classifications). Why is it every year there is a Bearden or Dyer County in there?? Is this charity or is it just the voters don't know about the top teams in the West??

 

The State Tourney will mainly be played in the Region tournaments---another let down, but a fun practice at state is in session again this year for the Memphis teams, it looks like.

I agree that Memphis teams will rule the Class AAA this year. Is there open enrollment into high schools in Memphis? If so, this allows for some pretty stacked teams - East TN doesn't allow the same. There is obviously a lot of talent in Memphis, but allowing kids to pick their schools seems to be quite an advantage. Hasn't Knoxville Fulton (AA) won the State Title last couple of years? They are number 1 in the state currently and should be the favorite to win AA again.

No secret that the ap poll is a schill. I like to follow the computer ratings as a bit more true of a indicator. While Memphis is certainly a monster year in and year out, once you get to the state tournament, ANYTHING can happen.

I believe Central and White Station may be Open Enrollment, but is very difficult to get in, but neither team has benefited from transfers. That would be Melrose, who had two big transfers. Other then that these are just area players who are ballers. I personally think Southwind is better than both schools, but I guess you put emphasis on the Ls even though their losses were to the number 1 and 2 teams in the state by 1,1,and 6(Without their Freshman Phenom J3). I would put my money on Memphis. Ridgeway is one of those teams that just doesn't have alot of flaws. White Station has Joe Jackson, enough said. Melrose is the most talented and deepest team in the city. Central has two big posts, and a solid backcourt with the perfect mixture of talent, youth, and maturity. Southwind has a loaded backcourt and is very dangerous with a healthy J3.

I believe that either Ridgeway or WS will win the triple a crown this year but any of the other Memphis teams in the poll could get in the mix. I know Ridgeway buried WS last time they played but Joe Jackson is the kind of player thet can will his team to a win! No chance for any of these middle or east tn teams over the Memphis teams....sorry guys just tellin' it the way it is! :hungry:

No matter how small it is, there is always a chance, especially in a winner-take-all, single elimination format.

Anything can happen in one game, but its pretty clear that any team outside of Memphis will most likely have to face two Memphis teams. Which means one of these non-Memphis teams is going to have to have the stars align twice in a short period. Unlikely, but anything can happen. Who's the prime contender? Clarksville NE? Bearden? Overton?

Memphis has five of the top six spots, what else do you want. Everyone knows how good Memphis bball is, but seriously there are quality teams all across the state and if you are having a great season then you should get some recognition in the polls. Support Memphis, thats great, but it gets old year after year hearing the Memphis people down the rest of the state. If I remember right, Clarkesville NE gave White Station all they wanted last year, didn't win, but definitely had a chance. You people make it sound like Memphis teams win all their state tourny games by 20+ every year. Their is unbelievable talent in Memphis and some great teams, but a little humility would be really refreshing.

    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.
