top upcoming sophmores

[JunkMan00]

Devin Schmidt led Sevier County in scoring (15 I think) in the opening win at home against a very good Central squad, so there can be no doubt he is a talent to watch.

 

That said, the tone of that post tells me someone is still a bit tender after the recent Sevier County Jamboree this past Monday, where GP dominated their quarter of play against Sevier County, as well as taking the 3 point competition and the dunking contest. This is the same GP team that Davis Sohen is good enough to start for.

 

It is also unfortunate that we won't get to see Sohen and Schmidt play head to head (at least this year) because Sevier County refused to schedule GP this season.

 

Hmmmmm . . .

Well.... I cant blame them based on what I saw from GP High School. They are very talented but imagine them without the 2 outsiders ! No whining, get who you can when you can and how you can and run with it ! Our poor team got beat by PF but we do have some good players and think we will win some games this year. Just not sure who we have that can score ! Looks like PF has another "Army" on their bench but always remember, seniority rules there. A long year for them as well with AE, GP, Carter, and Fulton. OUCH !! How will GP be after this season with the twin towers graduating or do they have more on the way ? I think the Schmidt kid can play also, so be watching out for him. How in the world did this post of top sophmore players in Northeast TN get all the way into Sevier County ? Somebody needs to look at a map !

It was me that said:

 

"Don't know if Gatlinburg counts as NE TN, but I would keep an eye on Davis Soehn of GP."

 

Seemed straightforward enough, and not all that big a stretch to put Sevier County in the mix (can't say we seem to be SE TN, and never heard anyone ask about Mid-East TN lol)

 

I still think its remarkable at the constant school shuffle in so many other schools over the years, but GP picks up some transfers and all heck breaks loose. Knox County trades players like most kids trade baseball cards lol.

 

GPs prospects for the future, while certainly diminished with the loss of this current senior class, is not all that bad. Junior Matt Hinton is turning into a beast of a 5 player. Davis Sohen (So.) and Clay Leatherwood (Fr.) have both been highly ranked in their respective classes by the now infamous "unauthorized website." Brandon Stewart (Jr.) is making great progress as a PG as well.

 

Looking up and down District 3AA, it seems alot of programs will be losing some key seniors after this year.
