Tennessee Girls AP Top 10 (Week of Jan. 16th)

[PHargis]

Clarksville, as every year, in in a large AAA District which means playing quite a few schools who are not close to being in the top tier in the State. That is the reason they are not rated even higher than they are. They certainly have recovered from the slow start at the very first of the year. If anything slows their progress, and it may be ample enough, they haven't exhibited the speed and quickness other top ranked schools have shown. The rest is there. Any one of the top 5-6 schools on any given matchup is capable of playing the others close. As usual, Tennessee is the only sleeper but to win back to back games at State against this competition is questionable. Clarksville will have to get out of their region to show their stuff.

Another thing folks forget is the fact just how tough the 'local' teams are in Rutherford County. Prime example is the fact that three teams in the top 10 of the AP poll are in Murfreesboro alone.

 

Girls Basketball is as tough in Rutherford County as football is. I am just waiting when Boys Basketball FINALLY makes it also!
