Who are the top AAA teams in each part of the state?

I would like to get some opinions on each classification over the next few days. We can start with AAA today. Last year had Farragut winning another championship in a great game with Columbia so most would probably say they will be back there again. I would have said the same thing until Taylor's injury. Now, I think AAA may be as wide open as it has in a long time. I have a fefeling that this may finally be Mt. Juliet's year for some reason. That is a great program that has a coach that works hard so I feel like they deserve a title. Columbia has two great arms returning but lost 7 position players from last year added with the emergence of the Sheffield brothers in Tullahoma and Columbia may not be the best team in their District this year. Arlington, Collierville and Bartlett out West will all be good as well.Scince Hill is probably the best competition for Farragut in upper East Tennessee. Ooltewah is probably the best team in the Chattanooga area with a lot of people coming back. What does everyone else think?

Too soon to tell in Jan. what will happen in May. Farragut is always tough, with the program having so much success they know how to win. Tullahoma has the Sheffield brothers, and begs the question are they enough? Columbia will be good as well Ooltewah. MJ has roster full of very impressive pitching, 6 sr's with 3 jr's and a soph. From what I here Collierville has a very good team as well, they hit very well. I do not know about Arlington or Bartlett.

Until someone dethrones Farragut, they will be the team to beat. In 1AAA, Science Hill lost its security blanket, Daniel Norris, but have a bunch of good arms returning--Craig, Sweeney, Lloyd, Campbell, Pope, and Blanton. Each would be a 1 or 2 on most other teams. Craig will probably be the go-to guy. SH lost some bats to graduation. This will be a good year to be a freshman or sophmore at SH because of the opportunities. Pitching will be good; offense and defense are the question marks for Science Hill.

 

Hard to say about the rest of 1AAA. Dobyns-Bennett has some good bats, but questionable pitching. Boone was gutted by graduation. Volunteer, Central, South, Tennessee High, and Crockett will struggle with their pitching.

    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
