Preseason 9AA Predictions

[Cleggy]

Preseason basketball practice will be kicking off shortly (unless your CPA) so it's time to roll out my picks. Here they are:

 

1. Sycamore

2. White House

3. Goodpasture

4. Macon County

5. Westmoreland

6. Greenbrier

 

 

Top players will include:

 

McPherson, Dick, White, Sizemore, Young, Mcilhaney (sp.?), Oskin

 

 

What's your thoughts gym rats?

Oh God, I HOPE my Bobcats aren't last this year!! BUT, it will be a rebuilding year--especially now since Brown went down with a season-ending knee injury--so who knows?

 

I would put WH a rung lower (didn't they lose a lot of seniors?), but everything else is pretty similar on my list. I like Lynn and Hunter at Goodpasture, Smith at Sycamore, McPherson (of COURSE) at Macon, and Young at Greenbrier. I didn't see anyone else in the off-season so my list isn't complete.

Oh, and good jab on the lions

Thanks! Can't believe that I left off Lynn or Hunter. They are both fine players that are regulars on the summer AAU circuit. Brown's injury had alot to do with where I placed them. He and Young were going to be a formidable backcourt duo. I have heard that Greenbrier has a big kid that has great potential, so they may be alright after all is said and done. The Devils do have a little revenge to dole out to the Bobcats after their early exit from the tournament last year. I think the new coach at White House is going to make a big difference for them and how their season will turn out.

Do not turn your back on those Macon County Tigers. I think they will shock a lot of people. Macon Co. has really good coaching and they have more talent then people think.

Yeah, the big kid is pretty impressive to just be a freshman. He's been picked up for the coming year by AAU Tennessee Tigers or the Travelers (can't remember--whichever one Corey Stanton was on). That gives us the inside game we've needed, but now our transition/outside game is lacking b/c of the injury.

 

I also agree with the captain: Macon will surprise some people too this year. All this to say: gonna be an interesting year for 9AA, and I'm SO ready for it!!

 

Do you have a fairly complete list of the Sycamore starters Pitchy?

No I don't but I know that a couple of them played on the same AAU team this summer (Clarksville Stars?) The District will have alot of parity this year as no one team stands out quite like Macon Co. did last year. It will be very interesting and competitive. Can't wait.

A season preview came out in the Gallatin News-Examiner today. Mostly was about Westmoreland. Don't know if more will follow. Author leaning towards Macon Co. and Goodpasture to win. I'll be okay if anyone but them wins. hahaha. Go Devils!
