How will this district end up? My predictions:

1,2 Overton/Hillsboro. Overton returns a lot of key players and have huge playmaker in Martin. Hillsboro made great strides in Clayton's first year and should only get better this year. Both coaching staffs are very solid.

3,4 Antioch/Cane Ridge Antioch has a new coach and they return most skill guys and have maybe the best line in metro. Cane ridge is coming off the best season in the schools short history. Can they improve or will they take a step back? I'm guessing a couple steps back. The honeymoon is over.

5,6,7 McGavock, Hillwood, Glencliff. Mcgavock always has talent but never puts it all together. Hillwood and Glencliff once again will be the bottom feeders. Enough said on those two.

Let's call it what it is. Buddy Brown is a "Metro Guy." He didnt like Clayton when he was at Franklin and he really doesnt like him now that he is at Hillsboro. If it had been a metro guy that won the

I think that Overton/Hillsboro/Cane Ridge will battle it out for the district title.. Overton has Martin and the other real good lineman and are always well coached. Cane Ridge has a lot of athleticism and are the defending champs. Return some good lineman and DB's. Hillsboro has a tremendous amount of talent in the Soph and JR class led by 2015 SEC recruit DE Kyle Phillips. I've heard rumors of transfers out of Antioch, not sure how true they are. That's why I leave Antioch out, because I think Woodward meant a ton to those kids. Should be an interesting year to say the least

Hillsboro, Overton/McGavock/Cane Ridge, Antioch, Glenclif, Hunters Lane, Hillwood

 

Honestly see Overton/McGavock/Cane Ridge as toss ups. All 3 of those schools played each other tight last year and Overton McGavock have been close the last 3 or 4 years so those are all 1 possession games.

 

Everything I've heard from the Hillsboro camp leads me to believe they should be top in the district. I haven't seen the DE but he has made some impressions on the guys that matter, their offense will be tough with Clayton there.

 

Cane Ridge is far and away the most talented school in metro 6a/5a but they have been pretty much since their inception so we will see. Will be interesting to see how their out of conference goes, that could determine their season. They need to fill the QB position but he missed a some last year so there is some experience. Their OC is a solid coach so I don't doubt he'll have it together and will use his athletes.

 

Overton was relatively young last year and you know what you are going to get from a Terry Anderson team. Tough kids, same scheme, tough team year in and out.

 

McGavock was young as well, they played pretty much all underclassmen at the skills besides QB last year. Heard there are some coaching changes over there but Gore is a good coach and Moreno is running the D which is a role he thrived in at HL.

 

I also heard Antioch lost some not only in graduation but also to transfers, not sure if those are just rumors or if there is truth. They do bring back their QB and RB but how many linemen did they lose? That was the strength of their team, losing your big guys when you are run 1st, 2nd, and 3rd is tough to overcome but year 2 in the option could hide some of that.

 

Glenclif is Glenclif, they will have some athletes but not enough to compete.

 

Hunters Lane meteoric drop is still baffling to me, do not see a turnaround in their future especially with the principal and I'm not a big fan of the HC hire over there. Hiring a losing coach who changes jobs quickly to turn around a losing program typically isn't a recipe for success.

 

Hillwood had some talent last year but it all graduated. If they ever had a chance to make some noise it was last year.

 

I know Metro doesn't have a high profile but the top 4 or 5 should make for some quality games, good players and coaches but like the rest of city schools across the country, lack of depth.

If we rank the head coaches, Anderson of Overton and Clayton of Hillsboro are head and shoulders above the rest. Spears of Hillwood and Gore of McGavock next level. Both are solid. Peden of Antioch comes from good stock and will have a good staff, especially if his Dad assists. Parks of Cane Ridge changed the losing ways year one, interesting to see how they do this year. Easley of Glencliff is still unproven. Murray has never had a winning season and is the third guy in 4 years to lead Hunters Lane, who went from first to worst in a hurry.

 

Talent level and depth of talent: Antioch, Cane Ridge first. Hillsboro, McGavock, Overton next. Hunters Lane next. Then Glencliff. Then Hillwood.

 

Anderson and Spears do the most with what they have. Clayton and Parks had impressive debuts last year. Peden had a lot to do with Antioch's recent success.

 

One old man's prediction: 1 Overton 2 Antioch 3 Hillsboro 4 McGavock 5 Cane Ridge 6 Hillwood 7 Hunters Lane 8 Glencliff

Current Hillwood coach announces retirement in July much like Bobby Johnson did as he retired from Vanderbilt. Creates a tough situation for the current Principal who has to make a quick hire. I suspect that the Principal will hire the first guy who can fill the opened teaching slot. Don't personally know the current Principal, but I have been told by several folks that he is a Basketball referee in his spare time and really could care less about the school's athletic success' or lack thereof. Good luck to the Hilltoppers ! Bring back Jerry Link....

He is a good principal and cares very much about the football program. The DC will be in charge until coach is announced . They will not find a better replacement than the current DC. Should do like Mount Juliet did and name him today. Edited by runtheball

You are very misinformed about the Hillwood Principal, SC is a perfect fit for the school and cares very much about all athletics at Hillwood. All aspects of the athletic plant and coaching staff has improved since SC entered the building at Hillwood. Great "athletic principal" that any coach would love to have on his or her side.

Good Luck to TB and the Hilltoppers!

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      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.
