QSouth89 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Tired of talking football. I know it's early but I can always talk hoops. What are the preseason predictions for the year? My predictions are based on returning players/starters 1. Catholic: returns 4 starters from last year and they get back Jordan Anderson who only played in 3 games last year. Very young team. 7 sophomores and a freshman are on the varsity. 2. Alcoa: will be talented. Brandon Teeter will be one of the best players in 4AA. Athletic group that can run. 3. CAK: losing Lee hurts but Wells is an excellent coach and will have the Warriors competing I can see CAK finishing higher. 4. Scott County: Butts can flat out score, not much depth. 5. Kingston: Narramore gets the most out of kids. They play hard and compete. Edited July 23, 2014 by QSouth89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key players on the bench were also seniors! Need to check your info on this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key players on the bench were also seniors! Need to check your info on this one!I saw them this summer at camp and I was impressed with what they had. So my facts are based on having actually seen them play and this is my opinion, If Catholic can get over the injury bug that plagued them last year then they could win the district. Catholic lost one game all summer (lost to Sevier Co with half the team missing) Playing all those young guys last year may pay off this year.

uptempo Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Q,......summer ball is summer ball.....agree with you about Catholic....lot of youngsters with serious minutes last year and they should be in the mix but the 4-aa district should be a tight race....look at 3-aa last year....district play was brutal like the sec.....summer ball is an opportunity to get better but too early to crown anyone yet.....remember it's 17 & 18 year olds making decisions!!!

Tenntwin Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 CCHS (Cumberland County) beat Catholic this summer at Karns, but I think Catholic was without some it's better players. But it is summer ball, I know Cumberland County was rotating 3 sets of 5 every 5-8 minutes no matter the game situation. Catholic does have lots of good young talent!

In Catholic's case guys were doing football too. 8 of Catholic's varsity players play football. School that small gotta share athletes. Once the season starts we will have a better grasp on who can do what. After all you still have to go out and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptempo Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Since Q-man has done a pretty thorough job of listing 4-aa teams what will their region competition be like over at 3-aa...can you give a breakdown of that district and its teams?

I know very little about that district. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Carter wins 3-AA. Jordan Bowdon returns for Carter and Kelvin Jackson transferred from Fulton to Strawberry Plains. Not sure how many other players return for the Hornets. I'm going to guess: 1. Carter 2. Fulton 3. A-E 4. G-Pittman 5. Union County 6. Pigeon Forge Edited July 26, 2014 by QSouth89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
