[allaroundsports]

Predictions...    District 11A                                    District 12A

                         Columbia Academy                       Loretto

                         Mt. Pleasant                                  Wayne Co

                         Richland                                        Frank Hughes

                         Santa Fe                                       Summertown

                         Cornersville                                   Collinwood                 

                         Hampshire                                     Perry Co

 

MP's best player is out for the year with torn ACL, believe his last name is Smith, but MP returns 3 solid starters and they are very athletic..   CA returns Cary twins and multi purpose athlete, Thompson.. Richland will be better since they were young last year.. Santa Fe has big guy Winchester back.. Cville loses top three scorers and Hampshire also loses "the big three" that accounted for 98 percent of the scoring..  Loretto returns just about everybody, but with some injuries to football players, they should be strong come Dec or Jan..  Wayne Co also returns 3 starters ..  Frank Hughes  returns 4 starters, plus got two transfers from Miami..  Summertown will be about the same as last year but with no post player, it will hurt them..Collinwood loses entire starting lineup. PC loses 7/8 seniors from last year ..

allaroundsports I would say you pretty much nailed it.  I look for CA and Mt. Pleasant to return as the top two teams, and yes the loss of Ken Yores Smith will hurt but they have some good athletes.  CA does lose a very big body with the big guy which might change some things up some.

 

I also look for Loretto and stown/wboro to be towards the top of the pack.  Loretto will have one player with an injury but it has not slowed him down in football.  So far so good.  I had not heard about the transfers to Frank Hughes that might be interesting.

Summertown lost 1 player from last year and gained a junior that will add speed and athleticism to the team. Under new coach Wes Long, he has instilled a hard work ethic that Summertown has been know for in the past and a new basketball philosophy should have them getting better throughout the season and hopefully throughout the tournament.

Collinwood should be as good as ever this year Littlejohn, Ray, and Putnam all return

Where did the big kid from CA end up going?

[allaroundsports]

I think he went to Freed Hardeman ..

I expect Summertown to challenge Loretto for District 12. This team has played together as the core of the team for the past 2 seasons without a solid leader as coach. I think under the leadership of Wes Long you will see the Eagles really gel. Look for Timmy Beard to have a breakout season for SHS and for this team to get better and better as the season progress. I dont think sub-state would be out of the question for this team to achieve.

I heard the 2 kids from Miami that are new at Frank Hughes are pretty good. Anyone know if that's true or just rumor?

[Vandychris]

I work in Clifton and have not heard a word. They had one of the best in the district the past 2 years in Lineberry and it didnt help them much

[allaroundsports]

Got word from a Wayne co source the two transfers from Miami are very good and will help the team tremendously plus they have four starters back.. The Prater and Brashier kid are much improved.. They also got a new coach with experience .. It will be interesting to see how they pan out this year..
