Anyone mentioning Science Hill & Tullahoma is not informed statewide.

 

The conversation should start in District 3 AAA w/ Farragut & Hardin Valley. They are both loaded. It should continue to the mid state with Siege, Ravenwoodl & Riverdale & go west with Houston & Arlington. In upper East Tennessee there is DB & nobody else even close. DB is not a state contender even though they will have a gaudy record & be highly ranked in the state.

 

In AAA there are only 3 state contenders in ET: Hardin Valley, Farragut &..... Wait for it.... Wait for it..... SEVIER COUNTY. They should be very good this year.

 

Middle Tn only has 3, as well: Riverdale, Ravenwood & Siegel.

 

West Tn only 2: Houston & Arlington.

 

 

Top 10 in order (I don't care about records. This is who will win the state Championship)

1. Farragut

2. Hardin Valley

3. Siegel

4. Houston

5 Sevier Co.

6. Riverdale

7. Ravenwood

 

Really, these are the only teams that realistically have a chance.

 

Super talented year for Tennessee. Very very good players all over the state.

 

Prediction: Farragut or Hardin Valley will win the state championship in AAA

Hardin Valley choked last year and didn't make it out of the district.  I think they are on a mission. Sevier Co will have a good team, but not sure how deep in pitching. Farragut is Farragut and will be there in the end. I think the State Champ will come from East Tennessee.

 

AA- again I think the State Champ comes from East Tennessee. CAK , Catholic could both be back. Not many loses on either team.

 

I don't know much about A

I'm not sure Hardin Valley's mission can overcome Farragut's talent being better. I think that may come down to Farragut's bats are just better than Hardin Valley's bats from top to bottom. One thing is for sure, Patrick Raby v Will Neely will be a great pitching duel to watch & I think Farragut will have a better chance of getting to Neely than HVA has of getting to Raby. However, HVA will put small ball pressure on Farragut and hope they make errors. Someone told me HVA beat Farragut last 4-3 or something like that and didn't hit a ball out of the infield.

 

Either way, those games will be worth watching for HS baseball fans. Tons of D1 talent all over the field for both teams.

I have watched Oakland play 2 scrimmages so far and for a team that graduated 13 seniors, they look really good. They have won both scrimmages. Putting up 20 runs against Wilson Central and 3 runs in 3 innings against Aj Franklin and then through 7 inning agaisnt Hendersonville they were up 9-4. This team might be young but you better watch out.

how is Karns? Or has Hardin and Farrigut picked the talent there dry?

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
