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?

    • Sorry Barn. I wasn’t specific enough. It seems I’m always protecting the principal at 825. My interactions with her have been extremely positive, but very limited. With all the other stories being told, I’m confident there are other sides I am not aware of. Regardless, there are lots of decent people earning good checks up there. Maybe too good, which explains why no one is willing to speak up. My beef is with the poor communication among the athletic programs and with the administration. Seven years ago the poor communication led to my son missing graduation due to a sporting event that was planned months before. I chalked it up to the system being totally shocked that the baseball team made it out of their district, and our then AD was a football coach. Maybe they were surprised and did not plan appropriately. That was more palatable than they just didn’t give a crap. Déjà vu, seven years later, same thing. Different administration, but same result.  Maybe in seven more years, it will actually be “about the kids”. They should do better.
