District 8AA 2015-2016

[UpperCumberlandMan]

Macon should be very good.

what the size of the front line for MC?

[captnoname]

DeKalb Co plays Grundy on Friday

CM- plays Middle Tennessee Heat- Tuesday

York- opens with Harriman on Thursday

LA- opens Saturday with Oakdale

CC- not sure

MC- Gordonsville on Tuesday

SC- Aaron Academy on Tuesday

Upperman- Cumberland Co on Saturday

[wbryguy]

Cannon opens with Van Buren Co, who I'm assuming is still pretty good considering their year last year.

I would expect VB to be pretty good this year. I think they only had one senior last year. There scrappy and shoot it well from 3 point range.

I understand that I am a little late to the party, but I decided to throw in my two cents before the season starts tomorrow. Based on the past few years, here are my predictions for the district. Feel free to pick apart and question whatever you like.

 

1. Upperman- the way they shoot + the big kid from Clay County. Should be a good year.

 

2. Macon County- This is my ballsy pick. The are returning a lot and had solid athletic guard play this yar. Could have trouble stopping the big posts though.

 

3. York- Would put them higher because of Blevens, but their guards are just no good. They lost to Central Magnet last year. That tells me that this team isn't focused enough to be great.

 

4. Livingston- They will be a force on the perimeter, but losing Eldrige down low will be a blow. One thing I've leaned- never count out Livingston.

 

5. Smith- This team is young and good. They are one year away from exploding into a championship contender.

 

6. Cannon- They will be down this year after graduating the scoring prowess from last year. They will always give teams trouble with their multiple devensive looks though.

 

7. Central Magnet- Call me crazy! But Central has gained some good, young guard play and has looked descent in the summer and pre-season. The could split with Cannon and/or Dekalb this year.

 

8. Dekalb- If there is any hope for this team, please let me know.

ThatRadioGuy, I don't mean to downplay Central but what have they done to not deserve 8th place? Just saying...finished last every year and we have no reason to expect otherwise this year. 

Don't get me wrong...I like a good upset as the next guy but do you really think Central could move out of the cellar this year?

I think white county with their ability to shoot the ball and the experience they return will be too much for the Owls. Cannon will have their hands full with Van Buren.
