Well for me Upperman is at the top until someone beats them. They have the best player in the district and one of the best in the state. I expect LA to be tough but don't know enough about what the rest lost to say how the district will play out. Have to wait for play date to get an idea.

1. Upperman

2. Livingston Academy

3. Smith County

4. Central Magnet

5. Macon County

6. York Institute

7. Cannon County

8. Dekalb County

 

 

I literally have no clue about CM. I think UHS is clearly the best team in the district, but will be surprised if they get through the district without an upset loss. I would not be surprised to see LA knock them off in the tourney at least once. LA has some kids that can definitely play and can score, but will have to see how they replace Lamb. I think UHS has a harder time replacing Medley, Eldridge and Farris than they think they will have. Smith County returns the majority and I suspect they may beat LA at least once, but not sure they have the horses to run with UHS. Not sure about CM. Macon will be in the running for 4th if Magnet doesn't have a solid group. Macon will be younnnggggg though, playing mostly freshman I suppose. York institute has two of the better players in this district, but it's a mess up there and I could see them finishing bottom of the district before it is all said and done (even with a couple of the better players in the district). I know nothing about Cannon county, so they could be better than I have them picked. Dekalb has the potential to move up the list, but it will depend on how they adapt to their third coach in the last six months. They are mostly young as well, so I can see them getting better as the year goes on if they adapt well to the new coach. Good luck to all the 8AA teams this year.

I believe you have picked the way I would have except CM. I believe they lost all there starters from last years team. York is a mess. Macon has 3 seniors and a load of talented freshman was what I was told. I saw a couple of Cannon girls play this summer and they will be middle of the pack. DeKalb .... Don't even know the coach I know Coach Agee has done a good job at the middle school . I figure middle of pack or lower... Smith has 5 seniors and all started but 1. Could end up second but hogeye is a thorn.  Livingston always slow at the start and gains the big mo during tournament time... Uhs . I can say Dana has done a good, no great job with her aau girls..... Levy is one of if not the best I have seen in a long time. Looking forward to a fun season. Hope everyone has a great time and injury free.

Jimbo, best players usually equal best records.

 

Player development is the reason for successful programs. It's too early to make solid predictions on a season. A very good indicator will happen Jan 3. Two miss basketball finalists, Jacobi Lynn vs  Akira Levi, meet in Baxter. Two successful coaches, Johnny Morgan and Dana McWilliams will be there too.  :popcorneater:  The second stanza is Jan 21 in Englewood. :popcorneater:  :popcorneater:

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
