32hammer Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Ready for Spring practice. 5A was tough for me to do because of all the classification movement. Here is my best shot right now 1. Catholic 2. Rhea County 3. Fulton 4. Hillsboro 5. Central 6. Beech 7. Oak Ridge 8. Halls 9. South Doyle 10. Page Thoughts?

Here is my best shot right now 1. Catholic 2. Rhea County 3. Fulton 4. Hillsboro 5. Central 6. Beech 7. Oak Ridge 8. Halls 9. South Doyle 10. Page Thoughts? I'd have to Put Henry Co in over Page.. I think Hillsboro may be too high with an entirely new coaching staff but they will be talented. Ridgeway is back in 5A too I believe so they should be in the top 10.. Shelbyville & Gallatin could sneak in there as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravey Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Ready for Spring practice. 5A was tough for me to do because of all the classification movement. Here is my best shot right now 1. Catholic 2. Rhea County 3. Fulton 4. Hillsboro 5. Central 6. Beech 7. Oak Ridge 8. Halls 9. South Doyle 10. Page Thoughts? As far as ET teams Rhea Co always tough .. system is tough to defend .. Catholic, Fulton and Central have question to be answered .. I think Oak Ridge would be above Central ( Central lost alot of talent 2 good linemen, QB, Tough RB, 2 WR's ) .. they still have some talent but those 6 players carried them alot, Fulton looses 2 great players in Mobley and Dobson and most important all their linemen .. so depends on whether there are any OL/ DL walking the halls in the school who didnt play football and what can they get out of them .. right now not very many options maybe a couple .. and Knox Cath .. there were some kids that were on work program for tuition .. how do they keep them there .. not SUPPOSED to be any kind of aid supplied and there were a few that they had to have assistance to attend and thye are some of their best players .. plus to boot they loose Rogers, Keurchen, Wood and the QB a few others .. they have alot of big OL and DL returning so would look for them to try to pound the rock or they should.

KnoxVil Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Halls and OR do not belong in this all too early preseason poll. Not sure Fulton is in this either. Not yet anyways. How someone leaves Henry County out of a 5A poll makes zero sense. To each his own tho. Edited February 18, 2017 by KnoxVil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCBigRed Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Yeah I am really suprised that henry county is left out. Returning a ton on offense and defense with a lot of experience this year. I guess we will take that role this year. Doesn't matter if we aren't in the top 10 at the beginning. We will see at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How someone leaves Henry County out of a 5A poll makes zero sense. To each his own tho. Just a starting point for discussion. With all of the classification changes it will be tough to predict. Thinking about it, you guys are probably right and Henry Co should be on there. Always good to get other opinions, especially from the other parts of the state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsAlwaysSunnyInAtwood Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Henry Co will definitely be in the mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhea Co. Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Ready for Spring practice. 5A was tough for me to do because of all the classification movement. Here is my best shot right now 1. Catholic 2. Rhea County 3. Fulton 4. Hillsboro 5. Central 6. Beech 7. Oak Ridge 8. Halls 9. South Doyle 10. Page Thoughts? I would rank them like this 1. Knox Catholic 2. Hillsboro 3. Rhea Co. 4. Henry Co. 5. Fulton 6. Beech 7. Oak Ridge 8. Shelbyville 9. Gallatin 10. Ridgeway Honorable mention Knox Central, Walker Valley, Page, South Doyle, and Knox Halls I think there is a lot of question marks for a lot of teams at this point.

You would expect me to mention Tee Higgins is gone and that does hurt A LOT but finding OL/DL and LBs are probably of more concern. The kicking game will be solid. However if people want to sleep on Oak Ridge that is fine by me since polls are just sticks stuck in the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Mr. Corso, but OR has had the talent the last 2 years and should have been playing in Cookeville. Instead, the staff found a way to screw that up. I expect nothing less this year.
