Ok I can't say I have seen all these teams play all year . First thing record means absolutely nothing in basketball . Anybody can play a cupcake schedule for a good record . It's a tournament sport so if you can't make it to state you aren't good enough to be in the conversation, period . If you include Hamilton heights in this discussion I believe you have 4 teams very close . Brentwood academy has garland who is unguardable and can set all his shooters up . I believe Heights and east length would still be too much for them . I believe Heights and east would go down to a game 7 I think east would beat them now . Oak ridge and BA would be another great 7 game series probably going seven given the edge to BA . After those 4 to me it's a big drop off . I can't put southwind in the conversation based on what I saw in the state tournament. Freeman is great nice to finally see him . Any of those 4 above teams win easy 4-1 in a seven game series . Independence improved Brentwood plays a different style but lets be real they go down and play Cordova whitehaven and some of those other teams they probably getting beat . There are no single A teams none that could be considered in the top 25 not even close it's just a different beast . AA I don't think any could challenge the top 10 except 1 Whites Creek . When they decide to Play they can play and give you fits . Their problem is they think are better than they are and can just show up . In case state tournament. Both those games were awful games they played . Anybody watching them probably asking how this team ever made it here . All that said here is my top 5

 

East 96.7

Heights 96.0

Brentwood Academy 94.8

Oak ridge 94.5

Southwind 89.6

I can't put East over Hamilton Heights for the fact that Heights beat them by 8. East def. can beat HH but I don't see them as the clear cut favorite.

 

If we aren't talking about classification teams then Heights has the advantage for obvious reasons.

For what it's worth unapproved website ranks the top 10 as:

 

1. East

2. BA

3. HH

4. Oak Ridge

5. McCallie

6. Southwind

7. Ensworth

8. Blackman

9. Christian Brothers

10. Summit

 

Seems like there is a consensus on the top 4 in the state. After that, probably a lot of room for debate.

#1- Memphis East

#2- Oak Ridge

#3- Southwind

#4-Independence

#5-Brentwood Academy

 

That's how I saw it, Opinions may Vary

So you put BA, who beat Indy by 30, at #5? I will not try and argue my point because it seems that you are bias toward public schools. I just wanted you to be aware of the 30 piece BA handed to Indy and then you might want to readjust the order.

Here is what I think the top TSSAA teams in the state are (not including Hamilton Heights)...

Top 2 definately go to East and BA ( Both top 15 in the country) then Oak Ridge and Southwind hold the 3th and 4th spot and like it was said earlier after that there is a big drop off I feel like a lot of different good teams could go there.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
