With the season around the corner - Who are some of the top teams in Class AA?

Here's my personal top 5 teams

1.) Westview - 2 consecutive TSSAA state appearances, this should be the year for Graves & Jones to make a deeper run to a title.

2.) East Nashville - 2016 State Champs - 2017 Final 4: Returning 3 out of 5 starters & the return of 2016 TSSAA MVP Kia Upton & East should make a run.

3.) South Side (Jackson) - Undefeated until the state tournament first round exit and key loses, S.S. is still a dangerous group lead by Quanarira Miller.

4.) Pearl-Cohn - 2017 runner-up, loss 3 starters, but still have an explosive 1-2 punch with Shaw and Chambers.

5.) Upperman - Lost a lot, returning two starters. Levy is still the best player in AA, could she repeat last years success with a young supporting cast that lack playing experience. If anyone can do it, she can.

 

Any other teams we should be on the lookout for this season?

Cumberland County and South Greene are going to be tough in AA.

South Greene has dominated Single A the past two season, but AA teams are a lot more faster and athletic than any Single A opponents. I'm not sure of the quality in their district and region. Lamb will have a smooth transition. Will South Greene's style of play translate to make a deep run in AA? 

Cumberland County has a well coached team and shooters all over the floor.  Going down a classification will help the make it to Murfreesboro. Not to many teams stand a chance playing Riverdale at Riverdale. I do believe that AAA experience will help C.C. get to the Murphy Center in March.

 

Should be any interesting season!

I'm excited for the season to start and a little anxious too. South Greene returns all but one and they play fast. I really don't see anyone out running or out hustling, but they have a couple injuries to get through. I haven't heard anything on one of the players, but the other should be back by the first of the year. They also gained some talented freshman but I'm not sure how it all plays in.  I'll know more by Thanksgiving. South Greene has always filled their schedule with AA and AAA schools, so they know what the competition is like. I think they will be competitive from the beginning of the season, but I won't be too concerned if they have some hiccups. Several girls are going to have to pick up new positions to fill the missing shoes while they're out.

I think South Green will be just fine. When your really aggressive you can beat anyone. In the East South Green, McMinn Central and Meigs will all be playing substate games IMO.

    • 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.
