Top Teams in AAA

[CU06]

Who should make some noise this time of year as we approach 2 weeks from tournament play?

I would guess fairgut will expect to win some post season games.

Well of course, but who's gonna beat them in sub-state or state again this year?

They will certainly be in the conversation, but that is a brutal district. There are 8 quality teams in district 4, all fighting for 2 region spots. Farragut split with Catholic, HVA, and WB already this year, plus Karns beat them back in March. No guarantee that they'll even make it to the region tournament, although I wouldn't bet against them.

OSU, who else in district 3 besides Karns could make some noise?  Does Powell have enough to make a deep run like they did a couple years ago?

As long as they don't get tripped up in the district tourney, I think Powell could make a similar run. They've definitely got the pitching depth and defense to make a run. They played a couple of close games against Karns early in the season, so it'll be interesting to see the result if they meet in post-season play.

If they beat Halls tonight, Powell clinches the #2 seed in the district tourney. Overall, I think it could be pretty wide open once we get to district/region tourney play.

Science Hill has a really good team this year. I expect them to make some noise in the postseason.

Who has Science Hill beat that was good?  After looking at their schedule they have defeated the Upper East Tennessee teams but when they don't seem to do well outside their geographical area.  I understand that it would require some travel miles but until Science Hill begins to travel and play the best teams in Knoxville and Middle Tennessee they will never win a state championship.

Independence, Ravenwood & Brentwood.  SEC signees all thru the district

Farragut beat Bradley Central 2-1 in 10 innings on Monday.  Bears have a real good chance to be in Murfreesboro and make some noise.

1998 AAA State Champions. So, we have one, thanks. 

Never said we are primed to win a state title this year but we do have a good team. And I do believe we have the potential to make some noise in the postseason.

The 1998 State Championship while a great accomplishment is really not relevant 20 years later.  When you speak of "MAKING SOME NOISE IN THE POSTSEASON" my thoughts are you have the legitimate potential to play for a state championship.
