Dresden 2018

[ysoangry]

Sorry if someone started a topic already but I searched and couldn't find one. What about the Lions? We going to be any good or what? Figure Lake County is the team to beat this year in our region. I haven't heard a ton except it doesn't look great for another Gold ball, or silver.

Dresden won’t be bad, but the west has several teams that should be better. Lake County, Huntingdon, and Wayne County, and Cornersville all appear to have better chances of advancing the deepest from the west.

Were all chasing Lake Co in region 7. They will be a top 2-3 team in 1-A this year. Who all do you have back besides Yates? Replacing Nanney will be a task

Yates, T Jones will be the playmakers. Haven't heard if Yates or Crawford will be QB. Think they are moving my nephew to OLB but he is no Nanney. I'm so far out of the loop now I'm not really sure who we have. Nephew is spending this week with me in Florida so I'll quiz him.

I’m not sure if they will be one of the three best teams, but I’d say at least top 5-6 overall  In the east Greenback will be better than they were last season. SP and Whitwell will also be quality teams.

You'd be hard pressed to find 5 teams better than LC. 19-20 starters returning from a semifinals team is tough to catch for#2.

I know they will be a good team. I just think they are a top 5-6 team. The three best teams in the east along with Cornersville, Wayne, and Huntingdon all have a lot of good players returning.

I agree Lake County got beat by Cornersville in the semis and Cornersville would have been a 4th Place team on the east side last year at best.Coalfield and South Pitt were both better than they were as far as my opinion goes. Lake County will be a quality opponent this year no doubt but I don't know if they're a top-three. I think Greenback should you be your preseason number 1 with South Pitt at number 2,and Whitwell/Wayne county/Hunt at the 3, then so on and so forth.JMO.

You are correct on all counts. They will be a very good team this year. I would put them in top 3 to start year

A lot of athletic ability in Tiptonvile, but I’m not sure they have the line to be a top 3 team this season. I’m thinking they have one of the 3 best teams in the west, but can’t quite put them ahead of a few in the east quite yet. That’s where my top 5-6 comment comes from. One thing about it.. if you’re that close to the top then you usually have a chance. We’ve been like them many times in the past with an adequate line, but great skill position players. Greenback should be head and shoulders the best team in 1A with what they have returning and the amount of space between them and the rest of 1A last season.

I'll put them in at 3 based on what they return. They was the most athletic team we faced last year and the second best overall team we played. Number 42 ( I believe he was a senior )for them was the best player we saw all season. Now before everyone gets their panties in a wad.....he may have just played lights out against us but I will tell you that on that night he was the best player I saw all year. I will pick them to take the west this year.

I'm 100% in on defending Champs being #1 preseason. Even if the whole team graduated. Guess it is a respect for the champs thing.
