I am sure East & Bearden will be among them. Who else and why? Hard to say because you never know about high school kids. Teams may have a kid grow 4 inches in a year... lol however, the teams that traditionally win will always be good. Southside, Humboldt, East, Melrose, Haywood, and Melrose from West TN.

dmm88 Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I think in single A this year everybody in the West TN area will be chasing Trenton Peabody and Humboldt. Middleton and UC will be down. in AA I think South Side and South Gibson are the teams to beat. Crockett County should be in the mix too. Haywood may emerge but that's a huge question mark. Ripley and Covington should be solid still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmm88 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Mitchell and Melrose should be the District 16-AA and Region 8 championship game. Unless Wooddale just has some amazing transfers coming. One of those two and South Side should be at state.

A loaded freshman class won the district in 2018 lead by two very quick freshman guards and a 6'6 freshman post player. They add a incoming 6'5 post player this season. I could see this front line being around 6'7 to 6'8 in next new couple years with multiple guards raining threes and running the court well. The 2018-19 will be about 8-9 kids deep seeing the floor.

Most of the time you can take at least an inch off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now the strength of the team is the guard play, but you can't ignore young size like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTRok Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 They have a 6'5" sophomore. No 6'5" freshman that I've seen. A 6' 1" freshman coming from Upperman middle. They do have a couple of very talented guards. I look for them to be good this season as well a few more down the road. Everyone including me over looked them last season. I do not think that will be the case this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
