District 8AA

Super young, have freshman coming off the bench, 2 seniors that start but don't have experience when it comes to pressure. This group didn't see much court time last year behind a group of 6 seniors. Most of the losses came in games that were in Christmas Tournament play. Losses were close and came at the end.

York is a very talented, well balanced team that can compete with about anyone.

Watertown starts 4 seniors. They're scrappy and tough to put away. They defend well and just keep coming at you. York swept them relatively easily. They played LA within single digits all 3 games, but lost each time. They split with UHS winning by 10 in Watertown. 

What happened with Cumberland Co during that 8 game losing stretch in the middle of the season? All of their game scores look close except for those 2 blowout losses to Stone, but they're overall record is obviously less than stellar.

Upperman will be significantly better this season than they were last year with a deeper bench. I have not really kept up with the rest of the district. I know LA, Watertown and YI lost quality players to graduation. LA still has Sells. Dekalb and Cannon should be improved.

Predictions for 2019-2020? 

1. Upperman is going to win it all. Return 4 of the starting 5 and added a big from a different country and his dad played at TTU

2. York lost some players, but return Smith and Meadows. Still a very big team. The freshman point guard last year should be much improved this season.

3. LA still has the best player in the district and a great coach that will find ways to get him the ball, but I know they lost a lot of starters.

4. Watertown lost a lot of players and starters, but they return their PG. Other than him I am not sure what else they have.

From there on out I am not real sure how the district will shake out because I do not know what the other teams are returning, but I do know Smith County with Sanders at the helm will be much improved and better coached and they had some kids come out and make the team that can play well. I could see them surprising some people this season. Not real sure how Sanders in Dekalb will do. He lost a lot of seniors after winning  a few games but when they played Smith last year his team did not seem to have the energy his teams at Smith had, but I hope he does well down there. Anyone got anything on Macon, Dekalb, or Cannon? Smith has a few good players, but they have not played in years and most are in football right now.

Awful quite on here for 1st games to be less than a month away.

A little early...........nobody knows exactly what to expect yet.  Some think they will be better, some hoping to be better, some  will be not as good. When practice starts the mouthing or poor mouthing will start.  I expect Baxter to be the top at he end though.

Just seems like in years past a lot more talk was going on earlier than the last couple of years. I agree with you.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • 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.
