Doesn't look like anyone is ready to talk about it. Let it rest.

I would guess that in 5A on this side of the state it is pretty much always going to be Oak Ridge, Fulton, Catholic and Knox Central.

Catholic no longer allowed to play in 5A. They are now in the division two arena.

Oh yeah, that is a great point.     So it's going to always be OR, KC or Fulton.

Aside from that, lots of holes to fill on both sides of the ball but heard that the rising JR class is loaded and the rising Sr class has several key players returning. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say the entire offensive strategy will change with Gibbons at the helm. The defensive side will remain comparable to last year though I’d expect to see more corner blitzes. They have a few sophomores with great speed that just didn’t see a lot of playing time this season.

Kendall Jackson and Jaquez Johnson will be a few of the studs next few years. There are always a few who surprise us also. Also Blazer, don't forget Powell. They will be in that mix of teams too.

    • Understand the young thing.  I was one of those.  Barely 17 when I graduated from high school and started college.  But redshirting for athletic purposes isn't doing them any favors, in my opinion.  Life isn't always going to be fair.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?
