Still very early but after some early season non conference tune up games who is looking like contenders and or pretenders? Is Hampton and Hancock for real? I'm going to say in District 1A- Between Cloudland, UH, Ng and Hampton its  going to be a Dog fight, with Unaka possibly playing spoiler on who wins it outright.

Got to see Hampton play, played very hard and have some depth it seemed but looked extremely young. Only other Region 1A teams I’ve seen are NG and Hancock. NG will take some bumps early a lot of young kids, best Hancock team I’ve seen in years, when they shoot it well they can be dangerous. What about Cosby, haven’t seen them yet?

When Cosby is healthy they can be dangerous. Not very deep this year but im gonna bet were still better than Hancock!

Hancock beat an 11 deep cland squad by 10 on the roan.  We've had some to quit.  I don't know if the desire is there on the hardwood 

Desire...Dont get me started. 

We didnt play well the 1st half at SG and paid the price as SG shot very well and out hustled us too often. We young, but got time to get it together.

Have no idea I didnt go. Like i said when were healthy we can be good. Right now were still down one starter and another is still very limited. We only dress 9 or 10 to start with.

GB is without Willis a 20 point a game player and really good defender also.Future looks good.

I think district 2 has finally turned the tables on 1.  We've dominated so long it ain't even funny.  The state tournament runs of cland, Hampton, and UH number into double digits since Unaka's gold ball in 04

    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
