Just watching from afar, but I don't think Maryville chokes games away. Due to some players joining the team late because they also play football, it takes time for the team to build chemistry. However, in my opinion, this Rebel team will not be as good as last year's team.

I hate to say this but Farragut maybe the team to beat in that District. I hated Farragut when I was in high school in the early 1980's and don't like them much now :-D 

This will not surprise anybody but I believe Oak Ridge has somehow managed to put together a very fine team and is as good as the Admirals.

 I believe this Maryville team will be better than last years. Maryville will win their district and have a very good chance to get to the state tournament.

I agree with Maryville, they will be tough down the road. Really wasn't expecting that close of a game with Bearden with how Bearden's record looks. But with that being said, Bearden has played some very good teams this year unlike many other Knoxville teams. For example, Farragut started 7-0 but now have lost 3 straight. They haven't played anybody. I predict their 4th straight loss in a blowout against Bearden tomorrow.  As mentioned earlier, Maryville should continue to improve.  Totally disagree with Farragut being the team to beat. If they can't beat Heritage, how do they stand a chance against Maryville or Bearden? Hardin Valley may sneak up on some teams this year. Lenoir City is Lenoir City. William Blount stands a chance with their typical shooters. West is down which is odd to me. Still think Bearden finishes 2nd in the league. Will be really fun to see how it all pans out.

Great post Stinger! You made lots of good points and thanks for setting me straight on how Farragut's recent games have gone.

As for teams that haven't played tough opponents, I would include Oak Ridge in that mix. However, that changes the next 3 games. A tough rivalry game against Clinton and games against Webb and Siegel.

I didn’t care much for Mike Carpenter myself. 
He wound up being a “big” clock repair guy. 

That is, he repairs very large clocks, like at the courthouse. 
Wonder what he could have done to save the Clock Tower in Hill Valley....?imw=637&imh=358&ima=fit&impolicy=Letter

Maryville will be just as good if not better than they were last year. Etheridge is a great coach and always gets the most out of his players. Not sure why we (OR) don't play them in the regular season like we used to, but I wish we would again. Even if you take a loss in that game, it is great experience to go against a great program like Maryville is. So much for Farragut being the team to beat in 4-AAA WW. Their run didn't last long. They finally stopped playing the Chuckey Doak's of the world and went up against a few teams with an actual pulse.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
