Grainger got beat by Greeneville this week and struggled with Gatlinburg on the road. Grainger has talent but will struggle against well coached teams. They will miss Combs on the bench this season. Looks like he was a BIG piece for them. 

Northview and South Greene are solid but not near as good as last year. NV has the Penland girl but not a ton around her, although they do have some shooters who help if they’re “on.” SG is well coached but just doesn’t have the scorers they usually do and lost probably 60-70% of their scoring from last year. 

These teams get the publicity because they self promote but here’s my outlook on East TN, or at least this substate area:

Sullivan Central (Abbey Crawford D1 post is TOUGH), Elizabethton (long and will be matchup problem for post season teams) (1 and 2) Greeneville, Grainger, South Greene (even)

Alcoa, Gatlinburg-Pittman, Northview (Top 3) Carter, Pigeon Forge (even)

Really enjoyed reading back through this thread today. Many had some great predictions. However this post above, is still my favorite. Pretty sure that Grainger and GP made it out of Regions 1 and 2. Maybe that Grainger win at GP wasn’t so bad after all.  Also a good thing that Grainger was very talented and didn’t run into any well coached teams come tournament time. (Laying on the sarcasm here, there are many well coaches teams in East TN) Regardless of our opinions, March matters but it’s always fun to play that guessing game all season long. Really hate it that the girls didn’t get to finish their state tournament. 4 great teams remained. Hope to get back to normal soon. Next year should be fun once again!
