#1 Macon

#2,3,4 Upperman 

#2,3,4Dekalb

#2,3,4Cannon

#5 L.A.

#6 York

#7 Watertown 

#8 Smith

#2,#3,#4 toss-up. 

Preseason prediction. 

Seen Upperman, Cannon and Macon all play this summer. I would rank Upperman slightly above Macon Co with . Upperman is just deeper and longer. Both are really good teams, this district is just going to just beat itsself up this year. Those 3 teams are as good as any 3 teams in 1 district in the state. A LOT of future college ball players on those teams. Cannon & Upperman are loaded with potential future College players (NAIA-D1 levels).

I did see where UHS beat East Nashville this summer. The transfer to Macon will be interesting. She is a solid player that will require touches. Those touches will have to come from somewhere. I do not see her happy as just  a defender and rebounder. As she is a capable scorer. This may take a bit to get worked out. I've not seen them this summer maybe it's already been worked out??

MC has beaten Riverdale, Oakland, Loretto, and many more great teams this summer. The transfer is looking really solid right now. She’s played a vital role in rebounding and defending and can score when she’s given the opportunity. So far she’s played fairly well in the system up here at MC.

DC returns 17-18 starter Walker who sat out last season with a shoulder injury and 18-19 starter Agee who missed most of last season as well. Couple them with Ferrell, Colwell, and Ruch and we have a solid starting 5. Bench may be a little thinner this year as I am hearing a few didn’t try back out. I’ve heard of one pretty good freshman coming up as well. Just excited to get this season underway! 

 

I did hear of us beating Oak Ridge at a camp

but you know how those go. And I’m not sure how competitive OR is expected to be, and oftentimes the play everyone during the summer.

I got the opportunity to watch all the teams play this summer in camps and some of the kids on travel teams throughout the summer. I definitely think Macon will hands down be the best team in the district before and after the transfer from Watertown. I think 2,3,4 and 5 will be a toss up between Upperman, Dekalb, Cannon, and with a new coach at York I wouldn’t be surprised to see them up in the mix. Smith, Livingston and Watertown will battle for the remaining spots. Upperman has a few girls that will get offers to play after high school, but with Dana coaching they will always be someone you can’t count out. Dekalb will be a team to watch again this year also. Although they seemed to have lost a couple key players from lasts years team they looked a little rough and young.  Cannon’s seasons  the last 3 years have been up and down. They are the only team in this district with 4 of their starters getting on the all district teams and haven’t gotten to regionals. In this district night in and night out the Smith Co.’s and Livingston and Watertown’s are just enough to not over look any of them throughout the year. It’s gonna be another competitive season for sure. Good luck to you all. I’m going with 

  1. Macon
  2. Upperman 
  3. Dekalb
  4. York
  5. Cannon
  6. Livingston 
  7. Smith
  8. Watertown

@8aabasketballfan Very good post.      I posted how I think they will finish above but this is why.   I don't think Macon loses a district game this year.   The post transfer is the difference.   They now have 3 solid scoring options and great defense.    I think 2-4 will be very competitive.   Upperman and Dekalb will be solid again this year.   Dekalb is returning a couple players from injury which I think will bump them ahead of Upperman along with the amazing play of Ferrel this summer.   Upperman has several good players.  Crouch and Hurst are ballers and Upperman will go as far as those two carry them.   It wouldn't suprise me if Dekalb and Upperman flipped but I expect those to to battle it out for #2 all year.   I think Cannon will be the most improved team in the district this year and will pull off an upset or two.   They have 4 solid seniors and I think  Kauffman could first team all district this year if they can pull out some wins.  I think York needs another year.  The freshmen will help them but I am not sure Johnson can score enough to beat the teams above them.   Should be a fun year in 8AA.

    • 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.
