Coaches and members of the media from one end of the state to the other were contacted in hopes of finding many of the best senior football players in Tennessee again this year. These are not necessarily the top 12, but certainly are among the best in our state. Our list this year includes, from left to right, top to bottom, Derrell Bailey Jr. of Greenback, Devyn Curtis of Brentwood Academy, Bryson Eason of Whitehaven, Dajeon Gibson of Blackman, John Hardy of McCallie, Marcus Henderson of Memphis University School, Tee Hodge of Maryville, Keshawn Lawrence of Ensworth, Cooper Mays of Knoxville Catholic, De’Arre McDonald of Oakland, Omari Thomas of Briarcrest and Elijah Young of South Doyle.

Guru's Top 5  Alphabetical Order:

 
     4A
Anderson County
Greeeneville
Haywood
Jackson N'side
Springfield

This is the 1st poll I have seen Haywood in the top 10, seen a couple other polls, I figured they just lost a lot plus the coaching change, maybe they will be pretty good, Dyersburg has been the team ranked where they are.....

    • 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.
