Region 5A 2020

[rebelboy121]

Will this region be as competitive next year as it was this year.  All teams lost some key players.  Moore County probably returns more players than the other teams.

Fayetteville repeats if TSSAA stays out of the way. Cornersville finishes 2nd.

i would predict another competitive year... Fayetteville is the obvious favorite for the top spot.

MTP returns #46 and most of the defense. offense will lose a couple of big play makers but a lot of young guys got to play this season and skill positions look pretty good.

Not so sure about Fayetteville. I think they are losing 21 seniors off the team. They will still be good, but not sure how good. Cornersville is losing some key players, but return most skill positions. I agree that MTP will lose some key guys, but have some talented young guys as well. Huntland is not losing too much that I am aware of. Obviously Reed and a few others, but return a majority of their production. I also agree that MC is returning a ton of guys with valuable game experience and should be a contender. Richland is also returning quite a bit I believe. Could be an interesting 2020 again for sure.

IMO, this is the most competitive region in 1A. Next year's Fayetteville team  in  grades 9-12 only lost 2 games in our middle school division --  total. They were both this season and barely. I assume most of those kids are still eligible and will be playing.

For Fayetteville next year the Senior/Junior/Soph crew didn't lose any in grades 9-12 (undefeated 3 years running) I believe.  That said they did lose some kids to transfers so it will be interesting to see how they stack up.

Well, if we are talking JV and Middle School. MTP was undefeated in both last season with the middle school winning the conference championship.

Sometimes middle school success does not carry over to high school, but I do agree Fayetteville has tons of athletes.  Should be an interesting year.

Very true. Honestly probably often the case.  Schemas and teamwork are much more important at higher levels; less likely 1 or 2 talented individuals can control the game like they can at the younger levels.  And really some kids hit puberty earlier and sorta peak at 13 or 14 and then everyone else just catches up.  But its always fun to speculate.

Much like this year, should be very competitive region with not much separating 3 or 4 of the teams.
