District 10A

[thenomad]

How does this district shake out without CA??

Richland, Santa Fe, Hampshire, Culleoka, Mt. Pleasant

Richland has been the dominant force in this district. Culleoka, Hampshire, Santa Fe are fighting for a top spot. Not sure what Mt. Pleasant has.

I live in this area. Richland will win the district again, though they are down compared to the last several years. This may be the worst girls basketball district in the state.

Some teams in that district only take boys teams to play - afraid girls get embarrassed

Hampshire is looking good. They have won a few games by large margins against Lewis Co. Perry Co. etc. Richland has lost some close games to Wayne Co. and Collinwood. Culleoka is around the .500 mark. Santa Fe is winless. Mt. Pleasant has 1 win. 

I think Richland and Hampshire are 1 and 2. Culleoka is pushing upward and adding talented 8th graders next week. Santa Fe losing transfers hurts them. Mt. Pleasant is still searching. 

Thoughts?

Richland really cemented their place at the top this week. I believe Hampshire and Culleoka will fight it out for 2nd while Santa Fe should easily finish 4th. Not sure Mt. Pleasant wins a game.

Very weak district. Richland runs the table.

Wish this district had more competitive balance so they could be more competitive in region and substate. It's been a long time since a team from this district went to state. I believe it was Cornersville almost 10 years ago.

Hampshire handles Waterloo (AL). Santa Fe beats East Robertson. Culleoka falls to Houston County. Mount Pleasant falls to Collinwood. Richland/McEwen postponed. 

District play around the corner. Any opinions?

Think it will come down to Richland and Hampshire, with Richland being the favorite.  Not sure about Culleoka or Santa Fe, according to scores on here, both have had some decent wins and really bad losses. We will know for sure in a few weeks.

Santa Fe handles Mt. Pleasant. Hampshire squeaks by Culleoka. Richland falls at Huntland.

Any thoughts?

Unfortunately... I don't think it will happen under the current TSSAA layout. Occasionally you will have a good team here and there, but besides maybe Richland & Mt. Pleasant you won't have a competitive balance that will compete year end and year out outside the district. The Maury County schools are to small to compete on a yearly basis. Especially when some of their talent transfers to Columbia Central, Columbia Academy, etc each year.

2018 TSSAA Enrollment Numbers (  ) : 

Region/Sub-state Schools:

Loretto (531), Summertown (486), Union City (454),  McKenzie (376), Houston Co. (417), East Robertson(404),

Other Competitive Middle TN Single A teams:

Eagleville (403),  Fayetteville(350)

District 10A Schools:

Richland (370), Mt. Pleasant (401), Culleoka (284), Santa Fe (192), & Hampshire (114)

 

Hard for teams with a 284 or less student pool to compete every year with schools pulling from 531-400.

That's why basketball needs more classifications as does football.
