Meck definitely is down this year and Webb school didn't look impressive against a weak Elizabethton. Mentor looks strong and I could see them and MTN Brook make it. I personally think Mentor is the team to beat. I saw Mountain Brook play. They are strong on both defense & offense but to me Mentor looks like the team to beat this season. Mentor has a legit 5 starters that can score plus a good (not great but good) bench. 15 minutes ago, Stinger24 said: I heard from a reliable source that Bearden wanted back in but was not invited. Odd since they won it last year. Would probably compete a little better than teams like Wise or Hampton. Seems like they always have at least some talent. 7 hours ago, EHSTrack06 said: Bearden was awesome last season in this tourney. They don't have the same team in 2019 so I don't think the would have been a factor. However, when I first seen the brackets for the 2019 Arby's Classic I noticed that Bearden wasn't in it. I still can't understand for the life of me why we wouldn't have them back. This local area without a team like Bearden just doesn't stand a chance at winning it. DB shocked some people including me when they won their opening game in a shocker. Edited December 29, 2019 by tonybologna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Hampton did beat TB. First time Hampton has been in the Arbys since 2010 and this isn't the caliber of team to compete with the Concords and Mentors of this tourney. Wish we would've got the invite in '13, '14 or '15 tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockton4182 Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Concord has a great team. Can they win 5 games to win it is the question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The semifinals should be great. These are without a doubt the 4 best teams. I think Mentor is the best of these 4 teams but anyone of these 4 can win it. Concord put together a really nice game in the quarterfinals. So did Mountain Brook as well though. Should be one heck off a semifinals. I'm sticking with my Mentor prediction to win it all though. I think Mentor plays Mountain Brook in the finals on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHSTrack06 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I'm with you, I think Mtn Brook vs Mentor in the finals. As for Bearden not being back..East also was not invited. Have a lot of close people near the top of the chain at Arbys who were upset East didn't make it. Word is that TN High was upset East wouldn't play them in football this past season so they did not invite East to the classic this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybologna Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Well, Mountain Brook turned out to be the best team this season in the Arby's Classic. They were clearly the best team this season. Mentor failed in the semis. I thought they would at least make the Championship Game. Mountain Brook was just solid in ALL phases of the game. I now see why they're such a dominate team in Class 7A in the state of Alabama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's strange that Tennessee High stayed with Mountain Brook for one half but most every other team they faced in the tourney didn't have a chance from the opening tip it seemed like to me. I thought for sure Mentor, North Mecklenburg, or Concord would be the teams competing with them for the title. Heck, none of them came within single digits. Just shows how strong this Mountain Brook team really is in 2019. I expect them to take the Alabama state title in Class 7A this season unless they were to have a bad game at the wrong time. I don't see that happening though. This team is really really good. I would bet they could give Oak Hill a game or possibly even beat them.

FLMS Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Mountain brook beat IMG academy last year. They have an incredible program. They actually lost 4 starters from last year. Edited January 11, 2020 by FLMS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
