Glass House Picks in Single A

Recommended Posts

State Tournament is getting closer and closer. I personally have chosen 5 teams that I think will be there starting in East TN to West TN.                       
North Green,  Clarkrange, Pickett County, Loretto and Greenfield. The next three spots is where it gets tricky, IMO. Oneida or Cloudland  and Summertown or Huntingdon will be there, IMO. The next spot is wide open so I will list all that I think has a chance and it is a long list: Gibson County, Union City, Gleason, Dresden, Bradford, Peabody, Memphis Business Academy and Hillcrest. And Memphis could have a team I don’t know about  that is challenging Memphis Business and Hillcrest. This is just a list of teams I have been following and my picks. If you have a team that is not on the list don’t take it personal because there are lots of teams that I don’t see.

I still would take Gibson County in that second tier. They are gonna figure it out. Union City has a solid team, but outside of #10 and #23 I don't trust that anybody else can make a play, plus to be so athletic, they don't rebound it well. Bradford is solid, 3 really good players (#44, #23, and #15) but they aren't great defensively, and offensively it's ugly when #44 isn't in there, she's the key to everything they do. Gonna get a look at McKenzie's girls tonight.

13 A is very interesting because the regular season is so critical to be a number 2 or 3 regular season seed to have a decent chance to stay out of a potential 3 seed in the District Tournament. A number 3 seed means your in Greenfield’s bracket in the region and we know what that means. Gibson County plays like they have the last two nights and stays out of foul trouble and limits TO’s they can make a good run. Still lots of ball to be played. McKenzie I feel will be in the semis of the Region and definitely in the mix. Scrappy team. Huntingdon I feel with the transfer from Clarksburg will be tough and will be a good addition to their backcourt.

Here are six of the teams that should be going  these would be my top 6 teams in the state in no particular order.  

Clark Range

Pickett County

Summertown

Loretto

Gibson County 

Greenfield

 

Good list. GC has to be more consistent. I think if GC can make it they will be confident and won’t be intimidated in the setting at the glass house. That can be said though for Greenfield as well and others. Summertown losing a good player and Huntingdon adding one evens them up a little bit IMO  with a slight edge to Summertown because they are playing the Region in their neck of the woods. The teams behind Greenfield are pretty good teams yow just make them all look bad with your pressure. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if Gleason ends up getting hot and playing well. Well coached and have depth.

I have seen Loretto, Summertown, Huntingdon, and McKenzie. 
Loretto is the best of the four. Summertown and Huntingdon are a coin flip. I thought Summertown was 6-10 points better but losing their guard changes that.
McKenzie did not impress me. Maybe they had a bad night when I saw them. Based on what I saw, they are not a lock to be in a region semifinal game.

Bottom line is you will have a real good team in probably Huntingdon or Summertown not making it. Outside of Loretto and Summertown, I don’t know a lot about their region. Wayne County used to be tough back in the day,

Fillies are improving, we'll see how much Monday night at Greenfield. Fillies are a fast, long team that just got faster with our transfer. Hopefully we can cut down on our turnovers and give the Jackets a game Monday night. Greenfield press is so tough, . they are so long and quick. They destroyed a good Dresden team Friday night. Jackets might very well run the table. Looking forward to this matchup. Go Fillies

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
