Preseason Top Ten in 4A for 2020

[lawnman]

Betsy is the favorite but if you think they are taking the Devils lightly you are dead wrong because the Devils are the team to beat in the East TN.Betsy has one state championship but that can’t touch what the Devils have done the last Decade.I for one respect what they have done and expect that trend to continue with the coach that have right now.

Very Nice

Ok so I have to point this out. Murphy Fair calls himself the guru. In his magazine he lists 5 teams from each class that he thinks has the best chance of making it to Cookeville. In 4A he selected Hardin Co, Haywood, Jackson NS, Springfield and Anderson Co. he says this is not a top 5 poll but just based on what odds in his opinion of making it. I can see Haywood, Springfield and Hardin Co coming from the West. Guarantee to be one of theses teams. But I busted at the gut laughing at North Side and was shocked not to see GreenEville and Betsy. Guess he thinks this is Anderson CO’s year?  What is everyone’s thoughts??

I haven’t seen the magazine yet. Just a pic of the preseason all state team. Betsy returns the vast majority of the team from last season. Would have to be the favorite.

Obviously right. They had the most people on the all state preseason team. Can’t believe he didn’t have them listed. 

[Mavericksinflight]

It appears based on speculation only and I Would tend to believe it. That this might be the best team prospect in 20 year for the Mavs. Loaded apparently they are. Depth does not appear to be a factor. And there feeder program started about 20 years ago. But a better reading and response would come from ol hickory.

We've got Betsy number one in our Poll.  Only argument you could make for his reasoning would be Betsy and Greenville have the toughest route going thru each other.   I'm still giving the best team in the State a solid shot at being there.

I would trust @FridayMainEvent ranking before Murphy.  I could see how Murphy believes that the West is Wide open but maybe he knows something about AC we don't.  Betsy returns almost their entire team from last year and should be the favorites with everyone they have coming back.  Coming out of the East you know the team is going to be battle tested coming into the Semi's and Finals.

But Anderson Co will have to get thru both of them  I just don’t see that happening. I think greeneville and Betsy have much better odds than AC. Definitely better than Jackson NS.
