Who wins AA in 2020-21, and why?

Absolutely hated the way last year finished and my heart goes out to all the players and respective schools, but who wins AA next year?  Thought Macon had a great chance to win it all in 19-20, but lots of good teams with legit chances next year.  I think Upperman will be loaded and run through district, region, and sub-state untouched, and will have great shot to win it all.  Maplewood and Westview have their chances as well.  Not sure about Grainger or  Meigs though.  I think Macon loses too much to be a contender, but should still be better than average.  Anyone else have an opinion?

South Side could very well be my pick (along with Westview). The Lady Hawks graduated 0 seniors off this years team. They also have a very good player returning off injury in Currie-Jelks. District is easy enough where they'll play but mainly sit out the second half of majority of their games. One team to watch out for in West Tennessee is Crockett County.

From the West in A, I think Gibson County-Huntingdon-Union City will be the front runners. In AA, I'd say Jackson South Side-Westview-Covington will be the front runners. If SS stays healthy and with Currie-Jelks back in the mix, they will be a handful in AA.

Don’t know about the rest of the state, but it will be two of these three IMO in Murfreesboro in AA in Westview, South Side and Covington with Westview and South Side being the favorites in West Tennessee.  Will be a big chance for a lot of youth to display talents in West TN next year with teams like Westview, GC and Greenfield losing seasoned talent. Do think West TN basketball will be very competitive across the board with teams getting state ready later in the year. Probably will see some growing pains and coaches trying to find the right chemistry along the way. South Side could be really good this year in West TN. Coach always seems to have them ready and always has their motors running in 5th gear. I look for GC and South Side to have some wars this summer as both teams will try to get each other ready for the 2020-2021 season. Hope and pray the good Lord blesses us with another season.

Any opportunity for the two teams to play, preferably the Tuesday before Thanksgiving?

They played twice this past year and have always played in the off-season. I would contact Coach Wilkins from GC. I assume you are talking about South Side and Gibson County right?

I agree. They always play an exciting game. I do know the last two years we have played Greenfield that Tuesday before Thanksgiving and South Side has played in our Thanksgiving or Christmas Tournament. Y’all played Summertown last year too that was a great game.

I’m not a South Side person, I’m actually the opposite. I’m a North Side fan, even though I’ve currently have no personal affiliation with them anymore (like no family members play for them).

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
