Hampton- will always be considered a favorite. Guaranteed to get physical defense and unselfish play. 


University High- Meredith is back and you never know what transfers they will get. 


Unaka- best coach in the conference, gonna get their best every night. 

Cloudland - never know, new head coach that’s been around the program Awhile, always a tough place to play

North Greene- several seniors that have been through the ringer, very little depth, did get a foreign exchange student that’s supposed to be really good.

If you had to choose them in order pre season now would you pick?

to me it depends on the younger kids from hampton they arent really proven..... also is the foreign exchange kid is even good. Meredith could win the league by himself

I picked Hampton because they do return some very experienced starters and they are always deep. NG has 5 other seniors that have all played a ton in their HS careers, foreign student is like 6'5 and is still an unknown. UH lost everything besides Meredith, his numbers will not be as good if he is the only one capable of creating their own shot. Like always, the conference is open to anyone, but those top 3 should be the favorites. Hopefully COVID stays away lol

It’s going to be a crazy one for sure

North Greene off to a good start beating Providence Elizabethton and a tough Grainger team 

Yes was able to watch them play against Grainger. The german kid is the brother of the really good german South Greene had a couple years ago (Schultz), he led them with about 20 points and there were 3 other seniors with 19, 17 and 17.  NG will be tough to beat with all the senior experience, their best post player didn't play against Grainger due to an injury so that was even more impressive.

I'll take Hampton,they have some very good underclassmen,they should be fun to watch,the sophomore and freshman classes made the trip to state in Jr high,i know that was Jr high but both classes have some very talented players

I definitely think they will be at the top once they get their legs under them. Meredith had 49 against TN High the other night and UH won. The next leading scorer had like 8. It is going to be Hampton, NG, UH for the title in my opinion. Hampton definitely has the toughest place to play. Hope the season can continue on without a whole lot of interruptions...The tssaa did vote that the highest seed will host the District and Regional Tournament, so that is something to keep an eye on as well.

North Greene takes down South last night ... was up over 20 until the coach subbed at the end.... the athletic kid looks to be turning the corner and the German is probably the 2nd best player in that league behind Meredith

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
