Cleveland

East Hamilton 

McMinn

Walker Valley

Bradley

Ootlewah

Soddy

 

Cleveland obviously lost Wood, but I think you see a much deeper team this year with all those talented sophomores. 
 

Bradley would have probably been the favorite had they still had Curry and Berry. 
 

EH returns good talent at guard and they have some size. 
 

McMinn, Bradley and WV will battle for 3rd, 4th and 5th.

Cleveland will win the district again. They have the two best players in McGowan and Hurst, and all those young kids should be ready. Have heard really good things about young stud Jasen Brooks (I believe that’s his name). 
Have to admit, don’t know much about EH, but they always have solid athletes. 
My sleeper team: McMinn. Ty Runyan (junior) and Davion Evans (sophomore) are two very solid guards. They just don’t have much size. 
A name to watch for: Tucker Monroe. Sophomore from McMinn didn’t get much burn last year. He will be McMinn’s best player/scorer by his senior year. With his unbelievable work ethic, he might just make that jump this year.

That’s exactly why I had McMinn 3rd.

You agree with my take on the guards or just the fact that their size limitations as a team is what could hold them back? Not trying to nitpick of course, just wondering what we see eye to eye on.

Their size will limit them against EH. They probably match up well size-wise with everyone else. Cleveland will have to much talent overall for them and they should handle everyone else. I thought McMinn made great strides last season. Obviously with COVID who knows how it all shakes out, but in a normal year I wouldn’t be surprised to see McMinn in the district championship game.

    • 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.
