A/AA outlook

[JMorton]

Most of these threads are AAA and D2 driven. I thought I would make a thread to discuss A/AA. What’s everyone’s thoughts on this season for strong teams and individual wrestlers?

I'll throw this out there for some discussion. Pigeon Forge and Greeneville going after the top 2 spots with Hixson always knocking on the door.

Are we talking team state or individual state?

Good question. I was discussing team state, but I like PF & Gville in the individuals as both squads return 3 state champions.

I heard Dalon from PF moved to Lakeway Christian. Not sure if true though.

I think it is true. PF had 4 state champs last year. That is why I stated 3. I believe GHS lost a freshman state champ to Lakeway last year.

I believe Gumlick 3rd at 120 left as well

Did not know that. I had PF as a slight favorite, but that could be a game changer. I love watching these 2 teams wrestle each other but it is a catch 22 for me. I coached both coaches, Foreman and Shelton. I love them both.

Im gonna throw a few things out there but I am in no way making predictions. 

These numbers are based on last years results and recent news.

Individual top 6 teams.

Pigeon Forge scored 224 points. 80.5 points ahead of second place Fairview who had 143.5 points.

Next was Greenville with 134.5 and Hixson at 120.5. Signal Mountain had 117.5 and Nolensville had 112.5. 

80 points separate 1 and 2.

31 points separate number 2 and number 6

PF  graduated 1, returns 9 of 11 placers , two transferred out and one being a state champ. 

Fairview graduated 4, returns 6 placers,

Greenville graduated 2, returns 4 placers with 2 being state champs. 

Hixson graduated 4, returns 3 placers one being a state champ.

Signal Mountain graduated 1, returns 4 placers including 2 champions. They also bring on another tough Uhorchuk kid.

Nolensville graduated 3 and returns 3 placers.

Following these teams in order to round out the top 10.

Gibbs 108 points.

Alcoa 102 points.

Forrest 79 points.

Eagleville 72.5 points.

IMO Pigeon Forge has lost the most but also appears to bring the most back to the table. Does the loss equate to 80 points? Who can say.  Foreman seems to have a bit of a pipeline going at PF. 

Greenville and Fairview both appear to offer a challenge to PF.

Because I am not making predictions I will leave it at that. The remainder of these teams    should all make an impact this year assuming we have a suitable season and good luck to all.
