I'm struggling to pick a 5th team, but in no particular order, I've got Powell, West, Henry County, and Rhea County. Page brings some talent back, but without McNamara, I don't see them as a top 5 team yet. I also expect Knox Central to take another step back. Any thoughts on what Springfield, Mt. Juliet, and Green Hill bring back next year?

Oak Ridge will be loaded with question marks but with talent to work with. The schedule will be brutal again so expect some defeats but hopefully the Wildcats will improve as the season rolls along.

Powell will have lots of talent but will they handle the pressure of having the bulleye on their back.

I like Rhea County, West and Henry County as well.

I expect the west side of the bracket to look not much different than it did this year. 

Henry County, Springfield, Memphis Central, Green Hill/MJ, and maybe even Page again will likely compete for a spot in Chattanooga. 

And I fully expect all the usual suspects from East TN to be back in the equation. The more 5A changes the more it stays the same in that regard.

Out of the East I look for Powell and Rhea to come out of Region 3 & 4 then the winner gets West in the semifinals. If Rhea can find some replacements for the guys that are graduating, which I think they will. Rhea will be back in the quarterfinals at least. Too much talent not to be back to at least the quarterfinals. 
 

Depending on who Oak Ridge hires they could also be a contender in Region 3.

Springfield should be better by all accounts, they already had a stingy defense that may be even better if they can get some upcoming talent up to speed. The offense should be adjusted and improved as well, they will be in the mix on the west side as usual...

I believe GH is returning 15 starters, so they should be a factor again

    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
