I believe Powell will have to sort out the defensive side of the ball for this to be possible 

Agreed. They've got some nice pieces in their front 7, but Walter is impossible to replace. That position was a huge issue in 2020, and you also saw it when he wasn't on the field at times this season.

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.

 

Powell has had a bullseye on there back since Lowe has been back....lol  they will be fine.  Losing a lot on D (and not just Nolen) Offense returns just about everyone.

Will the younger Nolen brother still attend Powell?

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?

springfield will be back honestly should be better

I don't expect either of them to. I think most assume the family is moving again to be close to Walter in College Station.

Losing your recruiting agent to Bearden will be the biggest loss. Matt will have to work extra hard now with the transport portal.

I thought this was the first year they had any playoff wins?

Lowe more than holds his own in that department

It's not so much about winning games, as it is the dislike people have for him.  Not sure why they dislike him?  Not to familiar with his past.

AH.  I'm still learning 5a so i can't help you.
