blazer1set Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Toppper fans, don't be offended by this statement because I am just stating something I have observed year to year: For the level of talent that is generally on the field at SH the Toppers always underachieve. I don't know exactly, it's almost like they just can't focus all that talent together. Not sure if everybody is just doing their own thing, not listening to the coaches, etc. If you guys disagree or maybe I am not seeing something right feel free to chime in.

I am not convinced that SH plays a tough enough regular season schedule. Team speed kills and SH has not ever shown that they have enough team speed to win a state championship.

You could be right, it just seems to me that if the Toppers could ever play together as one cohesive unit they would be a force to be reckoned with.

I understand that it would be a long trip but SH should really schedule one of the top teams from Middle Tennessee early every season. It would show not only how good of a team SH has but it would also show what they need to improve on to compete for a state title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's Maryville and Alcoa in East Tn. or even Elizabethton and Greeneville right in their own backyard. Other than the past couple of years with Oakland you can't do much better than those four teams I mentioned. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too shabby of a schedule. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they are private schools you have multiple ones in the Nashville area that are strong and always searching for games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speed argument shouldn't be an issue because they have successful track and field and basketball programs. I have always found them to be soft. With the talent there, they should be a powerhouse. SH and DB always disappoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the end neither of them will ever get past Maryville in round 3 so maybe it's a moot point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
