The field was released today:

Tennessee teams represented:

  • Dobyns-Bennett (defending 4A champs)
  • Greeneville (defending 3A chanps)
  • Tennessee High (host school)
  • Fulton
  • Knox Webb

Rest of the field:

  • Gate City (VA)
  • Twin Springs (VA)
  • Christ School (NC)
  • Myers Park (NC)
  • North Mecklenburg (NC)
  • Madison-Ridgeland Academy (MS)
  • Norcross (GA) (defending GHSAA 7A chanps)
  • Pace Academy (GA)
  • St. Francis Prep (NY)
  • Trinity (KY)
  • West Catholic (PA)
  • Westminster Academy (FL)
  • Tabernacle Baptist (Bahamas)

Hearing that this may be one of the weakest fields in recent memory with Norcross easily being the early favorite to win it.  Never too early to discuss the Arby's.  I am interested to see what my Indians can do in this though coming off the title last year.  We've lost a few but also picked up a nice transfer in the offseason.

It’s hard to get the best teams to come after the horrible officiating last year.

Definitely a step down from last year, but always excited for the Arby’s. Norcross definitely looks like the best team. 

How's it going Creeker?  Seen where the Lady Indians play you all again this year down at East in the Food City tournament.  Do you all still have the Ramsey girl?

Going well! How about yourself? Ramsey is a senior this year and is poised to finish her career at Unaka with the all time scoring record (boys or girls). District 1A on the girls side will be fun this year. Coach Fisher from Campbell University was up the creek to visit her a couple of weeks ago. She visited ETSU as well.

I don't think the field is as weak as some say. All 3 NC teams are good and 2 of the 3 MP & NM are both very good. West Catholic may surprise some folks. Trinity may be the best team in Kentucky. They won the live period up there this summer and basically all the top programs from Ky and a few other states were there. MRA out of Miss is usually very solid, but I am not sure how they are supposed to be this year. Pace will be solid as well, and Norcross as mentioned has a great team.

Have been going to Arbys since the beginning.  Probably one of the weakest ever.

Not many local teams.  Was West Ridge invited or didn't want to play?

Not sure, there are a few less this year. TN High looks good, but they drew Norcross. Owens and Lane from Twins Springs are fun to watch, but not sure they have anything around them. Idk about Gate City this year. Oliver still hurt for DB? I was wanting to see him, but not sure he’s healthy. Greeneville won’t be at the same level as last year.

Oliver won't be back till January. 

Gate City stealing the Wizard of Oz line... "Toto, I don't think we're in the Mountain 7 anymore..." in this first game of the tournament. 

Days of McClung felt like a distant memory in that one. Christ Schools first 5 are good, bench drops off some. Will see if that hurts them as advance.

    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
