Webb would definitely be my 1 team.  Upperman should be ranked higher and Cookeville should not be ranked and definitely not ahead of White County.  Cleveland and Coffee County would be a toss up but Blackman and Coffee play tonight should be a good game.

Coffee County loses to Blackman by 5 points.  They slowed the game down enough to make it a half court game but Blackman just has too much offensive power and good coaching to let that stop them.

I think the Warren County early season ranking was a favor to the coaching staff.  White County beat them last night.  Cumberland County is playing real well right now and beat Clarkrange while Livingston Academy beat Pickett County.  That district will be a beast and Upperman will have to show up everynight.

I am just seeing this thread and figure it's worthy of an explanation or two...

I am attempting to compile this weekly poll based on strength of schedule, win/loss, and over all body of work.

If a team goes out of state and loses to a top team from another state, or one of the top teams in the country, I am not going to penalize them as much as losing to an in-state unless it's a bad loss.

The in-state games and match-ups are easier to compare when doing a ranking like this. Webb is the most talented team in the state, and probably the country, but their loss to La Lumiere was a bad loss thus resulting in them dropping to #4. Warren County looked like a team that was primed for a huge season when I saw them this summer... now that the season is here, we see they're not quite what I thought they were. A good team, but not a top team...

I would be glad to come on here following the release of the ranking each week and explain why I've got teams in certain spots... or don't have them in certain spots. I may be setting myself up in doing this, but it certainly makes for conversation.

I love that you're releasing weekly rankings.  Makes for GREAT conversation

New TN Report Rankings dropped today:

1. Blackman                                                   11. McKenzie

2. Bradley Central                                         12. MTCS  

3. Webb                                                          13, Cookeville

4. Bartlett                                                       14. Oakland

5. Coffee Co                                                    15. South Gibson

6. Cleveland                                                    16. White County

7. Jackson South Side                                    17. York Institute

8. Westview                                                     18. Clarksville

9. Upperman                                                   19. Greeneville

10. Ensworth                                                   20. Trinity Christian

I think the top 4 could be put in any order.  I haven't seen Coffee or Cleveland.  Cookeville and South Gibson probably ranked too high.  

Greeneville only beat a bad McMinn Co team 62-60 and I would have Cumberland Co ahead of some of those teams.

No way Cookeville is even in the conversation as a top 20 team.

That will be a good game.  Has Cookeville played anyone outside of Blackman who beat them by 20+? I didn’t even recognize they were in top 20 and had no idea why?

Nahh we terrible….  :shock:

What you think about SG now? Still ain’t really played nobody worth talking about…. But what are your thoughts? 

SG is well coached team. Must of shoot 75 % from 3 point.  Dyersburg on the other hand is going through growing pains. If they can together will be ok

    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
    • What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
    • Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?
    • Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach 
    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
