Not sure, but I do know they were young last year. That's why I think they will be one of the best again. If Boo does not play basketball then idk what all Bradley has back. WV may be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed Oak Ridge was missing a few players because they usually have guys play both sports, the only rotation Catholic player that plays football is Quincy (maybe Aron), But then again I don't know who the new players would be for the Irish. Nevertheless a good win by Coach Blair and staff. I hope they do well this season, tough schedule for Catholic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINEDAD Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Expect Dobyns-Bennett to be a strong team that can make a 3rd straight state tournament. Chris Poore is without question one of the best HS Coaches in the State. How do you replace the dynamic duo of Stump and Gillespie? With 6 really good guards, most all Sophs. Open tonight vs Volunteer (state tournament team last season) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelyell10 Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 There is no way possible that anyone thinks that poor and db has a chance for state…..they may win conference but the conference is so terribly weak, who cares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelwoman87 Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 Maryville beat Sevier Co last night. It was an exciting game and great crowd for season opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long way to go, but watching the game last night I would agree with him right now. Definitely not the team we had the last two years. A 51 point win over Volunteer may look nice from the naked eye, but Volunteer lost all five starters from last year's state tournament team and was, to put it frank, not very good. As he said, the conference is very weak this year. West Ridge lost to Cocke County last night at home, Boone lost their Mr. Do It All. Crockett dropped down a classification and I think the Hill stayed mainly intact, but should only see marginal improvement this year. Good news is with Crockett dropping down, nobody is eliminated before the region tournament this year. Will we get better as the season goes along? Of course. Will we get good enough to make it to the glass house? Only time will tell, but definitely need a lot of improvement over last night for sure.

East TN 4A will be Oak Ridge and Sevier County if I had to put money on it. Maryville is only other team that I think could beat those two since they won vs Sevier last night. DB and Sevier Co leagues are very weak. Region 2: Oak Ridge has a cakewalk in District 3 and then District 4 is brutally tough, but any of those teams could defeat a Region 1 Sectional opponent. Still would not pick against OR and SC right now in a tournament setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
