East TN AA Region 2024 Predictions

[EastTNfootballFan111]

STANDINGS

Team	OVR	DIST
Boyd-Buchanan Current Streak: 1 L	13-1	7-0
Webb Current Streak: 1 L	10-2	6-1
Lakeway Christian Academy Current Streak: 2 L	5-5	4-3
Chattanooga Christian Current Streak: 1 L	6-5	4-3
Silverdale Academy Current Streak: 1 L	4-7	3-4
Christian Academy of Knoxville Current Streak: 2 L	4-7	3-4
Grace Christian Academy Current Streak: 3 L	3-7	1-6
Notre Dame Current Streak: 2 L	2-8

Way too early predictions for next year!

Boyd - Rankin.

Webb - Lost a lot, but always seems to reload. 

Chattanooga Christian - Will rebound after a down year. 

CAK - Speck seems to have them moving in right direction. 

Lakeway - Biggest surprise last year coming in 3rd in first year of AA. Graduated a lot of players, but seems to have built a solid program.

Grace - Price brothers will have a different approach, but football takes time. Long is under appreciated with school size, facilities and depth of region. 

Silverdale - Many of the public’s, CCS, McCallie and Baylor are at another level. 

Notre Dame - Many of the public’s, CCS, McCallie and Baylor are at another level. 

Happy New Year! Thoughts? I will add that East is not as weak top to bottom as many say, but the top in Middle and West are significantly better than nearly all in the East. Finally, if school choice and one time free transfer happens…who knows…lol

I think Boyd and Webb stay at the top again as their programs are solid and good coaching.  State legislators will approve school choice and the one time free transfer will be included in the package.  TSSAA will avoid the situation and take the easy way out and say they had nothing to do with the transfer rule.  The schools that are middle of the pack or lower will struggle when this kicks in.  The rich will get richer and the poor will stay poor. We shall see who is the most creative in recruiting tactics

My hot take for 2024: Boyd wins state, I think it’ll be tough, but I think they can edge out the boys from the middle, boys from the west really don’t do much so. Knox Webb may be alright but they did lose a lot. CCS loses a lot but also brings back a good amount as well, have to see if they get a solid QB. CAK may be scary, will be fun to watch. Likewise, Lakeway, another fun, not much to lose, out there to win games and shock the state, could see them having another great season.
