Did u see chatt prep? I believe they could have beat nybody. Dont know how their public. All boys school?

After watching all 4 games yesterday i agree with Chatt prep. Nothing against the 4a schools, but i believe a, aa, and aaa champs were all better than the aaaa. Just my opinion.

Yeah… all boys school. So they have double the amount of boys to pick from than anyone else. Maybe even 3x

IMO, Fulton is the best public school team in the state this year regardless of classification. They beat all of the top teams in ET this year, including 4A teams, and then coasted in 3A state tourney after tough first game with Fayette Ware.  Very talented team and extremely well coached as always by Jody Wright.

Ha.....this aged well. 

Looks like Alcoa has some good basketball players as well. I stand corrected!

Fulton was on a business trip. One goal and mission accomplished. This organization is a class act from the coaches down to the players on the floor. Love to see this kind of professionalism and humbleness.

Would have loved to see Fulton vs Indy.

I'm a homer, but don't believe any public school would'a stopped Independence from getting gold. They had a downslide mid point of season but were beating good teams soundly down the stretch.

I have to strongly disagree with this.   Chat Prep is a cheat code in A , but doubt they would have won a game in the AAAA bracket.  They lost to a down cleveland team, and beech this year.  They do have a decent AAAA win over Walker Valley. 

Alcoa was not as good as the AAAA final four.   They split with Maryville this year (W by 1 and L by 26) , also lost to Bearden and Morristown East. 

Fulton I could see having an argument. Beat Morristown East by 3, Maryville by 9, Bearden by 6.  They would have belonged.  I don't think they would have beaten Independence.   Think they would have been a great game with Cookeville. 

 

I know you can't simply look at common opponents.  Basketball is a game of matchups.    But I don't think you can really think that Independence was the worst of the 4 champions this year if you are honest about it.

Independence beat Maryville worse than Fulton,Alcoa and Cookeville beat them. Indy was a darn good team.

I agree with some of these recent posts.

1) Fulton

2) Independence

3) Alcoa

4) Chatt Prep

That's my list when ranking the state champions. We played Fulton and Alcoa this year and Chatt Prep last year.

I think that is fair.  Fulton is certainly in the conversation if not the best public school team in the state.

Fulton could have had 3 Mr Basketball candidates. Those twins were legit! 

[Alumn89]

Agree.  those 3 players were incredible.
