Is Bradley the team to beat in 2004

[Guest justasportsfan]

Just looked at the roster and Bradley had no seniors. Does that mean that they are pre-season #1? Hare, Pickel and Pugh, three all state tourny picks will be back, are back with their supporting cast.

 

I'm not a Bradley fan, or wasn't until i saw Pickel this week, but I place them at the top of the list!!!

bradley will be in the championship game next year, you can bank on it! i think they can have an undefeated season next year! good luck to them and good job this year! way to represent chattanooga area and east tennessee in general!

They had a good year this year. Next year Hare will be almost 19 yrs old by the end of regular season, Pickle will be 18 before the season starts. If they learn how to play defense the way White Station does maybe they will win it.

No, White Station is still the team to beat for 2004.

 

It very well could be the same two teams, but East, Fairley, Hamilton, Jackson North Side, and probably Bartlett may have something to say about that.

I guess Firefly has become a self-proclaimed psycic all of a sudden everyone.

I think 90% of the board will agree that Opperman is one of the most knowledgeable people on this board. He has an opinion, but unlike you and a lot of other people, Opperman backs his opinions up w/ stats and other figures. Just face the fack that DB wouldn't have even gotten out of district in Memphis and you don't know jack.

[Opperman]

White Station had a LOT of underclassmen playing key roles this year, and they have more talent on the way. They're the team to beat until somebody beats them. Nobody from the east or middle has beaten White Station in four years. Chew on that for a minute.

 

Don't worry, they'll be right back there next year, and they are the team to beat.

BA is definatly the team to beat next year they won state tournament and started 2 freshman and 3 sophmores

[Opperman]

BA's going to be moving to AAA next year?

White Station will be back if they have a good recruiting year. They lost 4 of the 5 starters, and I do beleive all of Bradley's starters are better than the WS 2nd team they had and the coach realized that too. But next year BC will be the team to beat, but WS will be just as good too if they have a good recruiting year.

[Guest gonab]

If you didnt know, WS is 10 deep every year.

They are the team to beat next year.

TJ is his initials, actually. No, he isn't a yes man, he disagrees with me about quite a few things.

 

Yes, I'm a Bartlett fan. But I'm also a basketball fan in general, and when White Station is playing anybody but Bartlett, I root for the Spartans. And have for a while. Same thing with Ridgeway. And Raleigh-Egypt, and just about any other Memphis-area team once they get to the state tournament. But especially the Spartans, Roadrunners, and Pharaohs. All three coaches (Terry Tippett, Wes Henning, and Jimmy Adams) are class acts and people I like a lot.

 

Yes, White Station has more talent coming, and they have some young players who will be STARS by the time they graduate, especially J.P. Prince. Will White Station's reign end? Sure. Will it be next year? Maybe, but it shouldn't be expected. With Prince, Jonathan Ball, Reilley Ervin, and Taylor Schall, among others, coming back, they will be VERY, VERY, VERY good again next year.

 

I know other teams have more talent on the way. I still say White Station is the team to beat next year.
