As a dark horse contender, I go with White House-Heritage

If Elizabethton runs like they did at region, they should be in the top 3 somewhere.

 

Also, Im pretty sure theres no Region 7 or 8 in A-AA

There is definitely a region 7 & 8- These are the teams!

Heard CCS's top runner dropped out of regional race. Will he be ready for Saturday? Hope so. Also, I heard a couple of Lipscomb's runners were running hurt last week. Hope they recover for Saturday.

 

 

Comparing the top teams, its looks like they will be really tight. I think the race will be determined by the relative performance of each team's 4&5th runners.

 

No team has a sub-16 runner. Whittier of CCS and Cowan of FRA should be top runner for their respective teams and should run sub 16:15 - weather permitting. CCS, FRA, Sull. Cen. and Lipscomb all have multiple runners capable of running sub-17 minutes. The unknown is how the squads' 4 & 5th runners will perform.

 

I have my personal favorite, but genuinely hope everyone has a personal best time on Saturday.

[coasterboarder]

obviously i was wrong about regions 7&8. Im glad you could take the time I didnt and look it up on TSSAA's site. However, you failed to either give predictions for the race or say how the before-mentioned regions fared. Why isnt anyone posting in here?

[Fridge]

Well, in my opinion, FRA will win......there you go coasterboarder

[CherokeeChief]

Sorry Coaster, I'm not knowledgeable enough about A-AA to make any predictions. The only squads out of our area that I know enough about are CCS and of course Walker Valley. I just can't compare. Best of luck on Saturday and stop by McMinn's tent if you get a chance.

[coasterboarder]

Ive a feeling Im not really wanted there. Im not exactly loved on these board. I see your tent every time youre at steeplechase- you are Always directly behind ours. Good luck

[Aspen]

If pressure motivates, FRA, CCS, Lipscomb and Sullivan Central should be at full speed on Saturday. FRA has a chance to be the first boys team to win four consecutive State CC championships. CCS and Lipscomb each has 4 seniors on its squad running their last races (Sullivan has 3 seniors, FRA 2). Sullivan also has the pressure of knowing its A-AA days are numbered. With 1022 students, Sullivan will likely be reclassified AAA by TSSAA at the next classification.

 

Hats off to White House-Heritage which assembled a regional winner with a student population of under 300. WH-H should be quite a CC powerhouse when its student body matures in size.
