What teams are good enough to go to State?

[scrubadubdub]

i think Livingston Academy has a good chance because they r a good solid team

[cobra24]

I would say that Brentwood Academy-DII and for AA- Giles County A- Martin Luther King one of my surprise teams and AAA- I would say either Whites Creek or Stratford from District 12 my two surprise teams

[greatest]

Bradley Central will win the state this year in AAA because they are too talented, too experienced, and too well coached. White Station will attempt to take the title but will lose. Hare is one of the strongest guard I've seen in a while and Pickel will shoot lights out, then Pugh is so versatile that he can do it all. And with the coaching they have and the years they've played together I think that they have the best shot in triple-A. OSB, there is no way Ooltewah could even compete with Bradley, and they won't even win their district, so let that go. And Opperman, I think that this year you will see that the east has a little talent too as your beloved Memphis teams fall to BC.

You are right that Bradley will take it all... but I think you will be suprised by how well Ooltewah plays them... and you are horribly wrong about Ooltewahs district chances....Theyve got a good group of players that have been playing together for quite some time.... Oh yeah did I mention that Hamrick is out of the way and therefore so is his horrible coaching... The Ooltewah kids have what it takes to make it to the region final against bradley...(if Basketball has changed its format to where 2 teams get out of Regions, then Ooltewah may sneak up on a team in state)... greatest, i think you may not be your namesake at predicting outcomes...

Celina, Pickett County and Red Boiling Springs are all loaded this year and any could go to the state.

[Glyndon]

Raleigh Egypt may be the best team in AA and AAA this year

*YAWN* This doesn't have a year on it, so let me go on and ask. Was that post October 31, 2003 or October 31, 2002? Or October 31, 2001, for that matter.

[magicmarker]

I would ahve to say White Station for AAA and Giles County for AA.

White Station in AAA until proven otherwise. Bradley will be right there as well. Watch for Jackson Northside as a sleeper with possibly the most talented starting five in the State. East is another team that no one has mentioned, but behind PG Robert Jackson, 6'8 Miss St-signee Jerrell Houston, and 6'10 Keiron Jackson, they are LOADED. Hamilton has the best player in the state in Shawne Williams. Fairley is mega-loaded and lost only one player from last year's team. Those are the Top 6 teams in the State in AAA... If Pierre Niles is definitely at Ridgeway, then the Roadrunners will be a major threat as well, with Rorey Lawrence, Jordan Mincy, Chris Holley, and Michael Rice...

 

Raleigh-Egypt will be tough to beat in AA. Haywood Co, Giles Co, Bolivar, BTW, Austin East, Memphis Mitchell and Sheffield will also contend...

 

Single A is wide open after Temple's dominance last year. Greenfield may be my pick for the title. In an open race, never underestimate what one player can do for a team, so watch out for Forrest (Jenkins), Unaka (Chambers), and Chatt Christian (Cooke), McEwen (Puckett). Also watch for Goodpasture, Nash Christian, and FRA. Greenfield is still my pick, though...

 

D-II is all Brentwood Academy. Champs last year return almost everyone, including the best young player in the state, Wright. Never overlook Father Ryan, especially with 6'9 Langhi. Bishop Byrne with Hampton will also compete, as will Baylor behind Adams and Tindell...

Gomab...where do you see any of the teams from 6-AAA coming into the mix of things, namely brainerd ooltewah or central since red bank and soddy will not be good at all this year, i think one of these 3 will be playing bradley in the region and personally i think it will be ooltewah or central who are returning almost all of their starters, how do you think these teams compare to the rest of the state in AAA

[Galilee]

Memphis Mitchell will suprise with 6-7 F/G Thad Young, 6-6 F Andre Thorton and 6-4 G Brandon Powell all Soph. Whoever survives in Memphis Between Mitchell, Ral -Egypt, and BTW will have an excellent chance to win it all.
