It is really a toss up between Blackman, Riverdale and Oakland. The edge would have to go to Oakland. They have tradition and have been the class of the district for 20 years. No other program has acheived the success of this program. When in doubt bet on Coach King. The truth of the matter is that all of this will be settled on the court. Siegel could play spoiler for one of these schools in the stretch run. Stay Tuned!!!

Forget about last year this is a whole new season. Riverdale only lost one senoir(Josh England)which this team has the most experience and the most talent.And I promise you this year it want go to waste.GO WARRIORS

[bballboy]

No question Riverdale has the talent to win the disctrict. They are experienced and well coached but really it could go either way. Blackman and Oakland are talented and well coached also. It could come down to injuries and who is hot at the right time. But not just looking at last year but the last 20 years like it or not Oakland has been the class of the league. Shuttlesworth, you just cant forget that.

1994 Oakland State Tourney

1996 Oakland State Final 4

 

1999, 5 high schools in Rutherford County (Oakland Riverdale Smyrna LaVergne & Blackman)

 

2003, 6 high schools in Rutherford County (Oakland Riverdale Smyrna LaVergne Blackman & Siegel)

 

2006-7, 7 high schools in Rutherford County (Oakland Riverdale Smyrna LaVergne Blackman Siegel & "South Side High School")

 

This answers most of the questions.....same can be said for Clarksville too I believe.
