[Opperman]

Bradley is good but i dont think they have the fire power to hang with the Memphis teams or Brentwood. There good but i just dont think its all there this year.

Mine, too! thumb thumb

What??...No Hunters Lane?? Don't you read the papers?

Your just as quick to say that they are the best. Have you seen any of these teams play? Wright does present the biggest matchup problem. You cant tell me that BA would still beat any of these teams if Wright got shutdown, not sayin he would. These teams have more than 1 star as well. Who on BA is gonna stop Reginald Delk or Willie Kemp???

Did you actually read my post? I said that there are 5 teams that would

compete for number 1. I did not say that BA is number 1. You are the

person that made the emphatic statement that "BA ain't the best". I

don't know and neither do you. BA may very well be number 5. I

have not seen the Memphis teams this year and am basing my opinion

on my knowledge of some of the individual players (as well as team

reputations). At least I have the common sense to know that I am not

in a position to say who is and who is not the best.

whatever dude. on the BA thread i said i havent seen them play so i dont know how good they are but i know players that matchup well against them. Everyone else was saying they are the best and i said they aint, i'll say it again if you'd like cause i dont think they are, thats just my opinion. i could be surprised when i see them play but from what i read on here they have Wright and Bone and the rest of the team are just role players. there are teams in out here with 4 or 5 D1 guys on their team. like i said, i havent seen them but this is what i think from what i read on here, and im sure alot of what is on here is not true. i think yall put to much emphasis on a close game with a team ranked #25 in the country. Fairley has beat a ranked team, Ridgeway has beat 2 ranked teams, Bolivar has had 2 single digit games with ranked teams. Hanging around with a ranked opponent is nothing new for a Memphis team. Memphis has even had its fair share of top 25 teams. Im not saying BA would get killed everytime, like i said on the other thread, i think these teams would atleast take 5 out of 10 from them.

Brentwood Academy is certainly among the best in Tennessee and could give any team in the state a rigorous challenge. Are they the best? I concur with jek -- there's no way to know. If the rumors are true, then we'll find out next year.

My five (in no particular order) would be:

Jackson Northside

R-E

Fairley

Brentwood Ac

Ridgeway

Good list, even if they are in that order. I'd pay to see any of these teams play.

I like that five as well. Perhaps throw in Hunters Lane at 6.

If anyone in TN can give BA a run for their money, it probably won't be because Brandan Wright got shut down. He's not hyped for nothing, and those of you talking about him who have not watched him play need to watch before claiming you have a match for him. He's already shown multiple times that he cannot be shutdown. Of there indeed is a player out of West TN who can keep Wright out of the game, who is he, and why hasn't his name come up more? From watching him all season long, I just honestly think that it can't be done.

On a side note, I find it odd that the Tennessean ranked Hunters Lane above BA in their Power Poll, despite their losses to two in-state teams, MLK and Stratford. BA beat MLK by 13 earlier in the season, and BA's three losses have all come to out of state schools. The good thing is that this does not affect BA's postseason dreams, so BA will not have to end up being a veritable Auburn (down with the BCS).
