Projected Starting Lineups (2021-2022)

<p>Starters across the state will not be clear until opening night.  Expect lineups extremely similar to the following. </p> <p><em>If you want to add your team's possible starting lineup to the bunch, DM <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepHoopsTN">@PrepHoopsTN</a></em><em style="font-size: 1rem;"> any time. </em></p> <p>[table id=1094 /]</p> <p>Much deeper than last year.  Young guards litter the program, but they all have heavy minutes under their belt.  They are young, but not inexperienced. </p> <p>[table id=1095 /]</p> <p>Perry County will be long and lean in 2022. Lachlan is the key guy, but Donaldson will be vital defensively.</p> <p>[table id=1096 /]</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1019409" first="Bakari" last="Johnson"] will be an exceptional player in this his final high school season.</p> <p>[table id=1090 /]</p> <p>Jon Landon Knopf will be the team's captain.</p> <p>[table id=1064 /]</p> <p>[table id=1088 /]</p> <p>Knoxville West will add some substantial talent and size when their football season ends.  This starting lineup above reflects their "pre-football-ending" lineup.</p> <p>[table id=1084 /]</p> <p>East Hamilton brings back some dogs...[player_tooltip player_id="1043034" first="Zachariah" last="Laboo"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1021825" first="Cade" last="Pendleton"].  Alone that duo could win the district and yet they added scoring guard [player_tooltip player_id="1176673" first="DeLeon" last="Petty"] from Ooltewah High.  Do not forget the emergence of Ashton Munson is now arriving. </p> <p>[table id=1080 /]</p> <p>The State Champions lost just two players, one of them a program legend (P.J.

The return of formerly-injured [player_tooltip player_id="1019304" first="Rodney" last="Broadnax"] immediately allows [player_tooltip player_id="1034399" first="Judah" last="Sault"] to float outside the lane a little bit. </p> <p>[table id=1074 /]</p> <p>https://prephoops.com/2021/10/season-preview-christian-brothers/</p> <p>[table id=1089 /]</p> <p>[table id=1087 /]</p> <p>Ty Glasper is one of the best point guards in the freshman class.  His addition to the high school program, after tremendous individual middle school success, will be entertaining.</p> <p>[table id=1067 /]</p> <p>The starting lineup is composed of four seniors and a junior. "Great group overall," viewed [player_tooltip player_id="1280343" first="Ryan" last="Hudson"].  "Solid shooters surrounding me, a big that can finish around the rim and rebound and then a stretch 4 who can fill in gaps on the defensive end."</p> <p>[table id=1069 /]</p> <p>Read about FACS, a favorite as their Golden Generation starts their senior season.</p> <p>https://prephoops.com/2021/09/season-preview-facs-crusaders/</p> <p>[table id=1081 /]</p> <p>Beech brings back a Mr. Basketball candidate in [player_tooltip player_id="1011998" first="Kristian" last="Shaw"] and adds a scoring star in [player_tooltip player_id="1008433" first="Eli" last="Rice"] to an already strong team.  [player_tooltip player_id="1012001" first="Andrew" last="Paige"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1012003" first="Jackson" last="Long"] will join after Beech football wraps.</p> <p>[table id=1085 /]</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1317024" first="Asa" last="Hardyway"] will score 15+ ppg this season.
