These programs are all gaining in depth and with the exception of Cane Ridge, which was already great every year, growing in strength and ambition.

Really, really struggled keeping Bryce Jackson Bryce Jackson 6'1" | PG Stewarts Creek | 2021 State TN off the First Team. Last season Jackson was extremely effective and consistent. He will average 15+ points per game again. Maybe he has a better season than Caelum Harris Caelum Harris 6'6" | SF Stewarts Creek | 2024 State TN ? The upside of Caelum is extremely high, but Bryce is productive now.
Chico McDowell transferred from Smyrna to LaVergne.

transferred from Riverdale to LaVergne. Santonio McDaniel transferred from Riverdale to LaVergne.
Antioch is a team on the rise, but frankly their players are quite unfamiliar to us at PrepHoopsTN.
Last year PrepHoopsTN did a ranking of Top 20 Guards in Rutherford County. Many of these players were included. Take a look.
