Obviously, this is going to be skewed toward small schools, so you can probably throw out the Oldhams, Andersons, SKs, etc.

 

Jones has had Gallatin solid over a long period of time, no doubt. As far as other small schools in the 8th go...Owen, under Duvall, has risen to their level in recent years (thanks in large part to the Williamses, but they have a solid program regardless), Carroll won the All-A 8th last year, and Walton Verona will be back to compete with them in short order under Brannen.

 

But, Gallatin has sustained it over a longer period of time. The 31st is a very competitive district with four similar sized county schools (GC, OC, CC, and Henry) and a fifth independent (Eminence) that has some good teams in the past. Hope any upcoming realignment never breaks that district up.

Simpson protégé Jason Burns at Spencer did a decent job in his first year as a head coach. They won only 8 games with a team that had only about 8 points per game returning. They were competitive in a lot of games and will look to improve in his second year in the program. I think you will see this team resemble the South Oldham style of play. Coach Burns and his staff are tireless workers and I look for Spencer to take a step up this year.
