MaxPreps 2015-16 Tennessee preseason high school girls basketball Fab 5, presented by the Army National Guard

1. Riverdale (Murfreesboro)
Head coach: Randy Coffman
2014-15 finish: 22-9

Despite all the returning talent and national recognition, the first thing Riverdale has to do is overcome the scandal that erupted after Riverdale and Smyrna both blatantly tried to lose in order to avoid facing Blackman in the Tennessee playoffs last season. Anastasia Hayes comes back for her junior season after leading the team with 18.9 points per game.

2. Blackman (Murfreesboro)
Head coach: Jessica Jackson
2014-15 finish: 32-2

Don't expect another top five national ranking from the Blaze. But as long as Crystal Dangerfield is running the point, Blackman has a chance to beat anyone. And it doesn't hurt that Jazz Bond returns as well.

3. Oakland (Murfreesboro)
Head coach: Jennifer Grandstaff
2014-15 finish: 25-8

Yes, that's all three top teams from the city of Murfreesboro (population 117,000) – and with most its firepower back, and lots of depth, this could be the year Oakland finally unseats both Blackman and Riverdale as the city – and state's – best.

4. Bradley Central (Cleveland)
Head coach: Jason Reuter
2014-15 finish: 23-5

Coaching, young talent and depth could turn 2015-16 into a breakthrough season for Bradley Central, which has consistently been a strong team in a very strong state.

5. Elizabethton
Head coach: Len Dugger
2014-15 finish: 33-1

You have to love any school that styles itself the Fighting Cyclones, especially one coming off a 33-1 season. Though three seniors are gone, and Elizabethton is a AA school, the Fighting Cyclones still bring plenty of heavy weather regardless of the level of competition.
