I think Independence is just #1 because they're the reigning champs. They lost a ton of talent and Blade had been building towards that class. They'll still be good, but I don't see them repeating. I think Cane Ridge should be in the poll somewhere, as they could be dangerous and make a run. 5A is going to be uber-competitive this year...but if I had to pick a champion right now, I'd go with a Hillsboro vs Oak Ridge final, with Hillsboro coming out on top.

Hope you're right about us, but we have a lot of question marks coming into the season, especially on both sides of the ball and QB. We have a lot of gifted athletes if that accounts for anything though.

Independence is not going to be #1. They lost a ton of talent including Bunch who made that team go. Top ten I can see but not #1. Leaving Cane Ridge out with 20 returning starters is not a smart move. They should definitely be in there. Sevier Co I would drop.

Before you lash out I was joking. Although after week 1 I do hope they do well!

 

Not going to lash out at anything..... your comment is what it is..... Summit will be better than they were last year that is for sure.... returning 13 seniors / and a talented group of juniors who just might know how to play the game.... as apposed to last years squad in which 5 seniors were on the team and 1 started....

 

Regarding their defense..... it will be pretty good..... the D Coordinator is as good as anyone's in the region.....

 

They don't belong on the list........ but the Doormat days / check the win column automatically when you see Summit on the schedule are over........

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
