Like a lot of teams in the area Bearden is not loaded with talent so it won’t matter who gets the job unless they are able to attract better athletes.

I think it should be a good game. If Heritage will keep mixing it up on offense and the defense can stop there passing game Heritage should win.

I think that Heritage can win this one if they can get that big offensive line to play up to their potential and the defense can limit the big plays.

You are probably right becauase the two school systems you are talking about have the best teams that money can buy,if more money was available we could make the needed improvements at our schools. If this is all about money and leadership in the school systems those changes will not happen soon. One thing that can change is the policy of taking kids from outside your school district so you can pump up your athletic teams,I believe that should happen in college not in high school.

There is no pity party here,we would build our program if players stayed put.I know most folks at Maryville and Alcoa like to keep the blinders on and think that they would be just as good without transfer players.If you really believe that quit taking them for a while and see if you keep repeating as state champs.

When all of the teams play with kids that should be going there then they should all play each other. If Maryville and Alcoa want to continue to go after all of the tallent then go play with Webb and the other private schools.

We need to get fired up along with the team.Last season was a start, now we need to build on that, lets get behind the players and coaches for a big year.

Heritage needs to go into this game ready to play and thinking about West and not the big win last week. West is not going to come in and lay down, I think Heritage will win this one 14 to 7.

Heritage has been able to surprise Farragut at home in the past,that is something that they can take with them this week. Each week has had a lot of what ifs,there is no doubt that if Heritage does not have its best game of the year they will not be able to stop Farragut. Somebody said it earlier that is why we play the game. Heritage players and fans lets keep believing.

Heritage went into the Seymour game with high hopes of being 4-0 coming into this game, with or without that win they will play Maryville tough. We need to work on more balance on offense, sometimes its ok to run the ball. Defense played hard just on the field too long. Focus is still a problem dropping passes missing tackles that needs to stop this week and a win is possible. Lets keep the support up the stands should be full for this one.

Heritage should win this game, but if they don't stop making little mistakes and losing focus like dropping easy passes this game could be a struggle. Lets keep the fan support up and there is no telling what this team might be capable of doing.

What's even better is Alcoa has so many recruits now, they can send them off to other schools. Heritage's starting QB was an Alcoa QB........ WB's starting and 2nd QB was an Alcoa QB's...... And where did Maryville's 2nd team "red shirt" QB play....oh yea.........Heritage! I love it when Alcoa's OOZ players beat Maryville's OOZ players! Nice try BC but another fanning. That 2nd team QB lives in the city of Maryville and always has. The WB and Heritage QB's are county kids.....would that be correct? Pretty weak try BC....actually very weak. Now run off and do some photoshopping. Certainly your strength....... I do not understand why factual information seems to bother you so much. Does that burst your "poor little bitty Alcoa" theory that you and your Alcoa brethren trot out so often? It's just a fact that regardless of Alcoa's enrollment numbers their ability to take players from anywhere for a minimal tuition creates a situation that nullifies the enrollment numbers. Even your head coach hilariously trots that myth out there every chance he gets. ...... Maryville supporters understand that advantage. We once enjoyed the OOZ players, though not even close to the number that Alcoa has, and it is a big advantage. BTW......I didn't see anywhere that recruiting was mentioned......except from you. It must be tough to take when you get beat by a team with kids from outside their zone.Maryville and Alcoa have been winning with this method for years, to hear both sides point fingers about how it is an unfair advantage is funny.

I know Cermak is a very good athlete but he is not the only one that will be on the field for Heritage. You are right about needing more than a quarterback the one they had a couple of years ago set new passing yardage records for the school and they still struggled. Its time for the kids that are there now to step up and take their shot. There have been good teams at Heritage in the past and there will be again.

Will this be the year that they start to get better?
