As I stated in my last post in the thread about Pharr going to CAK...I believe that Bearden should/will go after Coach Rice from Karns. He does the most with the least out of any coach I've seen and in my 4 years at Bearden(ignore the username) , I believe we beat them 1x and we had WAY more talent then them. He's also a good player's coach and a very good friend of Buckner's so I'm sure he'll be recommended. Also, the guy from Sevier Co wouldn't be a bad choice either, bc he's turned around SC to a respectable program now and he seems like a very solid coach. Sullivan from Catholic might be a stretch, but I say him bc he is an alumni of BHS but I doubt they can pay him enough. I REALLY REALLY hope that they don't go for Matthews (guy who Pharr replaced at CAK) or Wright from West...BHS would be set back to how they were before Buckner if they hired either one of them.

I think that Bearden will/should go after Rice from Karns. I'm sure Buckner will recommend him to the AD/Principal at BHS bc him and Coach Buckner were very good friends and talked all the time. Also, he is a great coach IMO and does the most with the least out of any other coach. He def gets the most out of his players, but at the same time he's a players coach and all the players who play under him love him from what I've heard. Sullivan would also be a very good choice since he played at BHS in the 90s but I don't think he'd leave Catholic bc they can pay him more than BHS can I"m sure. I hope and pray that they do not try and get Wright from West...that guy is an AWFUL coach and would take the program back to where it was in the early 2000s before Buckner came.

I agree that Blevins doesn't really have any control over his players this year, but if he wins this way then I bet he'll take it bc he's never won state being the control nazi he usually is. Ppl who think Blevins doesn't care about how his kids act are ignorant, he might be the most controlling coach in the state. It doesn't matter who you are, if you get T'd up, get in trouble in school, or have a lazy practice he'll sit ur a ss.

I agree that Blevins needs to let them play. That was the one thing that I heard people talk about that was holding them back last year is that he made them slow the games down and play in the 60s...kinda like how boring old Farragut plays every year. This year though it seems like he does let them have more free reign than he has in the past couple years. He keeps the pressure on constantly and never relinquishes. You West TN boys are pretty cocky, but I'm telling you Bearden is legit. And for clarification I said one of the best to come out of EAST TN in a looong time, not the whole state.

That team must've been pretty sick, but I doubt they had the supporting cast BHS does. BHS runs 10 guys in and out and just runs teams out of the gym. If you try to run with them, you're screwed. This team has every starter over 6'4 except for the PG and they all play above the rim. I've never seen more of an athletic team...they only lost to the #2 team in the country by 8 points guys. If they win state then they have an argument for the best team out of East TN in a LOOOOOOOng time.

I come on here expecting to see a huge thread on Bearden's 93-43 Region Champ. win over Oak Ridge...yes a 50 point win in the championship yet all I see are threads about teams that are jokes compared to Bearden. I saw them play Maryville 3 times this year and watched several other games including the Oak Hill game and game tonight and without a doubt this is the best team to come through East TN in a LOOOOOOONG time. This team is so athletic and plays above the rim and pressures team constantly.

Ask those 6 D1 players how Pigeon Forge and William Blount are hahahhaa

1. I bet you don't even play for Farragut...ur prob one of the 40 players on the team since no one gets cut and u think ur the sugar bc ur on almighty Farragut...and ur prob on all the starter's nuts hardcore 2. I really hope ur joking about football..we'll show just how good we really are when we play 6a next year 3. Ur a tool and belong on Tool Academy and labeled as "The dude who isn't athletic but talks sugar because he's on a good team tool"

Not one person gives a sugar about girls cross country, girls golf, and boys and girls track...I'll give u props for baseball because ppl actually care about baseball. You can go ahead and mark down BHS for a state title in basketball this year bc they're the best team I've ever seen come through East TN in my 18 years. Science Hill will make state like always bc they have the easiest pathway to state since they get to play the ###### competition in NE TN and then play whoever Farragut beats in the regions.

I don't even know what ur talkin about brosef...I never started a thread.

What else are yall good at dude?? We won state 6 times this century in football and won bball 2 years ago. When has Farragut won in anything else? I know they won in soccer, but BHS is a better men and women's soccer program. Also, aren't they the best basketball team to ever come out of East TN in a long time? From when I watched them against us, they would've kicked our state champ. team's ######. Yall aren't good at any other sport...and don't claim basketball or football bc you have to win to claim those.

Bearden lost a lot, especially pitching with 4 guys that could be almost any teams #1's last year. They also lost a stud C, CF, LF...and that's about it. Every other senior will be replaced hitting, but the pitching will be tough to replace...almost none of BHS's pitchers have varsity experience. We faced Daniel, Hullett, Fennel, and Gouffon last year and they were all very very good pitchers. But I agree, WB stinks this year and BHS will blow them out.

Yeah dude I agree...bruceandpat=tool

I bet you or your son doesn't even play for Farragut. From what I remember Greenway got to play some on that stacked Bearden team last year so obviously he isn't bad.

You know that's true. They got all the Tommy Pharr camps that they all go to and then they got the Yard over there. Why do you think no one from Maryville plays with the Yard? Is it bc we're not good enough? No, it's because we can't afford to play with them...they get the best coaching and best opportunities.
