concrete evidence says otherwise, but I'm sure youre totally objective in your memories.

Concrete evidence?!? I'll take the empirical evidence that shows mental health issues have increased significantly in young adults and teenagers over the last decade.

There are multiple reasons for said increase, one of which would be the rise of social media platforms. So yes, I'm being 100% objective.

What I just came in this thread and saw that message I had zero contact and your last 4-5 messages has been replies to me, so it sounds like someone’s obsessed

2 times doesn't equal 4 to 5 and WWE definitely doesn't stand for Walk With Elias.

Did you leave 825?

Yes, not by choice but it worked out for the best to be honest. I was offered a position over on Fox Lonas and couldn't be happier. 

I still have my season tickets though on the 50 if you know of anyone who needs them.

Pretains to acting like wild animals instead of leaders that represent a football program. Different generation of kids today and not just Bearden. 

It's okay Barn, Elias is a kid so your reference more than likely flew over his Herobrine head.

Not really. We lost a ton of kids after that season. But anyway.

Don't worry bro, Mr. Minecraft thinks he's the know all-be all of HS football. Hope things are good at MTA today, storms are crazy!

Catholic had the secondary to push Bradley. Especially in height, It would have been an interesting matchup. 

It will be interesting this year, good luck to you guys and I'll be watching from here on out in green/gold.

Yea, based on mainly DB and Safety talent/play.

I'd forgot that Catholic traveled to a National level 7on7 tournament in Hoover Alabama Friday where they went 5-2.

Alcoa lost to Bradley 4-2. At least they competed. I'd liked to have seen Owens playing Thursday, but Coaches want him 100% for the full game like scrimmage against McCallie next week.

I still think Catholic would have played Bradley tight from what I saw.

BTW, How did murvul do against Greeneville in their 7on7 Matchup?

I'm sure it wasn't pretty, but I won't be following the Rebels much anymore now that I took a position with Catholic. Outside of distributing our season tickets for home games, you probably won't find me around 825 anymore unless I'm visiting family.

Yup, I'd figured Catholic would have finished higher? But, Bradley was clearly head and shoulders above the others. Congrats!

Are you basing that guess off how Catholic beat Alcoa a few days ago?

Without a few lows, the highs aren’t as high. I think the team may be better in a few spots. Hopefully they don’t have a big drop off elsewhere. They will definitely miss #8 and the young man who broke his ankle. There are some good size kids on the team. It looks like the cafeteria has been doing a job!

#8 will be missed for sure, hope he locks them down on the next level.

Bad year to make the comparison.

Rebels went 5-5 in 1996, but they did beat Alcoa 40-12, hehehehe

Rebels also missed the playoffs that year, Alcoa didn’t. I'd rather have a spot in the post season over a W in the Blount County championship.

Alcoa actually wins championships nowadays.

Maryville has to create fake championships from the 1960s in order to feel relevant.  

Maryville can’t beat Oakland to get to a championship because Kevin Creasy came to the Boro took the keys to MHS shortly afterwards.  

The copium is strong in this one...

And they won’t be for a while, there are teachers over there that are trying to get students that are really good at the game of football kicked out of school for not being up to grade standards. (which is something Catholic has been doing forever) but coaches don’t want that, however, coaches don’t teach there, that is the teachers argument, and then the athletic Director gets in, so it’s a whole dumpster fire, but hopefully they will be able to fix it.

1. Bearden- new recruits, Qb much better, best coaches. 
2. Bradley-best kids, no coaching. 
3. Maryville-coaching is good, good opine. Strong running game. No Qb, defense sus

4. Cleveland-new staff, good kids returning 

admirals miss play offs with no Qb 

Mr. Bean (JJ) and his staff are not the best. Maryville would have that distinction in R2 and to claim Floyd can't coach is asinine.

I mean, Maryville has to go to Bradley Central, but Maryville stays home for Bearden, and I don’t think it’s been in this century since Bearden has beat Maryville at Maryville. It could happen, but I don’t see it happening.

Bearden last won in '93 when Lovie Smith's son had his way with us at Maryville. Could we see a repeat 30 years later?

Someone who figured out how to win 3 straight 30 years before someone else did. Lol.

30 years? Check your math, not quite that far.... barely over 10 years to be honest. What I can tell you though is no one ever figured out how to win 4 straight until we did.

Not that I'm against Hardee's or the patrons that go there, but the Saturday morning crowd usually don't have kids still in HS.

I would once and for all like to know who Maryville paid to come play for them since I've met every parent personally that has moved here the past 25 years and know why and what their story was on how they came into the program. The biggest issue with Bearden will be, can you mix oil and water? From the one story I heard last year a lot of parents were upset over personal issues that happened away from the football field which one said feed them with plastic spoons and forks not your best silveware.

Every parent???? Not sure I believe that...
