Achilles

If you have played this great game then you are aware that is the greatest TEAM game played. The young receivers are getting better and better each week as they get comfortable playing Varsity football. There is one that played Varsity last year and he is ridiculously good, you might know him as CARP he is leading by example for the others who are all in with getting better every day at practice. Our offense line has never played Varsity and they are doing an Outstanding job run and pass blocking for their teammates. A bunch of young men that are also getting better everyday in Practice and taking what they learn there and applying to games. With only 2 starters back on offense and mostly sophomore and juniors playing now it has been amazing to see the success this team has accomplished. Defense all you can say is they are the HEART of this team and Lead with Determination and Passion on every play. Mostly underclassmen as well with 4 seniors leading them, they are truly fun to watch this season! Congrats on 4-1 start much work to be done but keep up the good work.

Bradley Football team is extremly close. A great bunch of young men who do not care who makes the play as long as it is made. This is a True team and losing Devin Friday night hurt all of the Bear Nation. Jefferson County was not only a solid football team but also very Classy during the game and after concerning dealing with "loss and serious injury that Devin went thru. It was nice to see True Sportsmanship and Jefferson County folks should be proud of their young men, fans and administration. We have so many underclassmen making plays on both sides of the ball it is amazing what they have done to this point in the season.

Exacltly Clevand and Bradley actually have friends that go to the other schools. I lived at the Rec Center and Marwin and Chucky were 2 of the coolest dudes in the 80's came to Bradley all the time and hung out. Benny came to alot of Bradley parents and disscussed transferring if their kids could play ball, Brian McGhee and Donnie Harris are 2 that did it. Let kids go where they want to play and parents want them to go, i is a Free land we live in. Like I said before nobody is getting anything but a free education anywany and we all live in same community.

I thought u agreed that the recruiting allegations were a joke? Remember Hickey?

Tribe fan, Here is the scoop, Cleveland Middle player told lake forrest player he wanted to come to Bradley but the Bradley coach did not want him. So, the lake forrest kid text the Bradley coach and tells him what cleve middle kid said. Bradley coach text lake forrest kid back and tells him any kid that wants to come to play for him is welcome. He text cleve middle kid the text, that kid shows his parents they screen shot the text take it to the cleve coach and he takes it the principal and school director and together they call TSSAA and state that Bradley coach is recruiting. Now, so you know the kid from lake forrest is little brother to Bradley QB 2 years ago and spends the night with coach's son and his dad played college ball with bradley coach that is why he had the coach's number in 1st place. TSSAA in all their wisdom deemed that Bradley coach did nothing wrong dispelling myth that cleve kid was not welcome, however he broke rule texting the family friend and ball boy that was working out with Bradley because he was a rising 9th grader coming to Bradley??. If Coach Crawford was at Cleveland this never would have taken place b/c he would have picked up phone called Bradley coach and uncovered what was really going on a Cleve middle kid wanted to be wanted that's it. News Flash all High School Coach's want student athletes that can play and be a positive teammate to come to their school! No incentive was offered just advice to call Bradley and set up tour and meet with guidance counselor about enrolling then he could communicate with young man.

lol is best comment you have made on Coacht, 96. what a joke recruiting in high school public schools. "incentives" booster club membership and they can work the concession stand for home games??? Talk to private schools about scholarships. public schools offer free and reduced lunch that's about all they can offer.

congrats to Walker for playing hard and tough. Good luck rest of way.

Matt, 1. Bradley Central won 3 games and lost 1 to Futon the only team you seemed impressed with by 5 points? ? 2. Maryville was very scrappy and undersized but very well coached 3. McMinn Central was not even at the tourney 4. I heard Atlanta wants you to come back

Here are some 3 to 5 year periods of winning for Bradley Central all after the "81 season. Noteable is the record the last five years and the ability to be the only team in our district to make the playoffs 4 years in a row. 32 - 21 09 thru 2013 27 - 13 85 thru 88 22 -12 98 thru 00 It is tough to win "consistently" in a 3 school county especially when Football is not a point of emphasis within the schools administration. However, during the last 5 years Bradley has won football games 3 times vs Cleveland, and 5 vs WV. WV is not bad at all nor is Cleveland or Bradley. None of three are deep, so during a season when injuries occurr getting Wins is much more difficult. Also, Cleveland has lost talented players to WV which in the past would have provided depth to Cleveland roster. Cleveland teams 93 thru 96 were loaded with talent and depth, hence the win streak and titles. With 3 schools we are not likely to see this again hence the absence of anything like that since the 95 season. Cleveland Record from 2008 thru 2012 is ( 26-27 ) ? the 2013 season takes them above 500 by 6 games.

Bradley offense has to execute in the Red zone like they have done out of the Red zone. Offense does this and Bear fans will appreciate this team and Winning will take care of itself.

Exactly and the games are played with passion and with respect. Cheap shots and late hits very rare.

My bad I misunderstood what you said. then we are in aggrement. Good luck to you Vision quest

Ask checkerboard had any good games in the last 5 years with Bradley?

Playing for title is relevant reguardless if you win or lose. This is what I mean by aarogant posts. EH had alot of talent the past 2 or 3 years but you or EH certainly did not invent the game. By the way your coach is very classy guy act like him, humility is a great attribute.

Not at all thin. Just get tired of the aarogance of some posts. All the student athletes at all the schools do good and bad things at all the schools. EH is not perfect nor is Bradley. RC has been known to be imperfect as well. If you come on in the internet and slam kids or coach's or a school then yes it is going to offend folks. My post was to correct the people that come on giving incorrect info and proposing that Bradley came up to Rhea and was doing all this crazy stuff alot was reaction to cheap shots, trash talking. In the end I stated RC is really good and will be Solid but they definately slammed a 3rd team back on the track and we heard cheers from the stand end his career... Obviously that is not the stance all RC people take but at least 1 felt that way. Good luck to all the teams and student athletes may we all have better sportsmanship Chatta cane
