Didnt make it to the last few games. whats the outlook going forward for BC? how do many of yall think we will look next year in the new region?

I think that just goes to show how much different it is once the talent level gets more comparable. Once you get to high school coaching becomes such a bigger part of the game. its easy to be big winners in middle/ rec ball. but its much harder to win the further you go up. But I hate it for the kids. I dont know how many times over the years ive seen kids make it to high school and don't have the success that many projected for them. sometimes its coaches get in the way of that and sometimes just bad timing and bad luck.

score was 28-13 and Bradley had it at 21-0 at half before letting their foot off the gas. You cant take everything from a box score. heck if you look at the Maryville vs BC game you'd think Bradley scored quite a bit. But in actuality the majority of those points came against Maryville's twos. Bradley is without #10 but that defense is still nasty. I just hope i can make it down to the game after work Friday with the early start times.

Not sure if I can take this serious or not? Who did they play close that's one of the worst teams in the state? how can they be considered very weak?

yeah walker valley wants no part of 6A, i can only imagine their coaches and admin thanked the good lord for saving them from that beat down.

I smell an upset brewing or it could just be the chili i had last night.

i guess i just missed the part where they had ripped of a few state titles. or even participated in one.

why would Elizabethton look to move up? what do they have to gain? they haven't won anything in 3a?

can you quote it? or a general run down?

very interesting and not at all surprising. early season Bradley was mud stomping teams. the past few games have looked closer on the scoreboard then they actually were but the computer cant recognize that I'm assuming. Either way the Bradley vs Maryville game is shaping up to be big time.

most likely. lack of talent, injuries, and just poor coaching has led to this.

whats yalls take on how he will do next year when hes "the guy". I've heard interesting thoughts on this from a couple of WV fans. some think he will continue to improve some expect a drop off with the supporting cast being less favorable.

i really wonder how long it takes you to type those posts out ^ lol

everything is coming to a head with Bradley vs Maryville on a collision course to decide who will be #1.

This is an interesting match up. I'll take Hardin Valley just for the offensive firepower.

Gotta support WV in this one.

best way to enter the stadium/park?

It really is a genius system. win or lose at the youth/MS level those kids are being prepared with verbage and terminology that fits the high school.

I think you see this happening with QB's more so then any other position. With the all the "QB Coaches" and camps kids are looking around for the best fit for them. its kind of the nature of the position as well. Only one QB can play. its so different from any other position on the field where you have multiple spots at linebacker, receiver,O/Dline, ETC.

I think you nailed it. Ive seen Bradley's middle school feeders go winless several seasons in a row to turn around and be some of the best classes at Bradley. The coaching staff at the middle schools are made up of mostly volunteers and usually coaches who quite frankly just arent in the same stratosphere of coaches as the highschool coaches. You run into the same issues every where kids playing out of position, poor development, and poor coaching. To blame 13-14 year old kids for things is very poor logic. I've heard of these middle school coaches blaming kids for losses and such and at the end of the day the grown men should be looking in the mirror.

looking at the current enrollment numbers what 5A teams make the jump to 6A in yalls opinion or too early to tell?

have the papers had their predictions yet?

someone will have to let me know how the game goes today between WB middle & LF.

I think its pretty apparent no one is overlooking this Cleveland team. All eyes are on this game. To most people this game means way more than any before or after it outside of a state title. But this is a lot different Cleveland team then the bears played last year. But from what ive seen so far of the bears they look a lot different too.

what really surprises me is how many people think Cleveland is going to win this game. Not sure how they've been so much more impressive to this point over Bradley.
