Upperman, you better get used to the idea that ppl will hate you for being successful and that means they'll use every excuse in the book and hope one sticks. Most can't get their brains around the idea that success recruits itself

100%, they’ve done it in girls basketball for years too

2013-2017 I would hardly call subpar

 

13-1 in 2013

7-5 in 2014 after losing a huge class from the ‘13 squad

9-3 in 2015 with another district title

4-7 in 2016. Subpar I will agree

6-5 in 2017. Par

 

Upperman had consistently subpar season before 2013. That 2013 team got it turned around and Upperman has taken it a step further under Caine

They had 1 great year (minus getting killed by Alcoa) and 1 decent year, and that’s pretty much all they’ve won before Caine other than 1996.

If we fill the offense and defense line we will be almost unstoppable 

They’ll get it filled. They’ll get those kids coached up and we will be scary

With #8, #21,#10,#13,#23 all back.....I could see UHS be in the finals again next year. 

Would love to see a Macon vs Upperman final. I think it is possible now that Macon is switching districts and wouldn't meet till the finals. 

I will still go on record sating those Boarder twins are the fastest 2 players we seen all season. 

don’t forget about #6, #36, and #55! There are also some younger kids with great size and athleticism to fill the holes on the lines. UHS will be compete for years to come.

Half of Upperman’s seniors didn’t even play. You act like every kid that transfers in is an All-American. If anyone was cheating or recruiting there would be more than half the seniors playing 

Upperman consistently had sub par seasons before Caine got here. It has much more to do with coaching than you think

It bothers me because it strikes at the heart of high school sports. What is happening makes it impossible for small county schools to compete. Upperman is dominating in every sport possible. The rest of the schools in the other 6/5 region/district teams are playing for 2nd place and just lucky to beat them in any thing. 
Look at the teams in this thread 

Macon loses 9 (5 Starters) Seniors Upperman 18 (9 Starters) Seniors

 

Macon Returns 14 Jr’s including a Mr Football candidate 

Upperman 10  Jr’s 3 or 4 starters

Which team should go 10-0 and which is staring 6-4 and barely making the playoffs next year? Logic says Macon should be better but it’s actually Upperman that will dominate the Region because they can reload their roster. Macon after next season will have 3 win seasons while Upperman will continue to compete for Championships. It’s not coaching that matters when you can just pick players off of other rosters. But I won’t post anything about this anymore

Upperman has 10 Jr’s, 15 Soph, and 16 Freshman on it’s roster 

Cookeville has 23 Jr’s, 31 Sophomores, and 15 Freshman BTW

I expect Upperman to have 18 or 19 Sr’s 25 Jr’s 

Wait and See

lol

Reading thru the board and at the end of the day both teams are 14-0. It Seems like upperman has been the underdog most of the playoffs but they find a way to win. PC kids know if the come out loafing Bexter will punch them in the mouth and it’s hard to stop that bleeding. Whos defense is going to step up?? 

I think this will be a much closer game than people think. I understand why people aren’t picking Upperman because they’ve never been here and are less proven. But I think Upperman will surprise some people with how physical they are up front and how committed to blocking and tackling they are

I like Upperman and have enjoyed keeping up with their run and I hate to say it but this Pearl team isn't Macon or Smith county they dont have any weaknesses or holes they have size and speed at every position. IMO which has been known to be wrong lol they cant keep Pearl out of the endzone with big splash plays if even they have some success running the ball trying to control clock. 35-14 Pearl hoisting the gold ball. 

Did you miss the game last week? We haven’t just played Macon or Smith County this year… This isn’t the Upperman you’re used to

Just my opinion Upperman showed great defence, time management and execution against Greeneville. The one area that Upperman may get beat is the deep ball and PC appears to be very good in this area. It could still turn out to be a good game. PC had trouble with the Mavs dual backs last year because of the balance passing game. Upperman had trouble with Greeneville deep ball. This is where the difference could be. Upperman did not show much against Greeneville in the passing department, either. I think 3 passes total offence. The PC QB is pretty good. 

I think PC overall has a 28-14 advantage. But who knows that's why we play the game. Should be a fun game and if Upperman makes adjustments this week, anything could happen.

Upperman hasn’t really had trouble with the deep ball until that game. I think they were too worried about Quillen

Maybe so but I’m saying the whole DB room is T/F state champs. The LBs run also.

Ours went to state as well

Years ago this would have scared me but playing MbA,CPA,WhiteHouse and station Camp twice who runs that ball control offense eases my nerves. The kids are prepared and they understand what they’re going against. Execution is the key one thing that upperman won’t be able to simulate is the speed and I’m just not talking offensive speed.

I think people underestimate Upperman’s team speed because of the offense they run. They were flying around against Greeneville.

In rounds 1 and 2 the Bees will be coasting over Yeast Fridge and the Cumberland County JV squad. It'll be slim pickings if you want a good game at first. Im predicting an Upperman win in the rematch with Bacon County in the quarterfinals and again in the semis against the Greeneville Greenie Weenies and for their efforts the Bees earn a trip to Flavortown in the big cook-off against the Nashville Hot Chickens. 

Spot on!

Kind of felt like PC had a chance at a State Championship all season. They've played great football this season.

Good Luck to both Upperman and Pearl Cohn! 

Who has the edge in your opinion BC?

It should be a fun one. I can’t wait to see your band. This is our first time in championship. Hopefully the lights aren’t too bright.

Lights haven’t been too bright yet, I don’t see that changing now

True but I’m glad we have 3 different type backs and let the upperman on the greeneville post we are known to lay down….

I assure you the team and coaching staff knows Pearl will not lay down. They will come prepared for a 4 quarter brawl

Why the Mavs don't get back to read option and pass too. Greeneville had trouble if you mix it up on the run. They played and concentrated on Moog and that is all they had to do and the done good at it. But when you mix it up Greeneville has trouble. Uppermans did not even pass or that game could have been over quick. I have to hand it to Upperman defense. I think however if Greeneville would have passed more they would have had a better chance. But one thing is pretty true when you get to this level you need a good pass game as speed and talent will get you. The 3 headed Monsters better wake up! 

Greeneville kid made a great play to get that opening drive interception. Without that play Upperman probably would’ve thrown the ball much more and it may have gotten ugly.

thinkin this has the feel of 2013

Booger just sayin 

That team had played no one before Alcoa. This team has played plenty of good teams

Just now, Khall555 said:

Read my edit.

 I’m going to say Greenville by a touchdown but Upperman certainly has a better chance than Macon would’ve. It’s the other side of the bracket that could be the problem for either team that wins. 

I would say it’s a toss up game. I really have no clue 

9 minutes ago, Khall555 said:

Maybe it wasn’t you, I am sorry dude!

FYI that was a hold it doesn’t matter who called it any time an O lineman tackles an D lineman it’s going to be called (watch the replay it was there) and the TD doesn’t happen if the flag isn’t on the ground. The Macon secondary was all pointing at it and just stopped running. They should have not done it but everyone knew it was coming back. 

Macon lost because they beat themselves with turnovers and couldn’t make a defensive stop when they needed to. Talent wise the 2 teams were even. They would probably get blown out at Greenville next week anyway. 

What do you think Upperman’s chances are?

2 minutes ago, Khall555 said:

Some do have respect but others don’t like @UCSportsFan that thinks they are “just better”

Even after Macon Students Collected and helped Baxter after the tornado in 2020. 

I promise you many in Baxter respect those schools as equal… being around the program I assure you that the players coaches parents etc know that Macon is no slouch in football. The same goes for when Macon is good in any other sport.

You are a powerhouse in Football, Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Volleyball, Baseball ect. While the rest of the schools in your county doesn’t seem to win at anything. Amazing how that works!! Macon has to have 20 years for the stars aligned perfectly to win at anything while you just load up every year in every sport. I have said all along it’s not cheating but it’s impossible for smaller counties to consistently compete with that advantage. Plus you don’t have any respect for schools like Macon, DeKalb, LA  and think they are beneath you. 

We do have respect for those schools. We’re also bitter rivals…. what do you expect?

I always thought you cheered against the big city private schools, what gives?

Comparing Upperman to big city private schools and saying we have 40 cookeville players is comical.

This is random speculation based on a one score game. Upperman may very well win the game. May win it handily. However, to say “They will not win in Baxter” implies some mythical stardust garnishes the sidelines at Baxter field. 

That’s Billy C Rodgers Stadium to you pal
