  1. I’d hope, should’ve never spoke up just to look silly.
  2. I could name 1, but he’s going to Catholic. Not Bearden.
  3. He’s fine with it, can comfortably say, I’ve seen other coach’s do more. Much more. And he wasn’t coaching them, he was talking with his son, should’ve have been back there either way, but definitely not coaching them.
  4. During season I don’t think you can do anything with them, but this was after the season was over and the final game was played.
  5. That’s what I love about Coach Josh Jones. despite being absolutely hated on this website. He is genuinely involved in the community, especially with the youth teams. The 8th-grade Bearden Boys middle school football team recently won the MAC Championship, which is a league for middle school teams, and he threw a huge party for them out of his own pocket. He attends every game, shows up for every practice, and engages with parents to connect them with camps that can help their kids improve their skills. He goes above and beyond, supplying jerseys, creating fundraisers for new helmets, and he lets them practice and play on the high school field, which, in years past, hasn’t been allowed, especially for practice. It's not just the middle school team, he also supports the youth tackle and flag football teams. They used to practice in various locations and have games scattered around, but he changed that. Now, they can use the facilities at Bearden High School for both practices and games. Coach Jones utilizes his connections with NFL players he knows from coaching youth football to bring them in for talks, giving the players a chance to meet stars like Amari Rogers and Tee Higgins. The kids love it, but some people on the website like to claim it’s recruiting, which just isn’t true. The kids simply love playing for him and having him as a coach because he really is like a second father to them. And unfortunately, for many of these players, he’s the closest thing they have to a father figure. He also connects them with camps where college coaches start recognizing them, helping to get them on the path to being recruited. If they want to call that recruiting, then fine—don’t hate the player, hate the game. Additionally, for the MAC team, he’s been trying to get the gold balls from the championships that the teams won in 2019, 2021, and 2024 into the high school facilities so that all the youth kids can pass by and see them every single day. That visibility will encourage them to strive for greatness. Maybe other coaches should get off their behinds and start doing what he’s doing, which is practically being down at the high school football field every day, all day.
  6. Bearden is definitely far from healthy, but probably the healthiest we’ve been all season. Our offense, of course, was beaten and bruised all season. Last week, when we got all of our targets back, you saw what happened. Unfortunately, it’s likely we will miss our best WR and probably our best playmaker. However, at least we have our RB duo back. On defense, our starting LB and D1 committed safety are out and will probably be for the entire season, but I have to give credit where credit is due. That defense has put the next man up, the backup safety, who is now the starting safety, is currently the leading tackler on the team. The second-string linebacker, who is now the starting linebacker and was supposed to play running back, is one of the best sophomores in the city. I think the game will be close, with a predicted score of 34-24 in favor of Bearden. Unless something changes and the WR plays—which I don’t think he will because he collapsed last game—I think it’s going to be a slippery slope. He’s one of the best playmakers on the team, especially on special teams, averaging 13 yards after a catch. We just can’t miss him. I hope he plays, but if he doesn’t, I’m not sure how the offense is going to look.
  7. First round recap Thursday Bearden beat Jefferson County (49-14) Friday Dobyns-Bennett beat Farragut (42-24) Science Hill beat Cleveland (30-28) Maryville beat William Blount (49-24) Second round (Friday, November 15) Dobyns-Bennett vs. Bearden Maryville vs. Science Hill
  8. Gimme Farragut, Knoxville teams always win in the playoffs up there. also, is this game streaming anywhere?
  9. End of the first Bearden 21 Jeff Co. 7 Bearden’s QB has been hitting on all cylinders. It looks like he is finally healthy from the Maryville incident.
  10. Well who ever wins gets an extra day of practice
  11. Just like last year's game, just the field is swapped. Last year, the Dawgs walked into Jeff Co on Rivalry Thursday and walked out the victors, winning in a shootout 23-20.
  12. Thursday #3 Jefferson County at #2 Bearden Friday #4 Farragut at #1 Dobyns-Bennett #3 Cleveland at #2 Science Hill #4 William Blount at #1 Maryville
