Bearden bears? The middle school…

He’s going back to Webb, where he was his freshman, before transferring to Brentwood Academy this past season.

8/22: Powell at Anderson County 9/12: Greeneville at Alcoa 9/26: Grace Christian at Lakeway Christian 10/3: Maryville at Bearden this is just what they have released so far more to come.

And it begins… people on this thread, are about to lose their mind.

I didn’t mean pays for it, I meant sponsors for it by letting them use their field, facilities, equipment, etc.

CBMS* Cedar Bluff Middle School, it auto corrected for some reason.

Yeah, no duh, the six grade 7th and eighth grade team have been great for years, especially the past couple of years, i’m just saying that the players on those teams never end up at Austin East high school, and with the right person who can stop the youth portal Austin East will be back to glory.

And as well most of the Bearden middle school kids whom are zoned for West play middle school football for West, MAC West rebels.

OK, I know you don’t know what you’re talking about, but there is no football program at West Valley or CBMS, so they play at Bearden Middle because Bearden High pays for it, and in fact, CBMS and West Valley make up the majority of the football team, so when I say “Bearden Middle," I mean the football team that has players from West Valley and CBMS. So yes, mainly all the kids go to Greer middle or zone for West only a little bit or zone, but I’m talking about the football team, which has players from West Valley and CBMS.

Bearden middle…?

Well, the first thing you have to do when anyone takes this job is build up your youth, so Aloca and Knoxville Catholic can stop taking all the youth players like they’ve been doing for a while, absolutely draining Austin East along with other schools. Once you get past the youth, then you have to get up to middle school and stop your players from going to Powell, Bearden, West, and Central for some reason, along with other schools; however, I don’t think that will ever stop unless they can find a really good coach. I mean, Coach Jones from Bearden can’t even stop his middle school from getting drained out from schools like Catholic West and Alcoa. although he has really made a difference.

Most are from West Valley, and a few are from Bearden Middle, but mainly West Valley, they have been dominant in basketball for years.

No he went to Farragut.

The varsity team will be good as always, but I recently started going to the Bearden junior varsity games, and the size difference is crazy, as is the speed they play at, which is full speed. It honestly looks like a varsity team is out there playing against a junior varsity team. And none of the players that play on the JV team are on the varsity roster, which is even more crazy, but I guess that’s how you make a powerhouse start with junior varsity and freshman and work them up to varsity. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life, and for the freshmen team, the difference is ridiculous, just the speed and size at which they play vs their opponents. I went to the Karns JV game, and the Bearden point guard was almost, if not bigger, than the Karns center. Now, I’m sure that’s nothing new for the Bearden fans or the basketball team, but I’ve been to numerous freshman and junior varsity games, and I’ve never seen a size difference and just the flat out display of power like the freshman and JV team diss out every game. Even when I was going there many, many years ago, there was kind of a size difference and a speed difference, which I guess thinking back now. The junior varsity team was undefeated for all four years while I was there, so I guess I kind of remember, but it was definitely nothing like what the teams are nowadays.

Would be interesting.

Great guy, great hire.

Before social media how old is this website??? Thought it was made like 2006 or something… when I think of before social media I think anything under 1997 give or take.

40+ you are old, 50+ you getting up there, 60+ Your knocking on the door, 70+ You’re just blessed to be alive at that point.

How was nam? I kind, I Kind… maybe.

Baylor doesn’t need a QB, they have Briggs Cherry and Jared Curtis, which I guess is who you’re talking about. I'm pretty sure he’s heading to East Tennessee.

These refs really try to make the quarterbacks day much worse.

Refs sold, he definitely got the 2, but anyway, good job, Firebirds!

True

Oh yes, how could I forget? always used to love watching me watch a good Maryville and Oakland matchup, but more than likely that is done. I don’t what Maryville is going to do now without their main bloodline anymore. You’ve already seen how the Maryville fans on this website feel about it. Now imagine what the coaching staff is having to go through. The power of Josh Jones.

And what is that? Coach Jones?
