Spring practice starts today- perfect timing for Maryville

And since he is enrolled at Webb right now, under the current TSSAA rules, how would he manage to play for Bearden in the fall? I don't know the rules exactly but pretty sure there are rules in place that would prevent him from transferring based on private school and distance.

Field looks great. The grass field was in top notch shape

Oridgecat called it, way before news broke on it. Smart man, well done

Bradley DE #25 is a freshman, pretty impressed with his play in 2 games vs Maryville. BC had a good returning team before QB and Boo joined. QB was a game changer for the offense and Boo is best in TN. Tito Williams should be defensive MVP of that team, not sure why TN passed on him but TN picked up and got the CB last spring. He is good but hard to notice when Williams and Boo are making plays. Forest Middle school team was good this year, beat Maryville in OT. And they were good previous year with Maryville edging them out in conf championship. Def some good players in pipeline at Bradley County. Anxious to see if someone between CLE, BC and WV decide to pull some NIL $ together and recreate the Bearden model, pull the counties best kids together for 1 team.

Blue Raiders in a close one. Tough draw for a decent Jeff Co team.

West Ridge doesn't score. Running clock entire 2H. Bradley wins 42-0

Cleveland being a 4 seed playing Jeff Co, tough draw for the Patriots. Upset alert.

Cleveland RB's accounted for 62 yards against Maryville last week. Not sure his impact at CHS is meaningful.

Being a Maryville fan, you should probably consider that if Cleveland wins (and wins the following week vs Hardin Valley), and Maryville loses to Farragut, (and also Farragut beats HV this week), then Maryville does not make the playoffs. In this ridiculous scenario- Cleveland and Farragut would likely be the 3 & 4 seed. Ridiculous because Bradley should win by 10+ and very unlikely Maryville would lose to Farragut. Not even sure Farragut can beat HV this year.

Hard to think fire ants could penetrate through the turf field they have had for many years

TSSAA needs to focus more on training the officials on what targeting is. I've never seen it called. Who cares about covering your knees- them knee pads will do nothing to prevent anything other than a slight bruise.

Story on the street is 93 was the only number available when he returned to the team this summer. The young chap wore 21 in spring practice, but decided the pasture was greener across town and left the team. That must have not worked out and was back on team late summer, a couple weeks before practice started. Get a program at a game, you won't see him in the program except for the roster, no pictures or profile like all other soph's get.
