Bearden's Non Region Schedule is murderers row 8/19 @ West Defending 5A State Champions 8/25 @ Alcoa Defending 3A State Champions 9/1 Anderson County Defending 4A State Champions 10/13 @ Oak Ridge 10/20 Morristown West

They have won just as much as WB has.

Both teams are really good this year and it will be a dogfight. One thing that Bearden did last night to try and contain Caden Windle is to face guard him all game. It slowed him down, but I still think he ended up with 14 or 15 points. He is a great player and plays old school basketball....which I love!!! Karns can really get it up and down the court. Will be a fun matchup either way

Bearden upsets WB in OT and OR beats Karns by 4

What would happen if Karns wins District 3 tournament, but loses first round of Region? Would the Region then be hosted at Central, assuming that they win?

Is the Region Tournament scheduled for District 3 this year? If so, would it most likely be held at Oak Ridge?

HV was up by 2 points with about a minute to go in the 1st half and then hit back to back 3's (one at the buzzer) to go up by 8 at halftime. Bearden then walked out of the halftime locker room with about 5 seconds on the clock and didn't get a chance to warm up for the 2nd half. HV then proceeded to go on a 17 or 19 point run to start the 2nd half and that was all she wrote for the Bulldogs. Bearden is in danger of not advancing to the Regional Tournament for the first time in probably 30 years if they don't beat Maryville next Thursday night. They are a very young team, but this is very uncharacteristic of the Bulldogs that I am use to seeing.

Based on the stats provided at the award ceremony today, Dowdell had 2500+ rushing yards in the regular season vs Bishops 2300+. So unless my math is wrong, I am not sure that is 800 more rushing yards

Bishop didn't need to carry the ball as much this year as he did in 2021. Karns had a good QB that threw for 1264 yards and and 17 TD's. Desean didn't have to be the work horse for the offense like he did in 2021. He still average 214.5 yards and 3 TD's a game this season. It sucks that both were not able to get the award. Both are very deserving and were the MVP's of their teams.

Bishop had 34 total TD's this year..... 30 rushing, 3 receiving and 1 passing. So it is closer than one might think.

That aged well

100% brilliant. Why would that be a chickenstuff call?

100% accurate. Karns should have never been in that situation. The defense should have been in cover 2 or cover 3 on that last drive. Great game by both teams. Carter players showed alot of class at the end. Carter’s QB is the best high school QB I’ve seen in years. Dude is an absolute stud and should do well the rest of the season and in college. Carter fans and administrator were great. Very impressive by their program.

This is after the Carter coach showed his #### for 5 minutes. Makes sense

Devin and Thomas Harper were the other great Karns players that I can recall in recent history.

That just made me laugh.

i think he will do just fine. I agree, hard time to hire a new coach right before the season starts. Farragut lost alot of talent from their team last year. Will be an interesting year to say the least. District 4-AAA is wide open

JP Burris

Did I say that no one has ever done it?

Bearden's coach has taken two teams to State.....Cherokee and Bearden

My bad. I just thought you assured it wasn’t gonna be a walk through for Bearden. Makes sense

22 point victory is a good walk through

exactly. I am hoping they just don't lay an egg like they did in the first round last year. This team was fun to watch during the season and if they play to their potential, they will be hard to beat. Burgess coming this year was HUGE

I 100% stand by this statement you made. The rule has been in place for years. I bet most people complaining about this rule would have no issue with it, if the rule was applied to any other team. As bad as it sucks, coaches and players are aware of this rule. People can complain all they want to, but it clearly states not only in the TSSAA handbook, but also in the NFHS rulebook as well. This rule would and should be applied to games in November just as much as in March.

This will be a fun game tommorrow night at Farragut. I believe they will have 3 Varsity players and the rest JV.
