If these Sullivan Co. schools are so bad they get beat by 1A schools does that mean the BIG Science Hill victory over Sully Central is an overstated patsy win?

It isn't very fair to lump all the Sullivan County schools together, as you did. As I have seen, for this season one of the Sullivan County 4A schools is pretty good, one is fair, two may struggle in 2005. Sullivan East had a fantastic year last season. They even ran it up on a few teams for the first time in school history. A fun year for their fans indeed. But, traditionally Sullivan East has been the doormat of the conference and NETN 4A. That doesn't mean they can't change the trend. They have had the perfect opportunity to get kids excited to build off of the 2004 success and start something new and lasting in Bluff City. Many do believe a great deal of the 2004 success can be traced soley to their QB who graduated and the offense geared around his strengths. I guess this an opportunity to see what kind of coach 'ole Coach Ralphie-boy really is. :angry:

 

As far as the Science Hill victory over Sullivan Central goes, I'm told Central should of scored a couple of times. Even so, the score still would have been lopsided. Someone stated the time of possesion margin may have tipped in the Cougars favor. That just means the Toppers were scoring fast. My best guess is the Toppers are better than many give them pre-season credit for and could possibly upset the perennial Big East (5A) top teams. At the same time, Coach Hooks' Cougars seem to be heading into another struggling season.

 

Good Luck Patriots, Cougars, and Toppers

Well, Cloudland is no longer the measuring stick. For about three years they were the measuring stick when they had Mark Byrd, Dakota Benfield, Dane Christman, and Mike Lunsford, but now that Byrd and Company are gone, so are the highlanders.

My friend, Redwalloutcast, if the highlanders are gone, then how are we still putting up W's here in Roan Mountain. Sure, we may not put up 50 points a game anymore, but a W is a W my friend. Once a winner, always a winner. People come and go, but diamonds are forever and so is Cloudland football. Mike Lunsford is gone. Maybe he thought he had become bigger than the program and deserved to have all these athletes around him, but he will find out what its like to be on the opposite sidelines at Orr field just like all the other victims of the past. No matter who's wearing that blue and gold jersey, to be a part of Cloudland football is special. Its being part of a winning tradition. thumb

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
