I thought we had a great board last year. What are everyones preason picks? I know they don't mean much, but it is fun to talk about. I would expect this district to be very even again. My preseason picks are

 

1. Claiborne- Nickel should (could) be player of the year in this district. Estes shoots

the lights out.

2. Cumberland Gap- Brim and Fultz will be tough to stop

3. Rutledge- Lost a lot but they played a lot of young kids last year. Hudsdon is a

Stud and Reischling will be tough

4. Gatlinburg- Lost 3 Key seniors, but played harder this summer than they have in 3

years. Could shock some people.

5. Pigeon Forge- Lost about 80% of last years offense. Graduated 5 seniors

(3 starters). Have a lot of inexperience but also could surprise

6. Union County- Could be a long year. Lost a lot off last years team and did not

look very good this summer.

 

I think Claiborne is the clear favorite with C.G at 2. Those two are probably a notch above everyone else. 3-5 Could go in any direction with those 3 teams probably being pretty equal. Those spots could come down to coaching in the end.

 

3 best players in the district are probably Nickel, Hudson, and Fultz. With Brim and Estes real close.

Claiborne will absolutely be tough to stop this season, and will be the team to beat in the district. Andrew Nickell is the real deal.

 

Cumberland Gap might be in a position to surprise some people after losing 4 of their key players from last year. If A.J. Fultz decides to dominate the middle this year, there will be few who can stop him..

Not the best start for the Panthers, but they have played some tough competition. They lost to Bradley Central 71-57 on Saturday 11/19, and to Campbell, GA 68-55 on Monday 11/21. The Bradley Central game doesn't have to count, so technically The Gap is 0-1 on the season.

 

Tyler Brim scored 21 & 23 respectively, after moving from the point to 2 guard this season. A.J. had 13 points in one game, and Taylor Lowe is coming along nicely on offense.

 

Joey McFall, Clay Bisceglia, Chris Warren, and Justin Owens will get their points pretty soon too. Owens transfered from Middlesboro, KY, and is in his 3rd varsity year.

 

I don't have any stats on Claiborne yet, but I understand that the Bulldogs are 2-0 to start the season. I took some pictures down there last Thursday, and the Bulldogs appear loose and ready to go. Nickell was playing Phi Slamma Jamma for the cameras.

    • 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.
