Is there any reason why these girls aren't playing? Anderson County has a great women's athletic program and seemed to be LOADED with quality athletes. At OR all of the best athletes play basketball, and then maybe another sport. I assumed it was that way at most schools. Why would these players quit a team that won so many games last year. I thought they would be a lock to make it to the state tourney.

Other than Faith and her sister transferring, the only other reason I've heard for girls quitting and others not even trying out is due to the head coach. I dont know the coach but I did see them play for the District Championship last year when they lost to Loudon. They lost that game for one reason and one reason only, COACHING!!. There was no reason what so ever they should have lost, he gave that district championship away.

Who is their head coach? Did other people quit other than the Duprees? This really surprises me. Any info would be great.

 

Is there any reason whatsoever that you need this info except to make the coach look bad. This topic ran it's course on 4 or 5 different threads last season, and here we go again. AC has a strong group of sophomores and they are looking toward the future. There are also some solid freshman to go along with the girls that decided stick it out. They might struggle this season, but they will improve because they do have some of the better female athletes in East TN....

Never even looked at the old threads, have no idea what you are talking about. My initial comment was on the strength of girls basketball in the County, not just at Anderson County. Yes, I think Anderson County has GREAT female athletes, and if you read my post I though they would win their region. Your post just has made me more curious as to what happened to have all of these players leave.

    • 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.
