Elizabethton will play Happy Valley, but they won't play Unaka... What a joke. :lol:

 

 

Sorry Book but it makes no sense to play A schools. It is a lose-lose situation. If you win, you should have because it is a much smaller school. If you lose, well.......you just got beat by an A school. I see your problem with that clearly because I played at a class A school. But, it just isn't in the cards. Maybe the Rangers can beat Betsy on the baseball field where they are matched up in a tournament??

 

HV is a long standing on again-off again rivalry but I do disagree with dropping Greeneville to pick them up, if that's the case. It's 'closed house' down there with football, especially with me??, so I really don't know anything else. I did hate to see Coach Cal leave but the upcoming QBs will pay the price for that. The guy really knew his stuff and was a great teacher of that position and others on offense. Probably should have had the O coordinator job.

 

On top of everything, I would strongly suggest Betsy move to AAA where they belong. With some phone calls and footwork, a conference could probalby be put together so the travel wouldn't be sooo bad. ?

I have to agree with GLee. Why in the world would Elizabethton, Greeneville, Sullivan North, Unicoi Co., and probably two more not move down to 3A ball to compete. They have enough to move into their won region. Yes they might have to travel one or two games, but only a couple of times every other year. I was hoping to see my nephew play in a couple of years, and hoping one of the Knoxville teams would play them in a non-region game, or even the playoffs. As long as they are in 4A it aint gonna happen. Even at the helm of Elizabethton football in the 90's they would match up with some of the Knoxville teams in the playoffs. Right now they are lucky to even make the playoffs. If they were in 3A they would be a pretty safe bet. At least until the Playoffs started. It is much better to be 8-2 or 7-3 and get beat the first round of the playoffs than to be 3-7, 4-6, or 5-5. I know they made the playoffs last year with a 5-5 record. Imagine how many kids would come out to play football if they knew they could win 7 or 8 ballgames a year. Just like I argued in the Greeneville thread. Why would you elect to play up against teams with 500 to 1000 more kids than you. Those teams will look down on you and always will until you beat them consistently. In that case why does Carson-Newman and UT play( just being silly) it is a similar situation. Sure it would take all the 3A population status teams in upper East TN to go in together to make it work, but how much better would it be. Much better. That is if you want to win.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
