The Farragut vs Bearden first annual alumni game is this saturday at 4pm at Farragut - tickets are $7 at the door and all money/donations raised will go toward a scholarship fund created in Brooke Culbreth's name. Brooke passed away last year and this game is to celebrate her life and her years of service to the boys soccer team. This should be an entertaining game and all of the money goes into her fund - coming out to watch would show tremendous support for Brooke's family, friends, and all of the players.

or have a list of players for each team or at least some of them

was it a good game? physical?

 

 

 

They tied 3-3. The game got pretty intense at times, Farragut was up 2-0 at one point. I dont have a list of players but I know there was about 31 alumni for Farragut and only 12 from Bearden, and they had to borrow Matt Blair (Oak Ridge Alumni) and another Alumni from Catholic. Good game though

The game was awesome and a great idea. Bearden had players like Elam in goal, Victor Upshaw, Tayloy Haney, Matt Blair, Todd Vincent, and some others i didn't know the name of but were good players..Farragut had a range of players, mostly from the 04-05 era. They also had Andrew Doyle, Jameson Rhiner, Michael Henson, Kyle Mottern, and Shaun Stinton (from a while ago) come back...it was an entertaining game and i was glad i could be apart of it....except for the fact that it felt like 36degrees outside and was raining the whole time...i hope next year has just as big...or a bigger turn out for both teams.

Even though the conditions were miserable we all had a good time. I'm glad I could be a part of the game and look forward to next year! Hopefully the weather is better next time, as I'm pretty sure more people would have come out if it was sunny.

    • 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.
