1st off, Cookeville is a 3 time defending 5A region champ and they are favored to probably win it again this year.

Coach Joslin is a very good coach. His teams play a hard, tough style of ball. The QB they have is a pretty good passer and they will throw maybe more than they have in the past. They usually have a big, physical team, but they may have lost some of those kids to graduation.

 

I think Central will surprise them with the speed and aggresive style that the Cats play on D. I would feel more confident if Central had everyone healthy, but it is more important to have those players ready for the region games.

If Central can run the ball effectively, I like the Bobcats chances in this one. If they can't, this one will be a nail biter. I think the Cats can win this one by 14.

 

Would like to hear from the Cavs fans on this. Good luck to you guys.

So much unknown...

 

Being a CAVS alumni I'm set to predict a CAVS win,BUT...

 

Central is a perinnialy tough 4-A team that battles Maryville every year for that division & for the STATE!

 

This is a TOUGH week zero game for both teams!

 

Won't be able to make it due to my job but I hope the CAVS can pull a victory!

Cookeville's offense has tons of weapons this year with two solid running backs that can give you different things. the quarterback has a year under his belt now and is looking sharp. they have a couple of talented recievers and their defense is loaded with seniors and experience. I don't know too much about Knoxville central but i heard they had their best corner get injured any truth to that? two solid always good teams equal a great week 0 matchup and i'll be ther to watch it i have to give the edge to my cavs

It looks like one of our injured receivers will be back for the game. Our starting safety/WR is still questionable. Given this, I feel better about the game.

 

For you Cavs fans, come early and grab some dinner at Litton's Market. It is just up the street from Central and they have the best burgers and deserts in the Knoxville area. Come early because it is usually packed. Be safe driving.

I'm really anxious to see what happens in this one... seems like the Cookeville fans get a little antsy around the beginning of the playoffs every year and start showing up on Maryville threads talking some smack. I've not had the chance to see Cookeville, so I think this should be a pretty good barometer of where they really are since Central is one of the best 4A programs in the state.

 

Given my East TN bias, I'll take Central by 10.

papa chaos.

I am afflicted with the same bias; however, Cookeville has a good bunch this year. Central may find the going tough.

ruse?

    • 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.
