Have to go with two "homer" picks here. Coach Roger Perry at Mt. Juliet in his second year has the Bears hitting on all cylinders now. Folks sometimes forget that Robert Hill the Senior starting QB has never played there until this year after moving over from wideout. The linebackers are solid with one of the best one-two punches in the state in Matt Jones and Caleb Knox and the D-Backs are picking up where they left off last year and are on pace to surpass the 18 picks last season. The team is bigger, stronger and faster and the weight room work is really showing this year.

 

Second, Wilson Central's Trey Aric has to be given serious consideration. Did anyone see this team at 6-0? If you prognosticated that, go to Vegas.

 

Still half the season to go and a lot of football yet to be played. This is high school, anything can happen.

Ken Netherland at St. George's is doing exactly what I thought he would do (and hoped he wouldn't!) when he came to St. G from Germantown. He's taking the Gryphons to the top of the DII small school ranks. In a few short years, he's put in his system and has a very good but not dominantly athletic team (unlike the St. G hoops team that has 2 high D1 players on it) and made them the class of the league so far. To put it more bluntly, they have some good talent but not so much to be THIS good. Great coaching job of taking your talent and using it to it's max.

 

They host SBEC this upcoming Friday night and Bishop Byrne in 4 weeks. Neither is likely to win but those are really the only obstacles left in a run to an undefeated regular season and likely run to a state championship. I honestly don't think SBEC has the defense nor does BB have the offense to beat the Gryphs.

 

...but our boys (SBEC) and coaching staff will give it everything they have to see if they can't pull one out. I'll also give props to SBEC coach Butch Veazey who has a squad, with an awful lot of juniors and sophomores and even a couple of frosh playing key roles, playing better than I ever thought they would. The upcoming 4 week stretch of St. G, Davidson, BB, and FACS will be a harrowing one, though.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
