I don't really look at who is in what order but who they put there. Hampton????? I know there are 10 other teams in 1A better than them, they just have to come off of the mountain to figure it out..... Also lookout Valley????? yeah right another mountain team.....let them move west of cookeville and see what happens....maybe a little above .500 and that is about it....maybe a 4 seed in the playoffs and that is about it.....

 

These teams in no order are my top ten....

 

Mckinzie

Jo Byrns

Cascade

Collinwood

South Pitt

MP

Trousdale

Gordonsville

WHH

TCA

Those are the real top 10.....the east in 1a just gets to hang around until the semis.....must be nice to play within yourselfs and meet up one game away from the state title.....to bad it will not happen again this year....

 

 

 

 

 

I believe it was Hampton who has been playing in the state semis the past two years while your team was sitting at the house.

seeing how Hampton has finished top 4 last 2 years and undefeated this year, i'd say it's about right.

Ok ive been out of the single A talk for a while, but I really thought the Green Waves from Midway should be in the top ten? Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

 

I'll correct you.

 

Midway is 7-1, but with no history from the past few years like South Pitt, Jo Byrns... ect. Also, they are from a region that has been weak in the past few years. They may be one of the top ten teams in state, but you gotta remember that polls are popularity contests. Midway may be good but East tennessee is viewed as weaker than middle and west, no matter how true that may be. If you want to get attention or any kind of recognition you need to make the semi's a time or two and then be undefeated.

 

Look at Hampton, if any other team had made back to back semi-final appearances and was currently undefeated they would be #1 in everyone's poll, but because there isn't as much press about east tennessee and the press everywhere else percieves them as weak, they range anywhere from first to tenth.

It also took a couple of years for Hampton to be recognized, People don't really know much about Midway.All any team out there has to do is keep winning and the ratings will hit the ceiling.

    • 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.
