Dobyns-Bennett completes the season sweep of the Hilltoppers with a 64-59 victory on a Todd Halvorsen 3 pointer with 3 seconds left in the game. DB was up by as much as 18 points in the first half but got complacent at the time when Science Hill was turning up their pressure. This has got to the 1st time one team has beaten Science Hill 4 times in one season, but the Indians got it done.

 

With the win, DB goes undefeated against ALL Big 9 teams throughout the entire season. They won the Conference Championship, District tournament Championship, and Region tournament Championship. How's that for a season?

 

On a side note, it was good to see that the Northeast Tennessee refs did not fail to disappoint in one of their last games of the season throwing out another spectator. I realize that refereeing is not a desireable job by most, but can the TSSAA not find anyone better than this?

 

 

I only got to listen to the first half, how did DB win bt 5 if they won it on a Todd Halversen 3 pointer with 3 seconds left?

 

DB still can't put a complete game together. They were taking it to the Toppers in the first half, then just stopped playing. I don't get it. But they did win. Beating Science Hill 4 times in one season is a major deal. I don't think anyone has ever done that. Probably is rare that two teams even play each other 4 times. Did anybody see Gilligan at the game? I heard he was driving the "Topper Short Buss"

 

If the Indians don't put a complete game together against Bearden it could get ugly.

Halvorsen hit the 3 with 3.2 seconds on the clock. Science Hill called a timeout and immediately following the timeout Gray threw the ball away trying to get it to Odem. The ball was then inbounded to Sylvester who knocked down 2 free throws for the 5 pt win. I guess technically they did not win on Halvorsen's 3 pointer, but it was the shot that put the nail in the coffin.

 

I agree with your assessment for Monday's game. Bearden is a very good team that will hand it to DB if they do not play with more intensity than they have shown ALL year, and keep that intensity up for 32 minutes.

I thought about starting a separate thread about this, and I still might, but.....I have really learned this year that apparently it must be the parents that keep Coacht rolling. Here's what I mean; not two years ago, between D-B football, hoops, and baseball, this board was flooded. I've noticed all winter that despite our basketball team steam rolling everyone, the traffic here has been minimal. It was the same with football. One would have thought that after embarrassing Gilligan, the board would have been full of the D-B faithful forcing crow over that way (again). However, it must be cycles of different parents that make Coacht click. Some apparently are very computer active and some apparently are not. It's amazing that we just whipped our rival for the 4th time this year and there's virtually nothing said about it. Now if the shoe was on the other foot......

I agree that DB can't close out games. They were up by 18 LATE in the 2nd qtr and should have been able to cruise from there. Quick shots, poor defense, can't take the last shot of a quarter twice (2nd, 3rd), not hitting consistantly from outside, missed several "chippies". They played like they were behind by 18 instead of in front. But give Science Hill credit for not mailing it in. I think they could give Oak Ridge a run for there money both playing the up and down game.

 

It is rare even for DB/The Hill to hook up 4 times much less either team sweep. I think they met 5 times in the 92-93 season with DB winning all the matchups with one being in the Arby's. That was the JaMichael Mills team that was #1 in the state and rolled into Murfreesboro...only to go one and done. Skunk can verify/correct that I'm sure but I'm pretty sure they played 5 times that year.

 

Bearden will be a tough challenge no doubt. DB hasn't been able to play interior defense lately without getting into serious foul trouble as evidenced by Science Hill going to the line 92 times in there 4 meetings this season. WOW! That can't bode well when Bearden I'm sure will rely on there 6-9, 260lb post man.

maroonandgrey,

D-B did play Science Hill five (5) times in '92-93...but D-B only won four (4) of those games...lost the first one at home and then won the next four on the way to an Arby's championship, regular season championship, district tournament championship, and regional tournament championship (won that one by 30+ @ Freedom Hall)...lost to Memphis Fairley (an undefeated team) in the quarterfinals of the state...talked with Coach Shipley today and he remembered that we had gone 3-1 against Science Hill in '91-92; losing in the regional finals...we lost to Brainerd in the state semis after JaMichael had broken his arm...

This years D-B team is the first to win the regular season title, district tournament title, and regional tournament title in the same year since Shipley's '92-93 team...

D-B has had six(6) seasons with a regular season, district, & regional championship since Coach Van Huss came to Dobyns-Bennett:

 

 

year record final game coach

 

69-70 32-6 state semis Coach Van Huss

71-72 38-3 3rd place/state Coach Van Huss

74-75 34-3 state semis Coach Van Huss

80-81 36-1 state quarters Coach Van Huss

92-93 35-2 state quarters Coach Shipley

07-08 29-3 ??????? Coach Morgan

 

92-93 also won the Arby's championship.

 

This is Coach Morgan's 5th trip to the substate/sectionals in his eight years at D-B...beat Farragut in 02-03; beat Bearden in 03-04; lost to Bearden in 05-06; lost to Powell in 06-07...both the wins were played in the Buck Van Huss Dome and both the losses were played on the road...Marshall Hardy's uncle, Mark Elliott, was the starting point guard for the 74-75 team, it was Marko's junior year...

I thought somewhere in there DB played in the final against Gallatin for the State Championship. Skip Brown and company?

 

 

 

WaCo,

They did, that was in 72-73, but they were second in the Big 9 (as well as second in the state) and there have been many other trips to the state tournament during this period of time, but these are the only regular season, district tournament, and regional tournament champs...the others have lost the district or regional or not won the conference and still made it to the state...

    • 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.
