Leslie McDonald very impressive in today's win. Super efficient and had great throwdown on the baseline to boot. Drew Barham is a MM or maybe better D-1 player, 6'6 can shoot lights out and scored off the dribble as well. Not super quick but very long and can really stroke it. Gary Pope battled all night scoring close to 30, mostly on post moves.

 

CBHS has beaten Briarcrest 2/3....what will happen tomorrow? Briarcrest has pure talent advantage with McDonald, Wooten, Lee and Williams, but CBHS is extremely solid with a lot of solid players. The PG Martin is underrated. Good player.

Briarcrest will defeat CBHS tomorrow by 4-8 pts, and win the D2 State Championship.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

I attended two of the three meetings (they split those) between these two teams. Either team could just have easily won both of those games. CBHS has the better perimeter game, but BCHS has the edge in transition, and a huge advantage in the paint. The difference in those games was clear and simple: When BCHS consistently utilized its big man, it won; When BCHS stopped going to its big man, CBHS won.

 

CBHS has deadly 3-point shooters, but has absolutely NO ANSWER for BCHS' big man. None!

Of course, Mr. Leslie McDonald will get his points. He's not THE key to a BCHS victory, though, believe it or not.

 

Since this game is for all the "marbles," I strongly suspect that Briarcrest's coach will make it a priority to get his big man the ball, early and often! As such, BCHS should pull out the biggest, most important victory over its arch rival, CBHS, in another exciting nail-biter.

      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.
