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.

      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.
