It seems nobody wants to play the giant, only compounding our problems.

 

 

If D-B and Morristown West played in Morristown, the crowd would have to get there at 5:30 because the Indian band would take up the entire visitor's stands. That band is amazing. 400-plus is outstanding. I would personally love to see the mathcup because I would like to personally attend a game and see the Tribe Nation and the band and the atmosphere at D-B.

Morristown West could be in play if they are unable to get the games they want. From my understanding, West will be in a conference next with Jefferson County, Sevier County, Seymour, Cocke County, Cherokee and Morristown East. Greeneville is yet to decide whether they will play up because they will surely be placed in 4A, but they could play up to 5A. If they do, they will be in the conference with the rest of these, but I've been told that Greeneville will come off the West schedule if they are not part of the conference due to the wild card playoff deal.

 

 

 

 

No offense, but outside of a few of those schools that would be an awful conference. Seymour? Cocke? Cherokee? Those teams aren't even competitive in the smaller classifications where they reside now. With us being "strong armed" in to playing bottom feeders like these and only one other (6A)5A school in the region we will have to schedule the NFC East just to qualify for the playoffs. By the way, hope the gas savings are worth it because some of those gates won't pay the water bill to flush the urinals. Thanks T$$AA for trying your best to kill HS football.

I agree completely with what you are saying there SCBear. Cocke County and Seymour are not good additions to the conference, but we're stuck because of where we are located. Don't sleep on Cherokee though. They are a young team this year, and they will be pretty good next year. Most of their starters this season are sophomores and juniors. But for Sevier County, if you guys play well in the conference and take care of business against Jeff County, you should be in no problem.

OK.....HERE WE GO AGAIN..........

 

No, that would mean your on your way back to Kingsport after another beat down. Much like the one that DB gave you in 2006.

 

DB - 44

 

South - 0

 

 

Enjoy it while you can Jack. Hey, this could FINALLY be the year for the Mighty Indians you think? You better advance while you can this year, because the east TN 4A playoff roadblock (better known as Maryville) will be heading to a stadium near you soon. Then you can forget about it.

No offense taken but if I am reading the changes right, then at least one of you (Sevier or Jeff) automatically qualify for the 6A playoffs each year anyway since there are only two of you in the district. Also, if both 6A teams finish 1st and 2nd in the district, then both are automatically qualified for the playoffs. That appears to me to be a lot better opportunity than the 5A teams will have in district 2.

Thats correct, the winner of the Jeff County/Sevier Co game will automatically make the playoffs starting next year. Personally I don't like it, but thats the TSSAA for you

If I understand the likely reclassifications, the Indians must play:

 

THS

South

Science Hill

Boone

Crockett

Volunteer

others ?

 

Certainly, Betsy will drop as they and North are big beneficiaries of the reclassification.

 

I would assume D-B would want to keep Sevier Co, Jeff Co, and OR. That would give them one big out of conference game. But I would not preclude the Indians scheduling other closer teams like M-East, M-West, or

G'ville. Also Halls might be an option. In this, as in a lot of things, the band will probably decide.

 

 

Using the enrollment numbers curently shown on the TSSAA's web site, District 1 may look like this:

6A - Sci Hill, D-B, & Crockett

5A - Boone, Tennessee, Volunteer, S South, S Central, & S East

 

If that holds true, then each D1 school will have to play eight district games....that just leaves 2 openings for non-district play. That seriously reduces options to continue traditional rivalries. If the intent of all this is to reduce travel expense then a lot of those slots may be filled by teams from District 2:

6A - Jeff Co & Sevier County

5A - M East, M West, Cherokee, Cocke County, Seymour, & Greeneville (probable to play up).

 

I do not know if this has been mentioned yet but one outcome of the changes due next year may be schools deciding to move up a tier because the chances of qualifying for a playoff spot may be greater than the tier in which they are placed. District 2 would be a prime example of this if one of the 5A-to-be schools moved up to 6A; the chances of making the playoffs would be better against 2 teams than 5 although, by stepping up, the level of competition (D-B, O Ridge, etc.) rises as well.

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      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.
