Greenback in a walk. The rest of the teams are very, very even. Look for Sunbright, Oakdale, Oneida, Coalfield, Midway, and even CAK to be in dog-fights Friday after Friday. It has the makings of a great fall season for Region 2. However it really looks like in the near future CAK will be the one to beat in Region 2 1A. With the hiring of former Bearden coach Bill Young and a couple of his assistants it appears CAK is serious about joining the exclusive club of private schools who are willing to pay any price necessary to buy a winning football team. You read it here first. I support the public schools plight, but I can see the writing on the wall after various conversations with CAK supporters about the amount of money being spent on everything from their facilities to hiring UT Strength coaches this past off-season. I also remember in fall of '94 when Boyd Buchanan was 0-10, then went 10-0 the following season. And how long ago was it again that this years defending state champion Ezell-Harding had a losing football program? Oh yeah, just a couple of years ago, what was I thinking. It sure would be the dream of all the Region 2 1A coaches to be able to spend money like it was no object and simply go out and get the players you need to build a championship program. Money? No problem, remember work study. (Shhhh)

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
