TACA - Toyota East vs West All-Star Classic

There is a Autozone-Liberty Bowl game but it is for Memphis players only. I would prefer it to be a West TN all-star game so I could go watch some local players. However, players from Henry Co., Milan, Camden, McKenzie etc. have to go to Johnson City & play in the TACA - Toyota East vs West All-Star Classic. I'm not knocking the game itself just the location. I think it would be fair to play it in the middle of the state or alternate between East TN & West TN each year.

 

Its seems to be about sponsorship when it comes to these events.

Its Jefferson City were they play not Johnson City....There is about a hour and a half difference. I understand what your saying about the location tho. Toyota is big in East TN like posted before so thats why they play it in East TN

 

 

 

Its only 330 miles one way to Jefferson City from where I live. Thanks for the info I was confused. Has anybody watched the West practice? I was wondering what they looked like and how everything is going?

Here is a link from the Greeneville paper were the West team is practicing if that will help any. The guy running the ball in the picture looks pretty huge. The Tusculum indoor is a really nice facility for a Division II school and this game helps with recruiting http://greenevillesun.com/story/299988

Way to go WEST!

 

Special Congrats going out to the boys from Henry County! WAY TO REPRESENT! Great job Dominique on the TD and Marsalis for the 51 yard run to set it up...and for adding more hardware to his trophy case with the West's Offensive MVP Award as well! ROLL RED ROLL!!!

 

other standout players that i can remember off the top of my head from the west:

 

Yazzie = tenacious!

Massengale: way to play tough, even when injured!

Cunningham = ferocious!

    • 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.
