I've thought Campbell County had a chance to make some noise all along this season, but to beat Central by 26 last night is surprising. I know someone who went and I had to ask if maybe Mercer was resting kids since they clinched, and he said NO. This does not bode well for this district in the region tourney. Still a great season and turnaround for the Bobcats....

I saw the game and the intensity was not there for Central. CC is good and has a nice senior cast to lead them. I think Central will peak next year with 4 seniors from the starting 5. They showed more passion to play hard in the second half of Fulton game and the Halls game. I think CC under acheived this year in the regular district play because they were the co favoites with OR to take it. They have played like expected the past 3 weeks. I believe the game Monday will be close and the winner will play Oak Ridge for the tourney title. No one wants to finish 4th in the district tourney because Bearden would be next . A second or third place will get you Maryville and Farragut which gives both 2 and 3 seed an opportunity to get to the semis. Good luck Bobcats and all District 3 AAA in the region. How about Powell beating Karns? Anything is possible in HS Basketball.

Thats the reason it is tourney madness. Anything is possible. Powell girls beat Oak Ridge tonight and they had beaten PHS twice pretty handily. It is all about focus. Farragut seems to be fading along with LC. Maryville and Bearden are focused right now. No doubt those two teams are good bet to advance.

I am proud of the Bobcats. They are the underdogs at Maryville tonight. I agree with you turtle they have a chance====Bearden beat Maryville 25 points 5 days ago. So they are the region kings for sure. If Maryville wins over Central I think Oak Ridge will beat them this time. Maryville beat them 8 points about a month ago. 17 wins more in 08 than 09 and winning the district ---I congratulate the Bobcats!! West will be the team to be reckoned with next year as they are moving to District 4AAA. Central will be the favorite in 3AAA next year since no one graduates.

WELL THE BOBCATS GAVE IT ALL THEY HAD IN THE SECOND HALF VS. MARYVILLE. THE SLOW START REALLY HURT. THIS WILL BE A BUILDING STONE FOR NEXT YEAR. I BELIEVE THEY WILL BE NEAR THE TOP IN 3AAA AND BE BACK IN THE REGION NEXT YEAR. CONGRATS TO ALL OF THE TEAM AND COACHES FOR A GREAT SEASON.

I agree that Central has a lot to build on. I haven't gotten the new districts down yet but Central, Lenoir City, and West would be the teams I think have the most returning. Once Bearden gets their transfers in for the year, then they will probably be on the list also. Congrats to the coaching staff at Central on a great turn around year. I hope they all stay and build a great consistent program.

    • 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.
