In the wake of tragedies involving students at the school, Chuckey-Doak elected to forfeit its Region 1 soccer semifinal match with Greeneville.

 

The match was scheduled for Tuesday, but the team did not feel it was the best time to play. The two schools considered moving the match to tonight, but upon further discussion, the Lady Knights voted to end their season.

 

"I talked to the girls, and we decided we didn't want to play," said Chuckey-Doak coach Anna Ricker. "We voted as a team, and it was unanimous. With the tragedies we've had, we just didn't want to play. We wish Greeneville the best."

 

With the win, Greeneville advances to Thursday night's region championship and Sub-State on Saturday.

 

Greeneville coach John Eiskamp said the Lady Devils hate to take a free pass rather than give Chuckey-Doak its chance to advance.

 

"Given the situation, I certainly understand," Eiskamp said. "Anna and I talked at length, and it was left up to her and her team. Our thoughts are with their team during this time of loss."

 

Tuesday's other semifinal between Elizabethton and University High was also postponed because of weather. That game will be played tonight.

 

The region final is set for Thursday, but there is some question about exactly who will host.

 

According to the TSSAA, the finalist from District 1 (Elizabethton or University High) will host the championship match. It was voted upon at the region coaches' preseason meeting and decided that the highest seeded team (Greeneville) will host.

    • 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.
