Knoxville Catholic @ Morristown West

Catholic looks like one of the more notable underachievers of the year. Sure they moved up but going from state champs to 5-5 is a pretty long fall - especially losing to Heritage. You have to consider the how great the effect of the coaching change has been. I say Mo West wins this one.

 

But maybe by next year those guys Coach Morris recruited away from Karns will make a difference? :lol:

With all the returning starters Karns could easily be at least a 5-5 team next year. Except that at Catholic they have to pay for school and study catholicism, what would the difference be between those guys who left Karns playing one place or the other? The QB who left would most likely have been the Karns starter next year. Will he be on the field or on the JV team at Catholic?

Who knows. The QB position should be wide open at Catholic next year. Great Upcoming freshmen QB that could possibly compete for the starting job.

I'll be the first to say Heritage is a better team than most of the teams Pemberton had on his shedule last year. Scott Co., Stone Mem., Apple turnover Co. (Anderson Co.) to just name a few. Pemberton was the master of scheduling. I would say unrealistic expectations by some

I guess AC, AE, Fulton, Kingston, Mo west and all the playoff teams were all pushovers. I was a fan of KC when Pemberton was there (a good old Roane Co guy)

i don't know after having seen these play that I would rate Heritage above Scott County and certainly not AC, Stone agreed. Don't blame all the scheduling on Pemberton. Many around have wanted no part of the Irish for the past few years.

Heritage has been knocking heads in one the best 5A Regions for the past few years. They had a bad record but they were playing against some very good teams in Ooltewah, Farragut, OR, WB (they had a pretty good run till the last 2 years). The new coach finally put his only D-1 player on offense for the Catholic game. If he would have done this all year they might be 5-5 or better. If I was the Catholic coach I'd tell my team we are finally getting some relief in the playoffs. (I don't know if they are, but that is what I would tell them.)

    • 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.
