Final varsity score was 3-1 and the special teams were even with DB blocking 2 punts and Central blocking 1 and recovering a muffed punt...DB was held in check in their run game for most of the varsity scrimmage but threw the ball really well...could be a good year for both squads and there was some really good hitting in the scrimmage...I would say that Sensabaugh and Saah(chs MLB) are sore today...they smacked each other all night! Good film for both teams and Central needs to work on passing...and DB had several fumbles!

I haven't seen anything posted on this yet but I heard over the weekend that there's been a coaching change at Sevier. St. Clair is no longer there. I don't know if there has also been a change at Robinson but hear there is a new coach there. Don't know if it head coach though. Also G. Clark is supposed to have more direct say in whats going on with the middle school football programs. Something that I have heard thats been "blocked" in the past. This is something that most "real" DB fans have been wishing for for a long time now. Also heard that Clark has no plans to retire or leave DB football anytime soon. This and whats now taking place in the youth leagues is very good news for the future of DB football. Things are looking up for sure.

Unless there was a coaching change today at Robinson, there is nothing to report. My son is practicing with the 7th grade team as we speak and he said nothing about a change. I have a great deal of respect for Coach Jeff Frye. He is a man who lives his faith and is a great role model for his athletes. But I guess I'll find out when I pick him up at 5:30.

Just to make it clear. I was told there was a new coach at Robinson, not that there was a new head coach. I was told in the same conversation that there is a new head coach at Sevier. The big deal here is that Clark will have input at the middle school level. Something that we need.

It's true, St.Claire is gone. Thanks God. He has retired from teaching, but has began training to be a referee. He was spotted on the sidelines at a recent DB scrimmage. I heard the new head coach at Sevier was from the Oak Ridge area. Not sure of the name or anything about him.Roll Tribe!!!

    • 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.
    • 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.
