Ok let's all be honest here. The TSSAA needs to take fair play out of their bylaws and truly put, we are looking for match-ups that will bring in the most revenue in the playoffs and state tournements. People would have more respect for this organization if they just said it like it was. Instead, they act like it's fair to match-up power houses in the first round of the state tourney. What a joke!!!!!

I know our coach was going today to be present for the drawing, and if I'm not mistaken the only stipulation that overrules the draw is if two teams from the same region(?) are drawn out to play in the 1st round- for example Middleton & Scotts Hill have played 4 times this year already, and being in the same region they would be seperated automatically. I think.

"Two points: The draw is blind. I don't know who drew this year but last year it was two small boys. The second point, if TSSAA was all about money what is the financial incentive by matching up two local great teams in the first round? Wouldn't it be wise to string out the best teams for as long as can be done to max revenue.

Example, in AAA -- if it was all about money do you think Riverdale/Mt. Juliet would be matched in first round? Fixing the draw would put these teams in opposite brackets so good crowds would be drawn for possibly 5 games (two each by Riverdale and Mt. Juliet and then they meet in finals) rather than 1."

Your team is lucky to be there and you have to beat the best to be the best so quit complaining and lets play ball. The last 8 teams standing is playing for championship in each class the rest has been elimanated and the process may not be perfect but if it was done any other way it wouldn't satisfy everybody and what other way would be more fair. Everybody thats left is a power house in their own eyes.

I would imagine any of the 8 teams there is capable of winning or losing any game at this level. And the fact that they do separate teams from the same district/region shows thay try to do it as fair as they possibly can.

I felt like foosball44 as well, but if there were small boys drawing and teams represented, I still wouldn't put it past them to have it fixed (you thought I was going to take the bait). To the second point, I know for a fact, based on the football debacle, that the TSSAA doesn't play out scenarios like the one you just suggested and here's why. The only guaranteed match-up between the two teams you mentioned is JUST LIKE THIS...the other way is by chance, and you don't double your revenue like the organization did in football on chance. Was this a blind draw? Probably (never say never), but can I understand how people are skeptical coming off the fall match-ups and the resulting revenue, ABSOLUTELY. Anything less is naive at best. And while we're on the subject, I was talking with a basketball officinado from GA and he laughed when I explained our setup. He said, after all that work, you guys leave it up to chance that quite possibly the top two teams in the state could match-up in the first round while one of two inferior teams make it to the final four? Before anyone goes on with the "you have to beat the best" or all 8 are good or they wouldn't be there. A-You should have to beat the best, or next best, but your body of work should put you in position to do that in the finals and B- you are naive if you believe that all 8 teams are equal based on plenty of head-to-head match-ups. Seeding does work, just like that other little tourney in March...now have at me. :thumb:

What could they do that would be better? Don't complain unless you have a solution.. In AA this year they had so many teams that can not play each other till Saturday due to being from the same regional. So when team 1 was drawn that put team 2 from there region to the other bracket etc, etc... It is always a great tournment an I'm ready for it to begin

      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.
