I saw their last game against Morristown East. They only started one senior. That was the toughest district around and while they did lose in the first round, it was the 4-5 game on the road and they lost in the last few seconds. They were 18-10 this year counting two HOF wins. Whether it's 3 or 4 starters, they still should be better.

Hey I hope they win every game! But the fact remains they lost around 40% of their scoring and 3 seniors that played a lot, 2 starting 95% of the games. They still don't have a player over 5'7". They beat Catholic twice, South Doyle twice, and Cherokee twice. That's a third of their wins. Mo East and West will be down from last year but everyone else on their schedule will probably be better than last year.

They also beat William Blount, Halls, Cocke County, Jefferson County, Morristown East, Pigeon Forge, Sevier County, Powell, Heritage, Alcoa, Gibbs, and Anderson County...they beat every team in their conference except west at least once and were 8-6 in their district, which was one of the best around last year. If they have three starters back from that team, they should be better.

First of all I would like to start by thanking all the whining parents who created all this drama by insisting Andy be let go. I understand some were not happy with his performance but no one seemed to stop and consider the big picture... the "then what?". So while other teams have been working out, planning summer camps, practices etc., we have been left hanging. The saddest part to all this is there is an amazing group of rising freshman who have played together for over 5 years and have a proven track record that are now having to suffer due to the selfish motives of others. Whats even sadder for Seymour is some of these girls are not beyond moving schools at this point which would serve Seymour right. Let them lose some of their better players to Pigeon Forge, Sevierville or Knox. This new group has worked way too hard to get to this point in their game to be thrown into an unknown situation. It makes me sick to see the political control that certain parents in the community have. Seymour has always been all about the politics.

 

I am not taking anything away from Brandi, dont know her personally but I can tell you there will be people that wont like her too. You'll never find a coach that makes everyone happy. Welcome to the world of competitive basketball people.... you're gonna have to get thicker skin about your kids and be happy they are even part of a team where they can work out and get better. There are alot of girls who would love to have the chance to sit on that bench!

 

Its all just a sad thing... the drama in basketball never ceases to amaze me.

It is pretty sad if it's true he was let go. If my numbers are right, they won 39-40 games in two years and won a region championship, and he is still there is a teacher as far as I know so there is obviously nothing bad going on.

 

I haven't talked to him personally, but one of my friends has and between what he is doing with AAU and with the Travelers in the new Nike league, he could care less.

 

I don't know what happened down there, but I just know how all the other coaches in this area think really highly of him. If he left on his own, good for him. If he didn't, that's pretty sad.

It was no secret in Seymour that there were two or three parents that complained on him. The rumors were he was given an ultimatum that he could either step down from the coaching position or lose both the coaching and his teaching position. I can also tell you that one of the parents went as far as to slash his tires. Whats concerning to me is the school system chose to listen to parents that would slash someone's tires. I am a parent of one of the rising freshman. I dont know Andy personally but what I do know is he showed up to watch numerous games of the girls he would be getting in the fall. He was very supportive, had a great interest and looking very forward to the rising freshman. I have also seen him in numerous practices on the court being a very active participant in scrimmages. I was quite impressed and have heard nothing but good from other people in the basketball community. Most all liked him.

I heard about the tire slashing and everyone I've talked to confirms that's true. Sad state of affairs there. From others in the basketball community, he's very well-respected professionally and everybody likes him personally. If they would listen to parents like that he's better off anyway.

Seymour is getting an excellant coach. She has a ton of experience, both as a player and as an assistant coach. She does a excellant job of coaching up her talent, and has done a great job in AAU. But be prepared, she is firm, but fair. I wouldn't go as far as saying it is her way or the highway, but she won't take much stuff from a player or a parent. She played for a coach who wouldn't take advice form parents, so I doubt she will.

With her contacts, she will quickly catch up on the "camps" and practices situation. Good luck Brandi!

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
