HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE: THIS IS RIVERSIDE HIGH SCHOOL'S FIRST STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN ANYTHING

AND ONLY THE 4TH APPEARANCE OF ANY KIND BY ANY TEAM IN THE STATE TOURNAMENT

73 GIRLS BASKETBALL (COLLETT, WALLACE, CHANDLER, MAYES) LOST TO WOODBURY IN THE 1ST GAME OF THE STATE TOURNAMENT

85 BASEBALL (POWERS, HARRINGTON, ODLE, FISHER, RHODES, SCOTT) LOST TO CHATT CENTRAL IN THE FINAL GAME

09 BASEBALL (ALMOST EVERYBODY FROM THIS YEAR) LOST TO SUMMERTOWN IN THE FINAL

 

CONGRATS TO THE PANTHER PLAYERS, FANS, AND PARENTS. IN THE 44 YEAR HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE FINEST MOMENTS! FROM THE DAYS OF COACHES LIKE MACK CHANDLER, SAMMY FISHER, AND THE CURRENT GUYS JEFF RHODES AND SCOTTY FISHER THIS IS ONE FOR THE PANTHER NATION AND ALL OF DECATUR COUNTY. WAY TO GO BLUE AND GOLD!!

Congrats to Riverside on the State Championship. I haven't seen you play, but to make it to state says one thing, but to blow most teams out like you did in the state tournament, that speaks for itself.

 

Congrats to Boyd as well. You guys have nothing to be ashamed of. You had a great season, and made Boyd Buchanan history. :thumb:

Riverside is a small public class A school that lost last year's title game with 8 seniors. How did they get even better? I know Gant is special and special players can't make people around them play better, but did they have any first year players/transfers or was the lineup on the team last year?

Riverside isn't a small Class 1A school. I think we are the 2nd or 3rd largest 1A school. Don't know the exact number but its around 400. From I was told, we were actually only about 25 or so kids from be 2A in the last realignment.

    • 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.
