Great win by the Lady Toppers last friday. Was an exciting game. These two teams battled to the final horn.

It was an awesome game! Huge crowd. Thought that Tarter shined big. Especially only being a freshman. The treys by the hill was the turning point too. Bunch of 'D' being played in that game!!!

Kudo's to both SH and THS.

SHHS & THS tied at the top, DB locked in at 3, Crockett at the bottom, and 4-7 a tossup.

 

BIG difference between finishing 4th or 5th versus 6th or 7th. Six and seven are one and done in district tourney, while 4 or 5 will make regionals and get at least 3 more games. Unfortunately these extra games will probably all be losses.

 

Still think Volunteer has best shot at fourth.

Well it is looking more like SHHS and THS will be tied. Who will get the #1 seed if they are tied? There is HUGE difference in being 2nd and 1st. The semi final game would be Volunteer, South or Central. That is a big differnece than playing DB. I just cant believe that South is not winning more than they are. Cant wait to see how are teams fair against IMAC though.

Some pretty good comments and insights. Not sure I can add very much but here goes...

1) TN High finds a way to win no matter what. A couple of years ago they lost 6 or 8 seniors and still came back the next year to win the conference. Generally play harder than anyone else and only team that even really attempts to press consistently. Good balance in and out.

2) Science Hill has best shooters and good ballhandlers. Lack of post play is an issue but most teams in the conference won't take advantage. Could knock off TN High but still young.

3) DB is big and has a LOT of seniors. Guard play will do them in but France doesn't really use them anyway. Shouldn't take a genious to figure out to pressure the ball when playing them.

4A) Was going to poke fun at Falconmom, but Volunteer may actually crack the top half this year. Lindholm will need a lot of help to pull it off though.

4B) South has a DI commitment. (Does anyone else?) Think Campbell is their only senior though and a key junior is hurt. Some young players will have to step up (and not be totally demoralized) to finish in the top half.

4C) Central has a couple of very talented players but not much else. Still they could easily sweep both South and Volunteer.

7) Boone gets as much out of their talent as anyone else. Feeder system has really let them down lately though.

8) Crockett has same feeder problem as Boone but doesn't seem to get as much out of them.

 

Not too far off myself, but then again everyone's picks were similar. Pancon had the tie at the top, but think I will finish a little better in the bottom half. Remains to be seen though. Good point by tommyman about 1 vs 2 as DB will be a much tougher game in the district semi's than 4 vs 5 winner.

 

As for South, buckle up and I'm sure Comp will tell us the problem unless he's thrown in the towel.

Does the tie breaker go 2 overall record or coin toss?

I'm not sure I like your tone knack. Irregardless, South threw in the towel long ago. Campbell can't play by herself even though that is how it went. I'm sure she will be relieved to exit to the next level. Congrats to the top 4. And a special kudos to BB. There is not a harder working individual in the Big 8...or NET for that matter. Some say she is scrappy...but she gives it 110% 24/7. I feel Tusculum got a steal. I personally saw her playing at a larger level. And congrats to all the Seniors...I hope the best for 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.
