Here's my blind swing at the pinata:

 

Opening Round

(1) Friendship Christian wins over (4) Jackson County

(2) Gordonsville losses to (3) Clay County

(3) Red Boiling Springs losses to (2) Clarkrange

(4) Watertown losses to (1) Pickett County

 

Semifinals

(1) Friendship Christian wins over (2) Clarkrange (In a nail biter)

(1) Pickett County losses to (3) Clay County (Revenge is so sweet)

 

Championship

(1) Friendship Christian losses to (3) Clay County

 

 

Obviously, I'm just having fun and it probably won't go down like this. All 8 teams are capable of taking home the gold if they have 3 great games. There are many talented young men in this region, and I look forward to watching them square off. Good luck to everyone!

 

 

Well it looks like I've picked it right so far except that FCS vs. Clarkrange wasn't a nail biter at all. FCS is a very good basketball team that has a deep bench. Their first 6 or 7 players are all highly athletic young men that can both run and jump well. Clarkrange was simply "out classed" physically.

 

So here we go, Thursday night at Watertown #1 Friendship Christian squares off with #3 Clay County. I'm gonna stick with my previous pick of the Bulldogs coming out of H20 Town with the gold. They will definitely have to play well to pull off the upset though. Its gonna take a good team effort from the boys in black and gold. If they're not satisfied with simply making substate and stay hungry for a win like they have been in the first 2 rounds of this regional tournament I see them coming out on top.

 

Good luck to both teams. I look forward to Thursday night.

The first half tonight was the best I've seen Clay Co. play all year. Dusty Birdwell had a stellar 3rd quarter and Clay was just to much in the 4th quarter for PC to come back on. However, they are gonna have their hands full with the FCS Commanders. Clay Co. better be hungry or they'll be taking a long ride down to Chattanooga.

Congrats to Clay Co and FCS on their victories last night. This should be a great game to watch. It could go either way depending on who steps up. We have to contain Boles, I know we can't shut him down but we have to limit him to touches and make him shoot the LONG 3 and hope he don't get hot!. We have to continue to play the tight D man to man that has carried us all season. Good luck to both teams and I hope we both get past MONDAY and leave both Chattanooga teams at home. We have 2 teams playing that can do that if we both stay focused.

 

Clarkrange boys were tired at the end of the 3rd. Its hard to play only 6 players and not get tired from the full court man to man defense. Jones and the Henry brothers do a good job of controlling the press (along with #30) but just got tired. They are a good team and coached well just lack the depth needed down the stretch.

 

My prediction is FCS 61 Clay Co 56

Looks like our Region 3 opponents will be Chatt Arts & Science (26-4) and Lookout Valley (19-9).....Chatt A&S will be favored in this game, think they beat Lookout Valley by 20 last time. So it looks like this FCS/CC game will be very important with our loser probably going into a hostile environment at Chatt A&E.

    • 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.
