To respond to several items in this thread:

 

1) The BCHS/CHS game has been moved back to Friday night from the originally scheduled Thursday.

2) When BCHS goes to Alcoa this coming Thursday, it is for a joint practice and not a scrimmage. That's the word from the coach.

3) The rising lineman is probably junior Austin Sanders, 6-5, 285 lbs., offensive and defensive tackle. Lots of interest from several schools.

4) The Copeland kid at QB is ready to lead the Bears to a stellar season barring major injuries from a host of returning offensive and defensive players. I've personally been around this young man on many occasions and have never seen him display anything but good sportmanship, win or lose. Whether or the basketball court or the football field he remains cool and calm no matter the circumstances. The Bears will have to rebuild most of both lines but their offensive and defensive backfields will be something exciting to watch.

 

Please be supportive of your school and positive in every way. There's no room on these boards to try and drag down kids who are simply doing what they love. And that is play sports for their school.

 

well said baconbreath- I think any team can beat anyone on any given night,it just depends on who wants it more. Go Bears!

The scrimage is at 6pm Aug. 6th The following teams are S. Pitt, Mc. Central, Brainerd, Clinton, and of course BC. I don,t think anybody is going to go and try to show out, but get in some good work. Coach Floyd told me it would be 10 plays off. then 10 on Def. and rotate. I think it will be well organized. Would be nice if somebody would do cookout after scrimage. I always did that as head coach. I am sure the teams could pitch in and make it happen. Always good fellowship, and better than McDonalds.

I wanted to thank Bradley for inviting us down to participate in the 5 way scrimmage. I feel like we got a very good look at several good teams in the area and wish all of you the best of luck this season. Impressive facilities!

If you are playing Bradley at Bear Stadium, you better arrive early if you want some decent parking. Their fans are arriving early and they are packing the stadium.

 

Getting in and parking can be a chore. On the bright side, we have plenty of room. One of the few stadiums around that has equal capacity on home and visitor sides.

    • 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.
