Lexington 2nd to Greenville in AP? Is this a joke?

Lexington plays in arguably the toughest 4A district in the state. Lexington, Chester County, Liberty are all legit programs and even South Side and Bolivar are talented. Greenville plays district games against subpar programs in which they can run up the score. The body of work Lexington has compiled this year should leave no doubt. Of course there is that weighted scale of East Tennessee bias that always seems to come into play. Everybody wants a shot at Lexington, but careful what you wish for East & Middle Tennessee. Many have tried, and all have failed to knock off the Tigers in 2011!

You should probably listen to your own advice and be careful what you wish for. If Lexington makes it to the championship game, you will get your wish. However, you will not like the result. The boys in Greene are more than Lexington can handle. The voters know it and you should realize it.

I should realize that an inflated Greenville ranking due to a soft schedule fools people into believing their good? Greenville in no more than garbage in a gold wrapper. When your team gets in front of a real program the wake up call will come, I will give Greenville some credit, they would probably finish 3rd in our district in front of Liberty, but behind Chester County. Sorry AllThatMatters, that's what happens when your district is actually tough.

How about you quit your whining and realize that polls mean NOTHING in high school. If your team really is the best 4A has to offer(which I highly doubt), let them show it the first week of December instead of starting a thread to complain like a little girl about how some newspaper writers didn't give your team the credit you think they deserve.

guess that 2010 loss to Trezevant in the semis last year is just too hard for the voters to forget...

I think everyone pretty much wants a shot at Greeneville. Defending State Champs, current #1 team, beat perennial powerhouse Alcoa (by a lot). I guess we will all see when the last man is still standing though.

BlackandGoldforLife, wow that's a long name. Was FUBAR already taken? Look B&G4L, that was a nice rant, but you E Tenn guys better buckle up for playoffs. West is coming and were taking your dreams and the trophy when we leave. So keep beating up on the little sisters of the poor and telling yourselves your good.

I think the back to back championship games and the silver and gold balls in the trophy case from the past two years tell Greeneville that they are good, not themselves.

Bad conduct! Let's promote ourselves as adults and let the games be settled on the field. If both teams make it that far, then we will see who deserves the gold ball! Lexington will have to prove themselves, as Gville has no competition in their conference they have won some games against tough opponents! Let the games be played on the field, not on here! I really have no dog in the race, I pull for little ole small WG(3A)! Let the games begin and may the best team win the Gold Ball! I know little about Lexington, but good luck to both teams! Let's not be as***, this is kids with goals to win a Gold Ball!

I am not an East TN guy nor do I care what happens in 4A. I just get tired of people whining and crying cause their team isn't ranked number 1.

I guess news travels slow across the river. The T$$AA will shift the quads after week 10. In quad 3 you will have two teams, Trezevant & Lexington. All quad 4 teams are being combined with quads 1 & 2. Since Trezevant is ineligible, Lexington will play Lexington four times at home and if they find a way to win, advance to become the sacrificial lamb for the winner of middle/east quads.

 

So go listen to you some Elvis because after three tries they are finally going to get the Lex across the river. :roflolk:

    • 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.
