Not only does this game have implications for the playoffs (seeding and therefore matchups), in a way you can look at it as the beginning of the playoffs. This is where these two teams have a chance to show they are ready for the big dance. Win or lose, both teams need to perform well in this game to build confidence for the post-season. Of course, the winner gets more confidence, but even the loser needs to be able to come out with a feeling that they executed on the field.

Bradley does NOT see McMinn as their archrival by any means! We realize that McMinn still does for some reason, but McMinn is like number 4 or 5 on the list as far as Bradley is concerned.

 

It is true that this should be a great game watching these two fight it out for the championship. I think it will be tough for McMinn at Bear Stadium, but we do have two good teams matching up. Friday night will be some great football that you won't want to miss.

If McMinn is not the arch rival than who would it be? Cleveland? Dont think so....these two schools have been at each others throat for close to 80 years in every sport from football to golf.

 

To the game: In my opinion if McMinn can control the line of scrimmage than they win. SIMPLE...every other aspect of this game is a toss up. I have said for years when you put 16 & 17 year old kids on the field just about anything can happen and it usually does. I like the Cherokees in this one for one reason they have more play makers. It should be a classic high school football game that will have its share of BIG plays and screw ups.

 

McMinn 31

Bradley 30

 

GO TRIBE!!!

Of course it's Cleveland just ask both schools and they'll tell you it doesn't matter what sport they are playing that's thier biggest rival.

I think McMinn County still is up one the list but not above Cleveland by any stretch of the imagination now. Sorry, Tribe fans, but you guys are absolutely no higher than second on this pecking order now.

 

Controlling the line of scrimmage is key in most every game. And this game is no different, in that. But to say McMinn has more playmakers? Go on thinking that. :D Methinks the Bears have at least as many playmakers as McMinn.

Of course it's Bradley vs Cleveland. It always has and always will be! ESPNU Crosstown Rivals, Bradley vs Cleveland not Bradley vs McMinn....come on!

Still should be a tough game Friday night, no doubt.

It might not mean much to the newbies at Bradley, but I personally know a plethora of former Bear players ranging from 40 to 80 years old and the vast majority of them will tell you flat out that McMinn County was THE biggest rival when they played.

 

(edit) I might also add that Bradley hasn't been that much of a rival to McMinn either since the Bears weren't consistently very good for soooooooo many years. I'm glad Bradley finally has a good team again to make the rivalry more interesting.....bringing back the memories that made legends in their day on the gridiron in this classic that's the second oldest continuously played football game in the state.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
