I feel like there is some cheating going on here. I think teams like Halls and Oak Ridge were running out of pitching. Yet HVA had only used two pitchers through two games and were in great shape. Therefore Halls "forgot" to put on there tarp. If very bush league and immature of their coach. I hope there is a rule set up by TSSAA soon restricting rbi.hs like this. Unfair advantage.

Wow, have you ever been to the Halls field? Even if they tarp it, it doesn't drain well. It may have rained a lot more over there than it did where you live too. Basically, if you win the district you get to host the tournament...that means you decide to tarp or not.

So basically what I just took from this post is... If you have home field advantage you can cheat because you've earned that right? Correct?

The field was tarped until they pulled it to get ready to play. At 4:45 what looked like a passing shower turned out to be a 30 minute rain that kept getting worse. Once the rain stopped they worked on the field for about an hour to try to make it safe enough to play but it was going to take hours to make it safe. I am shocked anyone who was not there would make such claims of cheating and calling a coach names.

Yeah, this "cheating" thing is really dumb. It rained, the field doesn't drain well. End of story.

Are you really that stupid? I was told they were on the field warming up to play and it started raining so hard they didn't have time to get the tarp on it. I know Doug Polston and he has been doing it the right way for a long time. To accuse him of cheating is moronic....but hey, you are one of the morons on here bashing all the Powell kids after they got put out of the tournament. Honestly, you should just do us all a favor and stop posting.

It's just all so ironic how everything is coming together... Halls has back to back tough games using a lot of pitching then the next day the games get rained out. I know in Powell it was beautiful outside after 430. I'm just saying they may not have meant to do it but It's ironic

As a Powell guy I certainly have no love lost for Halls, but this is pretty silly. We got the edge of the rain in Powell for about 15 minutes, but then it stopped. If you had looked to the east, which just happens to be the direction of Halls, you would have seen that the storm was still very much over that area for a good while after that. It's not surprising that the Halls field was unplayable. It's just like our field at Powell - it doesn't drain well, and it doesn't hold water well - especially when it is wet already.

 

Pointing that finger is just plain misguided.

    • 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.
