If that's the case, can the District Tournament and send the number one and two teams from the regular season. The TSSAA needs "one" set of rules for the State Tournament. Independence, Antioch/Cane Ridge, Knox Catholic and more are being affected by one district's new set of rules.

 

You are wrong...one bad game - in District Semis, Region Semis, or Sectional SHOULD stop the best team from advancing to State. It has happened many times over the years. In fact, most states have single elimination all the way through the tournament.

I agree. Soccer is one sport where it really is about who is the better team on that day, who has more motivation, who plays a headier game, who wants it more. At the top of the ladder Real Madrid and Barcelona are sitting on the sidelines because Bayern Munich and Chelsea just played better. Both were considered huge upsets except by Bayern and Chelsea.

I agree. If you can't beat a "weaker" team when it counts then why should you advance in the tournament ? It doesn't make any sense. If your team is "the best in t he state" then you probably should not be losing in the semifinals of the district tourney.

Which is the exact case with Brentwood in a prime position to win the state tournament. If many of the current DoD teams who had an off game back in their tournament, such as Farragut, Maryville, Knox Catholic, and even Knox West were put in Brentwood's position in the bracket, they would have a good chance of winning.

With the exception of possibly Knox Catholic, you are incorrect. The others would have had a chance of winning, but not a "good" chance. Maryville barely had a winning record. Farragut won nearly all of their games by only one goal and I heard they were manhandled by Riverdale. The DoD simply was not as strong this year as in prior years. This tournament always proves interesting. Just a few years ago, everyone knew it would be a Farragut vs. Bearden rematch (only to watch Hendersonville play Centennial in the finals). We can now see if Bearden proves me wrong.

      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.
