Got a call Saturday Morning. Heard some good things about the big blue and their scrimmage! Heard Bradley had problems stopping the running game, passing game is improved and defensive front is solid. Wanting to hear from others how the scrimmage went. My buddy likes wearing the blue sunglasses, as do I. Is the county game going to be worth driving from out of town to see?

OK, two weeks into the season, we should know a little more. (My opinion) the biggest suprise so far, for me, is McMinn Central, thought they played well against McMinn and the blowout at Notre Dame really got my attention. Sweetwater and Sequoyah are where I thought they be, the jury is still out on Polk, just not sure. Meigs is still in the rebuilding stage. Whats your opinion?

Here's my take on 5AA after 5 weeks.

1. Polk County - Though they are down and other teams are improved, the Cats are still the cream of this crop.

5. Meigs - No district wins for these guys, hopefully they beat Tellico and avoid the 0'fer.

 

2, 3, 4 ---- This is where it gets interesting. I have seen Central and sweetwater play Polk and based solely on those two games I give the edge to Sweetwater, but very slight edge. I have not seen Sequoyah play, but based on scores alone, they may be slightly better than Central too.(see Meigs scores). With all that said, I believe these three teams are close enough that anything can happen on any Friday night, but for the sake of discussion. I'll go with this....

 

1. PC

2. Seq. (they have Central and Sweetwater in Madisonville)

3. Sweetwater

4. Central

5. Meigs

 

I'm pulling for Central to take second place, because I think thats the only way they get in the playoffs. Sweetwater and Sequoyah could claim wildcards due to their weak schedules.

Big games on tap this Friday night! McMinn Central invades Sweetwater and the Sequoyah heads to Benton to take on Polk County. Meigs County will be heading to Athens to try and ruin a homecoming for the Tribe, in non district play.

The Chargers and Wildcats are playing for alot (IMO), both teams are still in the hunt for second in the district. The loser, (I think) will be served up as the #8 seed in the playoffs.

Sequoyah-Polk game, this is the last time for anybody (except Meigs) to put a dent in Polks undefeated district record over the past few years. Winner should be the favorite for the district championship, but high seatings are also up for grabs in this one.

Central may get in the playoffs with 4 wins, since their opponents have pretty good records, and if they get in they will most likely play Polk again (depending on Friday night) or CAK (depending on their week 10 with Alcoa)

If Polk wins Friday night they are District champs, regardless of the outcome of week 10 in Decatur.

If Sequoyah wins Friday night in Benton, and Central beats Sweetwater, Sequoyah is the champ.

If Sequoyah beats Polk and Sweetwater beats Central, then the Sequoyah versus Sweetwater game will determine the winner (or send it to the tie breakers, which makes the Seq vs Loudon game huge too))

 

All that being said, I'm sticking with my previous predictions...

1. Polk

2. Seq.

3. Sweetwater

4. Central

5. Meigs

 

I'll go a little further, Alcoa beats CAK and Polk gets the #1 seed in quad 2, and Central gets #8 ----

    • 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.
