Bearden has one top pitcher, Boyles, and others that will compete. Their recent strength is their hitting, up and down their lineup. They will destroy mediocre pitching. They could surprise everyone being in the weaker bracket and win it all.

 

It appeared the deck has been stacked against Farragut to make 5peat a real challenge.

Their 2 top pitchers out injured and placed in the bracket with Tennessee's top ranked teams:

 

Upper Bracket

2 Mount Juliet

3 Riverdale

5 Farragut

9 Arlington

 

Lower Bracket

8 Germantown

10 Bearden

15 Walker Valley

16 Franklin

 

If Farragut wins this one they will have to find pitching and hitting from players that haven't been very productive lately. If they can step up to the challenge TSSAA bracket placement will not stop the Ads.

Their #1 who is going to Vandy won't be pitching in the state tournament. They have plenty of depth at the pitching position though. You won't see anybody who will just blow you away but they are good pitchers who will get people out

He can still hit though and the kid is a stud at the plate. Mt. Juliet is solid 1-9 and should be tough beat, but probably could be beaten if their opponent has a dominant arm on the mound. Anyone know anything about Walker Valley? I had not heard of them until this week, but they are obviously pretty good if they made it this far.

Makes me feel a little better then, Farragut has been stroking the last month and they usually only struggle if they have to face a stud so hopefully if they play one another it'll be an entertaining game.

Here's What I know about Mount Juliet.... they are 38-4 with wins over Riverdale, Collierville, Walker Valley and Mason OH.

 

They are hitting the ball hard and put up some good numbers in Regional and Sectional, pitching is deep.....

Who do you see making it to the title game and who you got winning it?

 

 

That'st a tough one, the top bracket is so over loaded, I would say Farragut or MJ will come out of the top bracket..... But you never know. Once these teams get into the losers bracket, and have to start eating up pitching, it could get interesting.

 

I figure Arlington throws Bramlett against Riverdale.

Bottom side bracket games could be blowouts... good luck to MJ, do 9AAA proud. Pulling for you guys. Hope to make a game or 2 on Wed.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
