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.

    • 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.
