While Heritage is a good team that will get better and should contend for district championship, they are not at the same level as a Riverdale or other top 7-AAA teams. While Pryor, Knight and the freshman Wolfe are doing a great job in the post, guard play will be where the difference is. E TN has nothing like an Alexa Middleton and others similar to her to contend with. While I hope Heritage does extremely well, they struggle against ball pressure as witnessed by the press WB put on them last Friday. They have not seen ball pressure until they play the likes of a Riverdale or Science Hill.

Doesn't Bradley have a new point guard transfer?

A new point guard wouldn't make that much difference.

They have good posts, a new point would make quite a difference.

I hope Heritage gets a chance the chance one day; not saying they will win but It would be a fun game to see. Heritage will get one of their starting guards back on Tuesday, don't know how much will see the floor. The way they have been playing they haven't missed her too much. But by the end of the season, hope to see some real good match ups from different Districts.

 

As far as ball pressure when your up by 17 or 18 points with couple of minutes left the urgent s of play isn't there. This is because they are all young. The starting 5 or 6 is 1 senior 3 juniors and 2 sophomores, they still have a lot to grow with.

You never no exactly who will win until you play the games, because inguries etc... (I just pray that all the girls in the state stay healthy)

The difference is Riverdale doesn't care if Heritage guards are young. They will apply relentless pressure on them the second the game starts and not call off the dogs. Heritage has a good team and will get better and I hope they have great success but the Riverdale's of the world are a cut above. HHS guards made several turnovers when WB applied full court pressure in the last 4 minutes of the game. I watched the same guard dribble to a sideline right into the trap 3 times and turn it over. WB press is nothing compared to some of the elite teams in the state.

You are right WB played very good, I wouldn't want to say anything against them.

I know that Heritage is playing better than they have in along time; nobody said they could win against all schools (but they wont back down either). 1st step is to play the games on your schedule, might never make it beyond.

But Heritage will surprise a few people along the way.

So I believe the goal is to place in the Top 4 of the District first.

Right now Farragut, Maryville & Heritage are tied for 1st in 4AAA but there are still a lot of games left

 

Good luck to your school in the rest of the year

 

But for me I am really proud of an 8 and 0 season so far

I agree. I used to live in M'Boro but now back in Blount County. I support all the Blount County schools and hope they are all successful.

Rough week for Heritage while the west knox teams continue to be strong. If Heritage can't get their chemistry back on track I think we are still looking at Bearden and Farragut at the top of the district. Farragut is the only one ready to take on the Riverdales and Science Hills of the state.

Farragut would not finish in the top 3 in district 7AAA with Riverdale, Blackman and Oakland.

      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.
