Moore County plays Huntland tonight in one of the biggest rivalry games in the State. How did it get to be so big? Shirley Majors had coached at Moore County from 1944-46. In 1949 Moore County native Shirley Majors accepted the Huntland coaching job at the invitation of the Huntland principal Homer Laws who was also a Lynchburg native. In 1951 Huntland had won a State Championship and Johnny Majors lead the State in scoring. In 1952 Johnny Majors was a Senior at Huntland and was again leading the State in scoring. Moore County had probably there best team ever in 1952. Both teams went into the game undefeated. The game was played in Shelbyville because Lynchburg's stands would not hold the large crowd. Moore County won the game 13 to 0 and Moore County went undefeated in regular season and it was Huntland's only loss for the year. These factors led to the Moore County & Huntland rivalry.

    • 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.
