District 5-AAA

Recommended Posts

You are right about having to travel from Region 3-AAA to play a sub-state game on the road versus Region 4-AAA. There are still two unbeaten teams in Blackman and Riverdale and neither will be beatable on their home floor. Question---when was the last time that a girls team from Region 3-AAA won a sub-state game on the road. I researched as far back as I can and cannot find any time that a Region 3-AAA girls team won this game on the road. Help me out if you can and let me know which (if any) team won, what year and who they beat.

 

I don't think there have been many times our Region 3AAA Champion has won a substate game at home against the Region 4AAA runnerup. Does anyone have the data? Did Walker Valley do it a few years ago when Tucker coached them?

Cleveland did it numerous times, we were basically unbeatable at home:

2008: beat Lebanon 60-25

2007: beat Riverdale 54-47

2006: beat Riverdale 77-61

2005: beat Shelbyville 84-69

 

Cleveland's 2008 team had a realistic shot at winning state that year :(..that year was amazing.

 

Walker Valley:

2010: beat Blackman 42-38

Thanks for the info.....I don't know how I overlooked the success of the Rachel Powell-coached teams at Cleveland since I was at a couple of those substate victories for the Lady Raiders.

 

I talked to Rachel several weeks ago (she coaches a team of 6-7 year olds in the Decatur league), but didn't get to ask her about coaching in high school again. I thought she was just taking a year off from coaching Cleveland when she had another baby....but that was about 3 years ago. Do you know why she didn't go back? Since her brother coaches at Meigs (their alma-mater) I know she won't be going back there, and if she's not returning to Cleveland I'd love to see her at McMinn County.

From what I know, she is still teaching at Cleveland...as far as coaching again, I have no idea.

McMinn Co:

2003: beat Riverdale 60-57

 

McMinn was really good in '03, the girl who played post for them(can't remember her name) was a monster in the paint.

The Bearettes lost to Millbrook, NC 53-46 in the finals of the Upward Classic tourney. I understand that Millbrook has several starters that have signed D-I scholarships so they must have been pretty talented.

 

Went 2-1 in the tournament beating a Georga 4A Champion Fayette County, 62-42; Dorman (South Carolina 4A runner) up, 53-46; and losing the game to Millbrook (a NC 4A State Champion) 45-38. Not a bad tournament for them, and some really good competition, which they needed.

The Bearettes last sub-state win was at home in 1995 over White County. They lost to Shelbyville in the state finals that season. 53-43.

 

Amy Geren and Paige Redman were on that team, and Amy won the MVP award while on the losing team for her play. Unusual for that to happen. When her name was called the Shelbyville crowd gave her a standing ovation.

She also won the MVP of the Volleyball state which they won. Twice. Won the 3 point shoot out at the Men's championship finals in college. Won the girls title then beat the guy who won the boys. Could play any position on the floor.

Good teams like Bradley do need to play stiff competition from time to time. They don't really have any competition in the District (or Region), and it makes them lose focus and play sloppy, like they did against McMinn a couple weeks ago. From what you posted, it looks like this Christmas Tournament was timely for them to refocus as they polish their skills.

Well the Bearettes go back to winning by defeating White County Saturday night. Solid game, but nothing flashy or spectacular. Just another win. But the second win against what may be the strongest competition in the Region 3 to the Bearettes. Problem is, now, do they get complacent and try to mail it in?

    • 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.
