I think every team in the conference I have seen so far has been small. Not sure about North Greene. Its a guards game - which Cloudland is seeing right now. Its what makes North Greene (McNeese girl) Hampton (dugger, bowers, olivera) and Unaka (winters, colbough) so tough. Once Cloudlands guards figure things out (Matt will make them) they will be ok.

One of the biggest reasons for Cloudland's success last year was the play of Clarke, Miller, Hughes, and Chambers. Losing all that talent, one can't expect the Lady Landers to just up and duplicate the success of last year. Its a work in progress. I agree. There are no princesses in this league. Some of the toughest hard nosed girls in the state play in this district.

Hampton's season can be special if they keep improving. North Greene is the most formidable challenge right now along with Cosby in the other district. I've been keeping a close eye on Cosby. The road to the glass house runs through them. The best thing for Cloudland is to get Rhodes back. Their other big girl is only 5'10 at the most. That makes the Landers a small team across the board. Nothing wrong with a small team if you can score. That seems to be plagueing the Landers right now along with not taking care of the basketball. You can't make those mistakes in this conference.

Agree with you KING Hampton could be special but they need consistent play from their posts for that to happen i believe they got 26 from them last night but only 6 in the Elizabethton game. Cosby looks to be rolling and definitely anyone wanting to make the State run will have to beat them.N Greene with Mcnese back is clicking as well NG/Hampton should be 2 games to watch! If you're small and and evryone in this league is you gotta be quick and have guards that can score and a pt guard who can run the show. Colbaugh at Unaka and Bowers at Hampton,the best 2 in the conf in my opinion, do just that. Clarke was it for Cloudland last year and you can see how bad it has hurt them without her. If i were ranking the conf it'd be 1. NG 2.Hampton 3.Unaka 4.Cloudland 5.University Unaka/Cloudland will be a good match up to see as well. Experienced guards versus inexperienced guards. Cloudland has some games to grow up before then tho. We shall see. Makes for an interesting year!

I thought the Hampton and Happy Valley game was a great game until that stretch at midway point of the 4th quarter.Hampton went to some high ball screens which hurt Happy Valley down the stretch.I thought Montgomery played extremely well for the Bulldogs.Everyone in the gym knows Happy Valley can shoot the basketball but its there lack of defense thats seperating them from winning that big game. All the great teams you see playing in Murfreesboro come March plays great defense. When they decide to come together and make it a priority to get stops on the defensive end of the floor this team could be as good as anyone in that three rivers conference. Cloudland and South Greene and Sullivan East and Hampton will be 2 good games this week to watch.

Couldn't agree more with your lack of defense analysis on HV and if the Hodge girl doesn't get her act together they'll struggle with EHS post game. I picked them to challenge for the 2 or 3 spot in their conf and maybe earn a split with Betsy, they were so close last year, but with no priority on D and no Hodge I may have to retract my predictions. Is it just me or does it look like they put too much emphasis on offense they have scorers that's NOT the problem they need stoppers!! Don't forget Unicoi @ Eliz. we'll see if the Devils have improved since the opening of the season. Also HV vs. Cloudland in the Climate Controllers Saturday.

Big game at Elizabethton tonight. It will be interesting if Unicoi can keep it close. If not it could be a one horse race in the Three Rivers Coinference and will help solidify them as the top team it Tri- County. I expect Hampton and Cloudland could have something to say about that!

    • 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.
