Why not Notre Dame? Wow the Chattanooga area is down bad this year if someone even has to ask this question. ND came to a tournament up here and went 0-3 with the losses being around 20 points. One of these bad losses being to a 7th place district team.

 

You are correct. Chattanooga area teams are down. I know of 15 freshman that are starting and playing big rolls for their teams this year. Notre Dame has at least 2 freshman starting and Baylor 3 starting freshman. These teams will get stronger as the year goes on and they gain experience. The 2014-15 season will be very strong for Chatt area when these girls mature.

I didn't give Silverdale much thought to be honest due to their results so far..7-4 with one win vs non-TSSAA Berean and a forfeit win vs non-TSSAA Gabriel. Wins vs Boyd, Red Bank, Grace, Lookout Valley, each are rebuilding and LFO, GA. Losses to Polk and CCS which are rebuilding. All that doesn't mean they won't be the favorite in the district and possibly make noise in the region.

 

SBA definitely has not played well at times. The loss to CCS was due to Massengil getting hurt in 2nd quarter. Polk was 14-20 from 3 pt range in that one. SBA is not deep, only 10 girls on the team, rotating 8, wth a freshman starting and another coming off bench. Only one player over 5-7 and she is the freshman coming off bench at 5'10''. Massengil gives them the chance to upset anyone, she could be averaging over 40 pts a game if they had not blown out their opponents in most of the wins. They should go undefeated in District with a shot to beat Whitwell in Regions. That would be a huge accomplishment for them.

WItnessed SBA leave Massengil in well into the 4th quarter up 50 plus against Red Bank playing man picking up at half court. She got a number of steals and uncontested layups in the 4th quarter. Probably the reason she is averaging what she is. Lost a lot of respect for SBA.

 

Yep...you see this a lot not by just SBA but others too....with the objective being "Best of Preps" King or Queen for a day because all the Times really looks at to determine is stats.

Henley's picks. This includes North Georgia but there is just one in there. Sequoyah might be considered outside the area, even if they would be part of his picks. You can't argue with Baylor being up there having won the tournament.

 

I wondered that about Sequoyah. In my opinion, they're slightly better than Meigs having watched McMinn Central play both teams. The two haven't played each other though, so we'll see in the next few weeks if I'm right. Definitely the most competitive 5-AA has been in years. Probably since Walker Valley moved up in the mid-00's. I think it's good for MC considering traditionally we get ready for tournament time by playing a difficult non-district schedule. I just wish we still played a home and home with Bradley. Those were always great games.

It's definitely good for McMinn Central to have stronger District competition. Winning the District and Region has been too easy for them in years past. Both Sequoyah and Meigs are capable of beating Central, though neither have done it yet. Meigs returns all their starters next year, so they're probably a step behing Sequoyah and Central, but still capable. McMinn Central's loss to McMinn County Friday night can be a building block of learning for the Chargerettes too, as they prepare for the season's finish. Losing Kelsey Myers for the season really took a lot of punch out of them, but they still have enough to win the District and Region.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
