I remember the rival days of WB and the Owls.....how yal doin on the field?

 

Those WB/Ooltewah games were awesome. From the early 2000's-2007 those were some of the most hotly-contested and fun to watch games in the state. It's a shame that rivalry had to end with the new districts, but I fear that it wouldn't be much of a rivalry from 2009-present.

Well we could still play each other in a non conference game. Oh and I have to disagree, I think wb would have still given ooltewah fits the past few years (except the most recent one). You gotta realize that wb plays in a tougher district and has lost alot of close games. If we can keep it a game against farragut, west , and lenoir city we could ooltewah a run for their money.

I definitely see your point, Governors91. However, I don't think that it is completely fair to compare LC to Ooltewah. In LC's best season since the late 90's, they still lost at home to Ooltewah by 24 points. The 2011 WB team would have had the best chance to give the Owls a game, but you never knew what you were going to get with them (for example laying an egg and losing to West by 18).

 

I don't mean to be negative, though, as I think that a new coach will do wonders for WB. I'm really excited about the future and I hope that Ridge has the Govs back in the playoffs soon. I think it won't be long before WB can beat teams like the Owls again.

Yea, The Govs have been woefully inconsistent the past few years. But my point was if the Govs showed up and played the way they were capable of playing they could have given the owls a game. especially the 2011 team. Yes , I also have faith in Ridge.

    • 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.
