The season is just around the corner everyone! Let's hear your opinions.

 

My picks:

 

 

1. LA-way too talented.

2. Cannon-the junior group that's going to be getting more playing time is pretty good, i've heard, and theyve been impressing people at camps.

3-5. Macon/Smith/Central-We know that Macon ( someone at the state tourney made the remark that the younger girls who didn't play as much were going to be even better than group of seniors but who knows. They will be unproven) and Smith are good, but Central is very very good too, losing the FIRST player in program history to graduation last season, and i just don;t think that all the talent in the Buro will reside in AAA schools. They will shock some people.

 

Honestly the first 5 are way to hard to call.

6. Gonna pick a shocker here; DC. They looked very good in camps this summer (camps, i know blah blah) with agressive D and young players stepping up and playing well.

7-8. Upperman still looked down from the few games i saw them play. I don't know if Hull can carry the scoring load for this team, and they had no size at all from what i saw. Coach McWilliams will have them competeing though. All i know about York is that they lost many seniors, including the best player on O and D in Wright and lost two promising young players to C-Range.

 

I won't be surprised if i'm WAY off, because i do look for this year to be the most balanced, top to bottom, that 8-AA has seen in several years. Wow, sitting down to think it out, i was really afraid to make any solid picks because the simple fact is that there aren't any doormats in 8-AA anymore. Everyone can compete.

 

On a side note: apparently SOMETHING has happened at LA. Don't care WHAT it is or WHO it is, but will it affect their ability to compete this season? I think that question may be answered without getting to much started. And if it can't, then my apologies.

Loren Cripps(JR), Ashley Barnes(SR), Ashli Chew(SOPH), and Paige Winningham(SR) all played significant minutes last season. Two other sophomores in Jailyn Bolding and Morgan Pedigo played a lot over the summer. There's also Dani Meadows(SOPH) coming off of a knee injury. (I'm sure im still missing some, and i apologize.) This team is aggressive on D, is fast, and can shoot.

 

In any other district, this group would easily be top 3. But, it IS 8-AA. I look for them to pull some upsets though.

 

EDIT: I knew I forgot two others; Rayanna Baker(JR) and Makenzie Poteete(SR).

Answer: no. However, I think it's worth caring about.

    • 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.
