Who looks good this year?

 

Boogie,

You make the Gman proud!  Obviously with no longer a dog in the hunt...looks like to get this thing going or things stirred up enough to get BigENS involved.  Kudos to the small privates so they get some recognition...often overlooked by the newspapers when it comes to post season accolades there are definitely some decent athletes to watch at this level for sure.  While a few good players have left from last season...a few good players remain which should make for some good games throughout the season this year.  Plus add in Friendship Christian and BGA...who knows what the season will bring.

 

Even though my own son is at Maryville looking for PT at the next level because my wife is an Ezell Harding teacher I'll be at a number Eagle games when I can.

 

Speaking of the Eagles, Coach Farmer is in his 3rd year as head coach and this year he has a lot of work to do.  Gone from the team are 3 of the top scorers that accounted for 65% of the teams points.  And he has a brutal schedule that his team playing Hendersonville, Centenniel, Huntington Prep, (yes that is national power Huntington Prep)  FRA, JPII, Giles County, and MBA in the first 9 games. 

 

In the east...I like Knox Webb to take their division  I look for Ezell, DCA, Friendship, and why not Sewanee to fill out the rest of the puzzle.  In the other division...look for FRA and BGA (by default...don't know much about them) to benefit from a weaker side.  USN loses their only threat this year...so it could be an interesting battle for the remaining places come tournament time.

 

The West I would favor Skal and company at ECS to make it back to the state to take care of some unfinished business.

 

Notable players ...  I'll have to get back with you on that.

 

Till then good luck to all the teams, parents, coaches, and players.  Try to keep it on the cool side.  Be nice to one another and treat others as you would want to be treated.

 

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

From the East side...look for these players to have a big impact from the Top 4 Schools from the past.  Someone has got to give me little help from the newcomers BGA and Friendship Christian.

 

FRA loses starters Chance Bouldin and Kessler Bell.  Finally you might get a chance to see  players like Tori Smith, Kenny Cooper, and Rob Marberry put up some huge numbers with the need to put in more playing time for FRA to stay competitive throughout the season.

 

DCA loses Carson Outlaw, Joshua Joy, and D Ewin...look for Clay Hertel, Jake Singer, and Shannon Fayne to carry the boys in blue.

 

Knox Webb seems to always be strong.  With Burton Sampson gone...look for Austin Cox and Justin Jenkins to lead the guys in green this season.

 

Finally, Ezell will hope that the young guys grow up quickly.  Those returning from last year's team that will be looked at to produce will be TJ Smith, Ryan Caldwell, and Al Batson.

 

That is it for now.  Good luck guys!  We'll See you on the hardwood.

DCA will be in good shape....we have a 6'-6" player - Lewie Gillespie came to DCA for his Sr year...formally homeschool ... Jake Singer will do well, Jaron Warden is 6'-5 and has added muscle, Clay Hertel, My son is now 6-3 and has worked out with a passion and has put on 24 lbs of muscle since the start of last season, and has several colleges from D-1 to NAIA recruiting him now from the good summer he had in AAU and the exposure of Rick Bolus Blue Chip All Star and ranked by Andre Whitehead of unapproved website. We should battle for state..

Noah isn't a guard, he plays forward, power for them. He needs to switch it up to the guard spot but his sport ain't the hoop, it's football. Why woud you say Babb ain't playing? He been playing football all year unless he recently got hurt.

he did not play all summer I did not know he was playing football I'm glad he is I like his game

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
