Copper Basin basketball

I have been following single A basketball very closely this season, especially in the Chattanooga area, Boyd Buchanan may have one of their best teams ever and CSAS is once again very good. The one team I have watched play a few times that I believe is very good that I am not hearing anyone talk about is Copper Basin. Copper Basin is 8-3 at the Christmas break, their best start in two decades with two wins over Fannin County, a school of over 1,000 kids, and a very impressive 19 point win over Grace Academy. Basin is 2-1 in district 5A, and a fun team to watch. Their coach, Coach Kidd has turned this program around. I think Basin can finish in the top three in district 5A and possibly make some noise in the District and Region tournaments.

CSAS is one of Copper Basins losses. They were tied at halftime and I think they lost by nine. They play Boyd Tuesday January 14th.

CSAS won 81-64. Got up double digits early. Let their foot off the gas and it was tied at half. Dominated the second half after a few adjustments. Copper Basin is definitely improved especially at home. Thats's a tough place to play. They have a couple shooters and a tough PG.

Sorry on the mix up on the score. I knew it was tied at half, and I thought it was about nine. Just spoke to a former player and he said CSAS score the first 12 points of the second half, besides that it was very competitive game. By the way I have never known Coach Dragoo to ever let off the gas lol.

I haven't been on here in a while and I really never get on the bball forum, usually just football. I went to Copper Basin, and I have had the opportunity to watch this team a few times this season. This is the best basketball team I've seen at the school ever. I'm only 20 though. Kidd has done a remarkable job sticking with the school and turning this program around. The school has really never had any success at basketball. It is definitely nice to see. I'm hoping to catch the game at Grace next Tuesday. Wanted to go to Boyd tonight but had to work. Anybody know who won that game? And oh yeah the Copper Basin Hiwassee Dam rivalry is great in both basketball And baseball. Fun to play in

    • 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.
