A friend of mine from JC sent me an article today that quotes Eliz's coach as saying he is pleased with the draw and that the two teams he did not want to face in the first round were in the opposite bracket, so perhaps BigBama is just reflecting what their coach is saying.   Of course coach Dugger goes on to say that all the teams are good and losses don't mean anything at this point, but the jist of the article is both he and the sportswriter like Eliz's draw.

 

Who didn't he want to face?

Dyersburg and Cannon County is who he named.

 

So he doesn't want to play Cannon County but is good with playing the team that beat them in the Region Championship game?

BigBama- all the teams who make it this far are going to be tough. I am not from

LA, nor am I a fan, but the Upper Cumberland region is traditionally the toughest area of the state for girls' basketball, much in the way Memphis is known for boys' basketball. Any teams that come from that area will be formidable. That is not to take anything away from Elizabethton, simply trying to explain why some may have taken offense as being seen as ,"the good draw." There are no easy draws from that area of the state.

Sorry if I offended anybody. Let's play ball!!

I don't think anyone was offended as much as they wanted to inform you that their record was deceiving and that they are very good. I am also not a LA fan. Just seen them play for 20+ years.

 

I read the coaches comments in the paper too, doesn't make much sense when LA has shown that Cannon Co is pretty equal to them. He should know better than to give LA fuel for the fire.

LA has been tough for years and has made it a habit of being in the Boro. I can't remember how many times they put us out but I want to say 2 or 3. I have watched LA religiuosly in here's past and I think if anything the last two years they have not played as good as some of the other teams in the past. Of course CPA made a lot of teams look not so good. But, IMO if there was a ranking for a AA program with the most tradition in the Boro you would have to go with LA and Jackson County (of course A now). I picked Elizabethton to win it all based on what I seen last year, but they better bring their A game because LA is always a tough out.

It's easy to read whatever you want into comments. I would surmise the EHS coach's comments were likely more about what he felt was the best match up rather than which opponent was better. You can be sure the EHS coaches and players respect LA.

      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.
