I remember an E-town team with alot of hype in 2010-2011 only one loss weak sched. Prob liked their draw then too. Cannon Co 8 losses, 6-4 in district 8aa play.

You post this as though Cannon Co. wiped the floor with E-Town that game.  The game was close throughout and tied with about a minute to go.  We gave up an easy basket, missed a shot and had to foul a couple of times to create the final deficit of 5 or 6. In my opinion, we lost that game because our coach chose not to press the whole game (he was afraid of foul trouble and we were not deep that year). Regardless, in my opinion the top 3 AA teams in the state tournament that year were on the same side of the bracket (EHS, Cannon and McMinn Central).  I think that if Cannon or EHS had been on the other side, either would have been in the championship against MC).

I said nothing of them wiping the floor with you or even winning for that matter. I said the coach prob liked that draw too. Because of Cannon's schedule.

10 players from EHS played against CAK.

 

this is a normal occurrence from LA side. They have at least 10 players CONSTANTLY rotating in. 2, 3, 4 at a time. It's a constant merry-go-round. If the first few minutes display sluggishness, she'll rip the first 5 and toss in the next 5 for an injection. This is why you will rarely see any LA names mentioned. There are no stars, simply a team full of above average players who are each capable of a big night if needed. But rarely will you see the high scorer in each game going over 15 points.

Guess I should have said they didn't beat anybody. Grainger & CAK were not contenders. They got beat by SH twice. The only good teams they played beat them. That's not to say they can't win...just that they are very beatable.

That's interesting. SE Raleigh is 24-2 (1 of the losses to EHS) in NC 4A quarterfinals.  I'm pretty sure they feel they are somebody, especially since they were in the championship game last year as well.  It's funny that you indicate that neither Grainger nor CAK were contenders.  Both played decent schedules and both were barely defeated in OT by Fulton in the Regional and Sectional.  Fulton beat LA.  I know, I know that was early in the year so that doesn't count.  I'm just a little perplexed by the sentiment (not just you but others) that all LA's wins were good wins and losses were good losses because they played a tough schedule, but all EHS's wins were not quality wins and losses were bad losses because they happen to be in a weaker district. Every team that is left in AA is beatable.  Whoever brings their A-game for three days will likely take home the gold ball.

I don't know about SE Raleigh...but I suspect NC girls BB is considerably behind TN....especially Middle TN. I stand by the statement that CAK & Grainger were not contenders. Neither of them beat any good teams either. That is not to say they weren't competitive...they were.

 

As I said before...you can throw out the first half of the season for LA. No reason to go into why due to privacy issues.

 

You are correct about it will be whomever brings their A game for 3 games. CPA proved that the last 2 years. I don't think many were picking them either year.

I'm still perplexed by the coach's comment that he wanted to avoid a Cannon County team that is 2-2 versus the LA team that he ended up getting. Maybe he was unaware of those battles, I don't know.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
