5A preseason Coaches Poll


Recommended Posts

Your right. These should be taken with a grain of salt because coaches are not going to put in a lot of time to fill out one of these polls. With that being said, one major oversight IMO is the omission of Rhea Co., not sure if they have a state championship worthy team, but I do think it is a team that will make a deep run into the playoffs. I do feel like Beech snuck in there on reputation, but is a well-earned reputation. Also curious that Campbell County isn't in the top 10, considering all the starters they are returning.

Soooooo...Mr. Middle Tennessee.....should we take  what you write with a grain of salt??? Someone in 7AAA is hinting around like they believe that Oakland or Blackman will crack the East Tennessee Code huh???oh I mean dethrone the Champs??really?? :?:

2 omissions in my opinion. Hillsboro and Gallatin. I saw both in the spring. Hillsboro is loaded and with all of those SEC commits they should be top 3-4. Gallatin has a lot back especially at the skill positions and when you add Banks that makes them a top 10 team in my opinion.

I also think South Doyle should get some votes. Maybe not top 10, but honorable mention if their was such a thing. I feel people are still not giving Campbell County the credit they deserve either. For the simple fact that they were such a lackluster program for so long. Oh well, that will only make them guys want to prove everyone wrong again.

Hillsboro, Rhea County and Campbell County would all be HIGH in my poll, and they aren't even mentioned in this poll. This is worse than the 4A poll. No offense to Beech, Shelbyville and Anderson County but they would be out to make room for the aforementioned three. South Doyle should also be in there as well, but I'm not sure who I'd knock out to make room for them.

Campbell Co is a good team, but after the way West manhandled them, I have a hard time ranking them in the top 10.

    • 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.
