Never to early to talk hoops. CAK probably goes undefeated this season in the district, I was wondering what everyone else thought. My prediction for the upcoming year:

1. CAK too much talent and now Hooper is back.

2. Catholic, if everyone is healthy they could finish second. The Lady Irish return 4 starters and their top three subs from last year.

3. Alcoa always tough and competitive for their size. They also have very good coach.

4. Scott they have some good shooters not much depth.

5. Kingston, I know nothing about them.

Alcoa lost only one player to graduation, Kayla Newman. Far as I know, everyone else is back. Hannah Troutt and Tara Shields, our main 3-point shooters are back, but of course, there will be nights when the shots aren't falling, like our last game. Depending on how Erica Anthony has developed, she could be a big presence in the middle.

I didn't realize that Alcoa only lost one player. I would put them second and the Lady Irish 3rd.

CAK and Alcoa will probably be 1 and 2 again. That district final last year still hurts some, LOL, but it was a great game to watch.

Probably so but Brittany Scott (Sr.) from Catholic is averaging 18 ppg in the Sole to Sole and she's consistently hitting her outside shot. IF and I do mean IF she can carry that over to the season (she was scoring points for the Irish during the summer camps too) and with Hanna and Hope Hopson (both Seniors), DeLaney Lowery (Sr.), Susan Kenny (Jr) and Allie McLaughlin (Sr.) back the Irish could be a contender (that's a lot of size but not much speed). However, Alcoa was the one team they didn't match up with at all last year. And CAK is loaded. So third place is probably where we could/should finish. With so many experienced seniors it should be an interesting year. Injuries have truly hurt the careers and success of some of these ladies it would be nice to see them go out on a positive note. Scott has had two ACL surgeries and broken her right foot twice, Hanna Hopson has had two ACL surgeries on both knees, Kenny has had surgery in both feet, Lowery played on broken foot last year. Then their bus flips over on the way to regionals and girls broke bones ugh! So something good has to take place!

I still can't believe the bus wrecked, even though those roads up in Gatlinburg are easy to drive off of. Alcoa will be good, but if you can catch them on a night when the shots aren't falling (like Pigeon Forge did), then they're vulnerable.

    • 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.
