To tell you the truth I wish they would not have rankings.  It goes to the kids' heads.  This is a good team, but that is what they need to focus on, being a team.  They are just as strong as their weakest link.  These boys got something to prove after a disappointing season last year, and they are looking good.  Although something that stats don't always show is heart, and that's what this team has.

I agree that the polls can get to a kids head but I don't think it's a huge deal. The coaches do a good job of letting you know that you can get beat anytime. On the other hand I wish the program was pushed more publicly. I think if a kid is a top 10 rusher or something in the whole area he should get to be in the Chattanooga Times and get recognition. Also it is really hard to keep up with the program not living in the area anymore because all the information comes from the local paper.

The News Sentinel doesn't give coverage to teams in SE Tennessee east of Cleveland,i guess they assume CB and PCHS don't exist. The AJC is the same way about coverage of high school football in NW Georgia(you have to read about it in the News Sentinel)

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
