I think it is an awful decision for EHS to stay in the new 3a. They lose money because the teams in their conference will bring close to noone plus why should the fans go on the road  there are no places to set at the schools except Unicoi. Also all you band people you can have 3 or 4 games off every year. Plus they say South will still be a money game and I disagree I have been to South and EHS games and you could fit everyone on oneside with room left over. This year and last you get crowds because it is for the conference but after this year it means nothing.

I know they are after a state title but if Alcoa moves to 3a EHS is in trouble again. I think they are staying out of 4a because of Greeneville and Fulton. I am sure some disagree but the crowds will take a huge hit at home and on the road and you have to agree with that.

I think it is a mistake for EHS as well but South has always represented well on the road. We still fill up at Boone, TNH, and Gate City and they are also bragging rights only. As long as the Sullivan County BOE doesn't do something crazy after this system wide study they are doing I think you will have good crowds from South.

Losing Ethan and Oldes is gonna be a tough loss but we still have good players. Our line will be losing hardly anyone on either sideof the ball. We still have 3 RBs that will burn youif given an opening. Tyree and the other QB have a lot of potential. I wish we went to 4A because no one wants to see us smash West Greene, CD, Clairborne and no one will want to travel to see those games. We will be in a new stadium next season as well. Staying in 3A is an easy choice if we're wanting to compete for a title. The article, Mike Wilson said it pretty well, T$$AA is all about the $$$. They couldn't give a rat's donkey about the people dealing with their screwups.

That is what made no sense about the article. Elizabethton's football is the money sport and if they move to 4a they will make more money. Playing South, TN HIgh, East, Greeneville, Central, Volunteer and Cherokee would make more money than playing the 3a teams plus a lot less travel in 4a. So I guess EHS is willing to lose money to go for a title?

I have heard that It is in discussion to continue to play boone, south, s. Hill, and tn high. So we play 3a for at least next 2 years, after then we will see what lies ahead. Track you said no one would be traveling to watch those games, I for one will. No matter who or where we play we need to support those kids 100% no matter what class or location. Thats my 2 cents worth. Tab for the majority of the past years when under the "3" classifications we also played up, but the past few years when "6" classes were used we have played where they put us. Who knows maybe Greenville may be on schedule

The reason under the 3 classes they played up was because of the crowds and money. Not everyone can get off work early and drive 2 and 1/2 hours to Claiborne County to watch a 50 point blow out or drive over an hour to West Greene and stand for 3 hours watching another blow out

      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.
