Depending on how we play, I may not care if we make it or not.  If we play like the "toughest kids" in the state, I'd love to see how we would matchup with region 2.  If we lay down and get whipped by 40 like we did in 2010, I'll be ready for basketball.  I do wanna wish Uknoit's boy a speedy recovery.  And I want to wish the best of luck to Pujo and 91's boys.  Those are some of my favorite kids ever.  I want to thank them for the excitement we're gonna get to experience thursday night. 

            I,ve taken a liken to those boys as well. LJ and Zac are close,they've been chattin this morning.

Earlier this year I thought it would be Cloudland taking this one. Now I'm gonna have to say Dogs by at least two TDs.

A lot will depend on which cloudland team shows up.  The defense has proven they can be really stout.  They kept Warren Kerly from throwing td's and thats one of the best passing teams around.  I'm not gonna predict a score but I expect a low scoring affair with the ground games being the deciding factor in the outcome.  I've been disappointed with our blocking and play calling the last few weeks.  I'm not so sure we can block the bulldog D.  With that said, the cloudland d can be pretty stingy when they wanna be.  I think it will come down to a battle of wills.  Like I said, it depends on which cloudland shows up.  We know which Hampton will show up because there is no other hampton but the one they put on the field every friday.

No days off after a game? Those kids bodies need some recovery time. I've never heard of practicing the day after a game at any level of football.

Check out Crossfit football and see what they do the day after a game.Actually most in season training programs wants you doing things the day after a game.

Most high level programs with the resources and time have their kids come in on Saturday and stretch , see the trainer, soak in the whirlpool , watch a little film , and maybe have a light walkthrough. I see it all the time. Heck we've done it...minus the trainer and the whirlpool cause we don't have those fancy things. Have a trainer on fri. But not sat.

This may be the game of the week in the state. I like both squads and don't care who wins but there is one thing I really want to see: Hampton or Cloudland seal the deal and get a gold ball to UPPER east Tennessee this year!

Love your enthusiasm, but that's not possible. Cloudland or Hampton isn't going past the third round. Good luck.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
