thanks for the update, sounds liker a good game. Who is the best teams in the district you have watched thus far?

Upperman has a pretty good team, wasn't impressed with their overall play though. W. Cannon and Ryno (LaFever) are not just good, they are consistent, which is what I look for in players. The loss of the Guffey kids athletic ability will hurt them in the long run.  Now, I am just basing that on when they played us (YI).  They only beat us 5-0, on their field, without 3 of our starting seniors (including our best pitcher), and our first time on a field due to weather.  They beat us the 2nd game in 5 innings, but again with 3 starters out and us giving up 6 errors.  I just don't see them beating MCM.  That should be the game to watch this year!  Don't see any other teams keeping up with them as bad as I hate to say that!

UHS hasn't played near as tough a schedule as MCM thus far, so still they are unproven. They have pitching. Cannon and Lafever are as good as any 1-2 in 2a. The Stanton twins are a very good 3-4 and could be 1-2's with a lot of other teams. 5-6th pitchers are Brown and Allison, threw a combine no hitter verse Jackson Co(5-0 prior to the game) and was one batter away from a perfect game. The question with UHS is with the bats. Can the score runs on top pitchers when there two top guys might be off their game? Will be an interesting matchup when UHS plays MCM. The team that emerges from that could be a player at state. Edited by UpperCumberlandMan

DC looks like they're finally getting to where we thought they would be. MCM is tough. Upperman isn't at their level. Central is definitely top at the moment.

if MCM can hit UHS, I don't see the bees keeping up with them. Cannon and Lafever are pretty tough, will be a great series. Dekalb is hitting their stride, but I think they have dug to big of a hole to climb out of.

Don't count DCS out yet, the regular season is only for seeding.  If they get on a roll into the district tournament you never know.  That is true with any team for that matter.  

 

It will depend on how our sophomore pitching develops thru the course of the year, so far so good.  Hopefully our schedule will have us ready for Upperman's pitching when the time comes.

Problem I see with Dekalb is average pitching and average bats.......and Jennings. Not bad, just average. Now, You put Jennings with the 2011-2012 group, wow. I don't think they have the bats to handle 1. Cannon 2. Lafever 3. Stanton 4. Stanton (5. Allison 6. Brown)-no hitter verse Jackson Co. Now, MCM has the bats to score on UH, question is....Can UH keep stride. Edited by UpperCumberlandMan

    • 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. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
