Is Oneida going to be the front runner this year? Two Championships in a row leads one to think so, but who is going to challenge?

Oneida is the clear cut favorite here and to be honest just don't see much of a challenge to them in district, of course the test comes when it gets to region where Knox Grace awaits who will be a top 5 team in the state for 2015! But with that said, they have a shot at getting to the Boro if things go right.

Who all does Oneida return? I know they lost at least a couple of good players.

Have a lot of respect for Oneida athletics. If their baseball program is anything like the football program, they should be able to compete with anyone. Class act. Don't give the State Championship to Knox Grace just yet. I believe Rockwood will challenge them for the 3-A crown. We are a young team but we bring some experienced players back. 15 juniors and 1 senior on a team that dresses 22. Rebuilding year for us but we are basically fielding the same team for the next 2 seasons.

Oneida lost 4 players to graduation.  The top pitcher in the District from last year returns.  A pitcher that was awesome his Sophomore year is health.  The middle infielders are back for their 4th year together.  I'd say that it will be a productive year for them, just was not sure how much Oakdale returned, I think 5 of 9 starters, but only one pitcher? is that true?

Any word on the others? Wartburg, CF? OS?

Jellico and SB usually struggle a good bit.... Will they be any better?

I figure that Coalfield will be stronger, but did they not make themselves unable to play in the post season this year as well?  OS is usually pretty stable and Wartburg may have improved.  It would just be nice to see someone from 4-A playing at State.  Been a long time since Coalfiled was there for the District.

Well, the district is starting to take shape. Looks like we all figured right that Oneida would be the front runner. Now is OS or OAK going to emerge as second. How is OAK's pitching this year?

Overall talent-wise, Coalfield is #2, even now....just very young, according to an ump that's seen everyone. Think they start eight, 8th -10 graders. They need a 2nd pitcher, just like the others (besides Oneida).... the second district day looks shaky on the mound this year for most. With a year's growth....look out. The Morgan kid is probably the 3rd best pitcher in the district right now... and I think he's just a sophmore. Edited by CAH09

    • 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.
