Pickett County played great tonight. They could have scored as many as they wanted. If they shoot and play pressure defense like that against Middleton, they could come out with the victory. Coach Smith has them playing pretty good. Bouldin had 24 pts in roughly 2 1/2 quarters and was only playing at half strength. Bad timing on her illness.

Pickett Co. had too many of their own Miss Basketball players on the court to VB's one. I am sorry their's was sick but she would have had to score 50+ to make a difference in this game. Pickett was up by 88-56 with 5 minutes to go and started running the clock. They easily could have scored another 10-15 points had they kept shooting, but Coach Smith was not going to allow a score of 100+.  PC hit 17 of 20 free throws. Shot 12 of 21 on threes. Middleton's 33-0 would be more like 23-10 if they played in 7A or played PC's schedule. Last 4 PC games: won 75-44, won 75-46, lost to #2 Clarkrange 57-56, won 95-65...they can beat Middleton!

Was at this game, somehow knew it was would be a wasted trip.  I was looking forward to seeing the Miss Basketball finalist play, she is a player but it is too bad for her she is all they have.  They play in a weak weak weak district and the region isn't much better.  I will say she is a good player, but one player can only carry a team so far.  Sorry she wasn't up to par but even if she was it wouldn't have mattered.

 

Very impressive night for Pickett, their coach definitely had his girls ready to play.  You could tell from the beginning which team deserved to be in that sub state game and headed to state.  Their defense was spot on and that confidence flowed into their offense.  If VB was in their district they would have finished third or fourth at best.  That says it all!

 

Best of luck to PC if they put it all on the floor they will have a shot at winning state!!  Can't wait to see how it finishes for them.

You are correct, Van Buren and Clay Co were pretty even this year. 7A's fourth place team.

    • 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.
