Lincoln County has a rich tradition in Tennessee high school football. The program started in 1979 and since then has posted a record of 199 wins and 81 losses, that's 72% of their games. Post Season appearances include:

1980 Lions Bowl (Won 21-0 over Riverdale)

1981 Boyce Smith Bowl (Won 7-0 over Franklin)

1982 State Champions (Beat Gallatin 13-10 in OT)

1983 -1986 State Playoffs (Quarterfinalists in 1986)

1988 State Playoffs (Lost to Oakland in Semi-Finals)

1989 Lions Bowl (Beat Overton 14-6)

1990 State Champions (Beat Germantown 25-13)

1992 State Playoffs

1993 State Champions (Beat Riverdale 20-7)

1994-2002 State Playoffs

That's 21 post season appearances in 24 years, with a record of 26 wins and 15 losses. Their 3 State Championship wins came against the likes of Riverdale, Gallatin, and Germantown. All three of those temas are considered as the best teams in State history. Lincoln County has developed 4 Mr. Football winners: David Grogan in 1993, Chad Henderson in 1994, Antonio Manning in 1996, and Jay Thompson in 1997. As of 2001, 57 Falcon football players have been awarded scholarships. If this doesn't qualify a team for the title of the BEST, then something's wrong with the standards.

    • 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.
