Junior Quarterback Cole Copeland Bradley Central. This season he has 2400 yds. passing for 24 touchdowns. He has also rushed for 800 yards and 16 touchdowns with a 68% completion rate. His high game was 31 of 41 and 464 yards on the road at Dobyns-Bennett with 5 touchdowns passing while also running for 122 yards and three scores as well. He has helped lead the Bears into playoffs with 7 victories. 

 

As a sophomore he accounted for 30 touchdowns. Pretty good credentials to be considered for the 6A Mr. Football award.

More on these players, who compete in Class 5A, beginning with Farragut defensive end/ tight end Cole Strange (SR).

 

Oak Ridge head coach Joe Gaddis (in his 33rd season as a head coach) had this to say about FHS defensive end Cole Strange in the Knoxville News-Sentinel:

“He’s special. He’s the best defender we’ve faced this year, and one of the best defenders I’ve coached against in my career.â€

 

Cole’s dominance at defensive end is all the more remarkable when one considers it’s his first season at the position. Last year, as a linebacker, Cole was Farragut’s leading tackler with 101 hits in 9 games.

 

 

 

Regarding Farragut RB Tanner Thomas (SR), in addition to having nearly 4,700 career rushing yards, Tanner has scored 58 career rushing touchdowns. In 29 of his 30 career starts Tanner has rushed for at least 100 yards. His current streak of 14 consecutive 100-yard games is tied for 6th longest in state history. An earlier 15-game streak is the 5th longest in Tennessee history. Tanner is currently committed to the Ivy League’s Columbia University.

 

 

I should also mention Farragut kicker Carter Phillipy (SR).

Carter is 7 of 10 on field goals this season with a long of 50. For his career he’s 22 of 29 with a pair of 50 yarders.

 

On extra points Carter is 114 of 115 for his career, his lone miss (blocked) coming during his sophomore season. Since then Carter has hit 90 consecutive extra points (44/44 this season), the 2nd longest streak in state history according to the TSSAA State Records page.

 

This year 45 of Carter’s 49 kickoffs have resulted in touchbacks.

 

 

 

All 3 of these Farragut players excel in the classroom and are leaders in every sense for their team.

For 5A, I think Hendersonville has some great lineman. With the tough talent they have played this year, they have played solid at line receiving a lot of rushing yards. The starting right tackle Daly Cull plays both sides and is a threat to any DE or DT. He will always stay on his blocks and never stop moving. There starting center Sam Laws is a two year starter and has a lot of talent. Multiple games this year he has played top talent and has conquered them. He is only 6'1 and about 250 but he is a real threat. You can see through film from Hillsboro that he defeated top recruit Ben Hutch multiple times. That entire line deserves a lot of recognition for the amount of rushing yards they have gained.

    • 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.
