2016 State Champions- Make Your Pick!

Only one that is a longshot is Greenback. There are six or seven teams that are probably better that will duke it out to represent the west. Peabody, Dresden, Union City, Huntingdon, Wayne Co., Nashville Christian, and Trousdale Co. are all tough enough to make it to Cookvegas if things go their way as far as injuries and lucky breaks go. Then there's the Pirates, who look to be back to form this year...tough row to hoe for Greenback, but they won't have to beat them all...just those who have beaten the rest. 

I think that's why Greenback may win. Greenback plays bigger teams during the early season, scrimmages and jamborees. So they are prepared for deeper teams and yet will have time to recover and possibly an easier road than the school from the west in the playoffs. Greenback has a strong line and a very good RB. Even if they are playing a team with a little more talent, Greenback should be able to control the clock and rhythm of the game. Just my thoughts.

I'd like everyone to make their pick for 2016 State Champions in this thread. It'd be cool to come back next year at this time and see how we do. I'll start by going first:

 

Division II-A: St. George's

 

Division II-AA: Ensworth

 

1A: Dresden

 

2A: Trezevant

 

3A: Alcoa

 

4A: Knoxville Catholic

 

5A: Centennial

 

6A: Maryville

I agree with your picks i think both Maryville and Alcoa take home the Gold Trophy this season.

    • 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.
