You guys playing opening game on Thursday like last year?

NO. Season Opener is a Friday Night. DB has played most Season opening Home Games (for the last 15 yrs or so) on Thursday because of Bristol Race Week. But not this year. I don't think the Bristol Race has enough of a crowd anymore to make a difference in the DB Home crowd.

That's too bad, I was hoping to catch an extra game opening week.

You're right about the race, it is dropping dramatically.

Based on last years opener it probably won't be much of a game after midway thru Q2

Vikings is a good one for you to open with before OR

The schedule shows the first game to be August 18th, Thursday night, which is race weekend.  I believe the game is same as last year, except at home.

Hey DB, your 2nd opponent is ranked #2 in 5A.     You need a solid win against the Vikings to work out all the kinks and get ready for OR, who is going to be very tough on the road.    If you can start the season 2-0 then I think you are in for a very prosperous year.    You had OR beat last year and let it slip away at the last minute.

 

DB 38     Tenn High 6

DB 23     Oak Ridge 21

    • 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.
