I guess you will be able to tell if it's the 5A-6A thing next week when DB and Oak Ridge play. I think you just have poor coaching. Has nothing to do with being a "little 5A team" playing a "huge 6A team" LOL!

Tbf Oak Ridge has been a power for quite some time. Plus they have a great amount of talent over there. I don't think coaching was why we lost tonight imo.

I'm talking overall. Not judging one game. But if you had a better coaching staff you wouldn't of been in the shape you were last night. It's that simple.

I don't know how to post someone quotes so, excuse me. Waco Oakridge benefits been outside of knoxville so, u have alot of people living in the surrounding area that likes knoxville but, doesn't want to live in the descent size knoxville town. Oakridge is basically knoxville kids so u can't count that with your argument against tn high. If db linemans are outweighing, stronger, if db skills positions are faster, more skilled then hpw can that be on the coach. Spectre7 I'm 100% agree they need to end db vs tn high. Db needs to consider playing Greenville that would be a good marquee game. Tn high needs to consider east, or even richlands on the va side. Richlands has a massive following and their a stout team every year.

 

Clinton is outside of Knoxville.

Compton, You are so wrong.  We don't have a single player on our roster who lives in Knoxville, or who has transferred from a Knoxville school.  We have one transfer player this year and he is from Atlanta.  You could not be more wrong about that.

Right. Every single player we have that I know of except for maybe a few were born and raised in Oak Ridge. We have never benefitted from getting "Knoxville players". Our talent has always come from within the city limits, even when we had those great talented teams of the 90's. I grew up with the Bohanon's, Gipson's, and Mcaddley's all through elementary through HS. What a silly statement.

I think K-25 has been leaking for years and that's why Oak Ridge keeps turning out all these good athletes. If you look back, shortly after they sealed that place off is when Oak Ridge started turning out all these good football teams. Is Maryville up stream or down stream from Oak Ridge? I don't have a map handy.

Thanks for everyone educating me on that. Not being from there i just assumed Oakridge, Maryville, alcoa benefited from the knoxville kids. Something you guys might know is db benefits from Eastman company. Parents with good athletic kids jobs are giving to them so their son can attend at db.

uh-oh, here we go!

Like North Maryville. What's the name of that big plant?

    • 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.
