IF, and that's a big if, York were to beat upperman AND CM were to lose to Smith, then the tie between CM and York wouldn't matter as they'd play each other in the first round regardless of seeding. They'd both be the 4-5 seed.[/quote

 

They changed the tournament bracket this year. 1&2 seed get automatic dbl bye.

3-4 seed get a single round bye. 5 vs 8, 6 vs 7 in round 1.

 

5 v 8 (winner plays 4) (winner plays 1)

6 v 7 (winner plays 3) (winner plays 2)

That's news to me. That's stupid though IMO. The first and second seed automatically get to skip two games of the tournament and only have to play one game to the get to the ship? I understand rewarding the first seed but giving first AND second two game byes it absurd. It also eliminates the chances of a bigger upset early on. Terrible way to do it. I liked last year's format where first seed got a one game bye and then 7/8 played to get in to the tournament. That's a fair reward to first seed and an extra incentive to not be 7/8. Also, this new format would eliminate the whole "one win and you're in region tournament" thing. Is it just the final 4 teams in the tournament? So 1 and 2 are automatically in region? Ridiculous. Let the boys play.

central magnet just finished 3rd place. What an incredible feat. 3 yrs ago this team had never won a district game. If that's not coach of the year, I don't know what is.

I'm not a big fan of the coach but I agree Coach of the year. I was told tonight that the new format for the district tournament was voted in last year by the coaches. This format gives the lower seeds a better chance to advance than if 1 vs 8 and 2 vs 7. Like it don't like it that was the reasoning I was given.

DidCentral beat Smith. If so then I believe the tie breaker goes to Livingston due to the head to how each team faired with York.

You are correct because the tie breaker is record against common opponent and Central split with York and LA swept them so LA gets the 3 seed and Central gets the 4

Rock, why not a fan of the coach at Central?

Seems like he is doing a good job if in 3 years they have come that far.

Your kid play for him or something?  

No I do not have a kid that plays for him or ever has. Mine plays against him.  Strictly a personal issue. Make no mistake I'm not saying he is not a good coach but I have limited experience with him. I did agree he was a contender for coach of the year. Just hard to beat coach Welch at Macon going undefeated in the district.

I understand yours received a couple of awards today.  Congratulations, very well deserved!

    • 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.
