Bearden should be interesting to watch this year. They have a young team, mostly sophomores from last year. One senior, two juniors. They've got some talented shooters and some height. They went 12-2 over the summer camps. Even with a new coach, I think they'll surprise everyone.

 

Just looking back at this thread for predictions for this season. Expect Bearden to be contenders the next two years, they're only losing one senior. New coach (great man) had some interesting games, but the players managed to get the job done regardless. New coach, old coach, didn't matter this year, the players made the difference. I don't think they'll beat OR, although they almost beat them in November and were up for three+ quarters, but OR came on strong will likely eliminate Bearden if they do play. Next year, I'd vote Bearden though.
