 I for one don't blame the Unaka kids in the least. Nothing good can come of it. The school will be punished and rightly so.  Its the people in charge thats allowed them to sink to this level. Unaka has the kids to build a respectable team. Its not like this game could benefit Greenback. An inner squad scrimmage would be much better.

good post, it's sad to see a program in that kind of shape. I hope that they can get it straightened out soon for the kids that does want to play.

but would it be fair to the other kids? We have a girls bball team that looks like they could be pretty good the next couple years. Is it fair if they lose a chance to play post season because of football? They can't control anything football does. I'm certainly not defending the administration, but the kids also need to finish what they started. If there's 11 willing to go play they need to take them.

Agree . TSSAA should not hold the other sports accountable.

Does the penalty affect the girls teams? I've got a cousin who is a pretty good pitcher on the softball team at Unaka. I hate that their football team has sunk to this level, but as a person who played in the days where only the District Champion made the playoffs, I have no pity for them either. I would have given anything to play in a playoff game.

my understanding is it's a 1 year suspension for all sports starting immediately so yes the girls would be effected.

    • 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.
