Nobody is giving the Cherokees much of a chance but they are so improved over last year and they almost beat Bradley last year. They have the best guard in the district, Juan Smith and the best post Dustin Sewell. Then they have several good roll players to help these two out. Don't count McMinn out of the race. Bradley is young and inexperienced. Rhea County is inconsistent, Cleveland's players will be in trouble off and on during the season, so I just think that McMinn MIGHT just step up and surprise people.

sportsphan,

No one cares about basketball in Athens or at McMinn Co. High. You can never get a response from anyone in Athens about their team on Coacht. I bet this will be the only reply to your post just because no one cares. Football has just ended and everybody is just waiting on baseball season.

I do not care one way or another about McMinn County but I do have to reply to the post. You have to give Juan Smith credit. He is a very good basketball player. But there are also several other guards in the district that are also very good basketball players. However, I can't give Dustin Sewell credit for being the best post in the district. This is one of the FEW times that I have even heard his name mentioned. I am not trying to downgrade or hurt this kid at all, but I have to argue that there are other posts in the district that are at a different level. There isn't a better athlete than Charles Little at the post. Zach Wyatt(?) from Rhea is a pretty solid post too. I do not understand your comment about the Cleveland kids. You stated that they would be in trouble off and on during the season. There is a GREAT group of kids on the Cleveland team this year. I haven't heard of any trouble the kids have gotten into throughout the season since Coach Green has been there. As far as last year when you said McMinn almost beat Bradley, the key word in your phrase is ALMOST. No matter how you look at it, a loss is a loss. No one remembers the "almost's", but they do remember the winner and the loser. And you said Rhea County is inconsistant, is that why Rhea County went to the substate and McMinn sat at home?

I stand by my statement. McMinn hasn't been good in bball since the early 90's. Now I agree they may be improved this year, but until they post that impressive winning season this year, there still not any better to me.... About Athens not caring about basketball. That's a fact not a statement. They might support girl's basketball but not boy's bball. Football and baseball rule in Athens. Live with it.

I still say that they are going to surprise people this year. I still say that Sewell is the best post in the district. Sure Little is good but with is attitude probably will be in trouble by the end of the year. Also, Sewell has the experience that Little doesn't. I also think that we have the best point guard in the district. Everybody talks Bradley's. Just wait and see. I said they almost won last year. I said almost because Bradley had lots more talent with Pugh than McMinn. They lost all there players last year. They are young and inexperienced. The two guards that are back were not there best players last year and they are just juniors. At a big school like Bradley that is still considered young. Now at some of the small schools around they have to start even younger than that and by the time they are juniors they are not inexperienced. All I know is that McMinn may just be in the finals in boys and girls.

sportsphan, once again there you go trying to build up your favorite subject, jujuan smith. granted he very well may be the best player in the district but that doesn't give you the right to talk about the other programs negatively. i am a rhea co. fan and i know how hard they work. to call them inconsistent just proves that you don't know anything about them. to talk about cleveland's team getting in trouble is also your opinion and also none of your business. these are kids and even if they aren't from your hometown or play for your favorite team you should remember that. i am really proud of the fact that we boast so many good players in our district. if you were a true fan, you would also appreciate that fact. as for sewell being the best post in the district........let's just say he is not bad but has a long way to go to be even considered in the top 5.

Where is all the talk about the Cherokees now? If you were at the game the Raiders said enough for us all. JuJuan Smith couldn't get his game going because Cleveland shut him down. I still agree he is a good player, but definitely not the best player in the district. As for Sewell, I will just say that you are a bad judge of talent if you think he is the best post in the district. Again, I don't have anything against this kid but he doesn't have the talent that you think. As for their roll players, they must still be trying to figure out their role. Cleveland dominated everything about this game. McMinn didn't have an answer for Trey Sharp or the shooting of Tim Cooper and Jay Davis and Charles Little dominated the boards. But the list goes on for Cleveland...James Cogdill, LeVonte Barber, Aaron Odell, Detrus Graham, Jonathon Gosnell, and Nolen Rumble. McMinn was lucky that Coach Green called of the dogs or it could have easily been a 40 point game. As far as McMinn upsetting anyone this year, sorry but the Cherokees are looking at a long season.

      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.
