Memphis East advanced tonight to the championship game of the prestigious City of Palms Classic. This tourney is always loaded with great teams. They will face Montverde for the championship tomorrow. Also I believe they will play Montverde in the Penny Classic coming up in a few weeks.

Would be big for them to win it all. It'll help them get into the dick's sporting good tourney after the season. East plays so well as a team they may not have been the most talented teams at the city of palms but they mesh as well as any team. They were also the only public school to advance to the final 4 so thats a big feat also. Montverde will be a tough one but I can't see East losing to them twice.

I was there for 3 days of the tourney but had to leave the morning to the finals to come back and practice my own team, but East was one of the most well-coached teams down there. They are talented yes, but not overly talented compared to the teams down there. I go down most every year. East & Brentwood Academy along with probably Hudson Catholic out of New Jersey was the best coached teams there. I haven't seen the final game online yet, but normally Montverde gets the benefit of the doubt with the officiating down there. I don't really understand it as they have the most talent and shouldn't get any help but they do. Maybe the officials are intimidated by Kevin Boyle their coach who is very outspoken. Don't get me wrong he is a great coach as well which makes them all the more difficult to beat. I met Penny in the hallway of our motel and introduced myself & we talked a brief few minutes. Very nice person, very down to earth. I was a fan of East after that convo my 2nd morning there.

Good stuff...I figured East will get the calls here so East will get revenge! If you got the chance to see Collin Sexton what are your thoughts??

East loses to Monteverde in the championship game of the prestigious City of Palms Classic. However, this would not be the only meeting between these two stellar high school  basketball programs.

    • 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.
