Just so you will know, go to the top right of this page ... right beside the box that says reply to this topic are the words .. start a new topic... click on that and follow the instructions. I'm not being smart or sarcastic cause I didn't know how and someone showed me how, and now I have returned the favor. If you are like me you may not ever start a new topic but we will know how to do it.

Allregion, thank you for your reply and clarification.  I was only considering our bracket, which is my bad. I am also making the assumption that OR could have beaten Central. This assumption comes from season record, schedule a day score of a common opponent Knox Catholic (a private school) OR could have been elimated in the first round in another bracket. We were pretty darn good by year's end. Thanks for making me reevaluate my thinking.

If we’re being honest, my response was probably a little slanted because I have a bias towards a school on the west side of the bracket. I appreciate your candor, and I have to agree with you. Oak Ridge IS the best public school in the East side of the bracket. My comment was just due to the schools in the West. I think Oak Ridge would give Hillsboro, Beech and Henry County a very good game, but they could also easily get beaten by any of the above. Those four schools (and Brighton, but they didn’t have a give a very good showing last night) are all very evenly matched. So you could very well be correct. I was probably too quick to discredit a good team.

    • 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.
