Prepare yourself for TSSAA to find a way to have both West Tn teams on the same side of the bracket. Always happens per the "blind draw"

 

You are so right it never fails, hate blind draw! You have eight (8) teams so it would be easy to mix up west, middle & east teams playing each other! The year they had Humboldt & Manasas playing the first game which was the best two teams! Manasas went on to blow the next two teams out by 30 point including the championship game!

TSSAA cant afford Two memphis teams in the finals they need the travel support of east and middle to support the 3 day event. If you have all memphis left after day 1 you lose money big time.

 

We played Mitchell there two years ago and we out numbered their fans 8-1 easy

Honestly if it's done legally, wouldn't you pull your twin 6-7 sons out of a school if you feel the coach is only preaching run and gun philosophy and not expanding your kids IQ?

Good point and I agree with you. I know Mitchell does things the right way. My point was that this happens a lot in Memphis.

Teams from the same district cannot be on then same side of the bracket. But other then that, it is advertised as a blind draw, yes.

 

Not just advertised, it's truly a blind draw. In the past it has been done with the "bingo" system...ping pong balls numbered with the teams being assigned a corresponding number, and the "exception" being that region opponents are placed on opposing sides of the bracket. You can watch on the TSSAA website (could in the past) unless they choose not to upload this year.

    • 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.
