Apparently Coach Bradley being 'fired up' about MP not getting into the playoffs has 'fired up' the MP principle into action.... a link to Coach Bradley's Facebook post on the matter.... https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10155339504974355&id=566079354&refid=17&_ft_=top_level_post_id.10155339504974355%3Atl_objid.10155339504974355%3Athrowback_story_fbid.10155339504974355%3Athid.566079354%3A306061129499414%3A2%3A0%3A1509519599%3A1088286724605330634&__tn__=*s*s-R

 

Who knows?.?.? An "overall" record doesn't get a team in the playoffs, the "Regional" record does and MP lost to 3 out of the 4 team that are in the playoffs they needed to win to get in.... Period... A team has to win the ones that count (Region), and can afford to lose the ones that doesn't (Non -Region).

I think you missed the point, Not complaining about the current rules, they accept that we didn’t win the “right” games, the petition was to give a team the open slot. It was a long shot, but why not take it if you think your team deserves to be in the playoffs. I for one called. The administration fighting for their kids... that’s great.

Wayne County is 7-3... you guys would be upset as well! 

The TSSAA awards 10 champions! Why not give the best teams the opportunity to win it. A system that allows 2-8 teams to compete for a championship is ridiculous while .500 and above teams sit at home cause they play in a tougher region, what was wrong with the last plan? 

WC89 someone needs to stir up the TSSAA. 

Back to topic; GCA hasn’t played the best defense but has an offense that can run. High scoring ballgame is a possibility. Should be a good one

You make a valid point and I would be frustrated as well. But that's the current rules. The funny thing is, if they slid you in and y'all won the east.....would definitely show just how messed up of a system that's currently in place.

i hate it for MTP but like Bigby said. They didn't win games they should have. On the other hand I agree that they are better than any other 4 seed in the state other than possibly Fayetteville. Both those teams would beat most 3 seeded teams. Our region was very tough this year. Most regions allow you to have an off game and you can still win. Off game or two in our region and you went from in the playoffs to getting out the round ball. Plain and simple.

Hate to post on this thread, but have y'all seen where Mt Pleasant principal has sent a letter to tssaa  requesting the Tigers get that open spot in the east against greenback?  What in the world is this guy thinking? I've heard he's got a lot of parents and fans contacting the tssaa. What a joke on top of a joke. 

Everyone knows TSSAA is so far behind the rest of the country it is pitiful. The best teams play for championships, not 2-8 and 3-7 teams. Region 5's top 5 teams would win or finish 2nd in most regions in the state. Unfortunately TSSAA would rather sit on their hands and do less work with region alignments than actually putting a plan together to put the best teams into the playoffs. I for one am proud of the coach and administration fighting all the way to the last second for their kids. If people want to call that a joke, see what your response would be if it happened to your team. Only sad joke is that there is an open spot in the TSSAA playoffs while a 7-3 teams sits at home. That's a joke on top of a joke.

As for this game....I'm expecting a good game. Weather may play a part. Wet field should favor the cats. I'm actually pulling for WC in this one. Hope we both can win Friday so I can meet up with my ole buddy 89 the next Friday night. Best of luck to all and leave no doubts by leaving it all on the field. The real season kicks off in 82 hours and 43 minutes lol.

I like the Mt. Pleasant coach and wouldn’t mind if he moved back to WC when our coaches decide to hang it up, but I distinctly remember him complaining about the Z-plan a few years back in the newspaper. He, like a lot of coaches, didn’t like not knowing who they were going to play or where they might have to go in the playoffs. But guess what? A 7-3 team didn’t get left out of the playoffs in the Z-plan. This is the reason why the Z-plan was introduced to begin with. We had it, but almost everyone complained so much and so loudly, that it’s gone. Now the bottom line is, you finish 5th in your region you’re out of the playoffs. Clear, simple, easy.

    • 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.
