I'm with Barney the only thing any band is good for is playing the fight song after a touchdown and of course their half-time show. And I do give DB credit for having a great band. But they are just  playing music at a FOOTBALL GAME!!

Haven't seen Oak Ridge's band this year but they usually aren't much. But they're ours and their parents come to see them. Makes the gate larger .... money rules.

Love'em or hate'em the band is one of the many things that make Friday night lights so special.

What I saw was a 63 yard TD pass in the 4th quarter... while up 36-3. I think that proves my earlier statement. 

Starters played till the mercy rule. As well neither teams like each other at all. We will beat many teams this year badly and our guys will need much action. That was with over 7 minutes left in the 4rth and starters were pulled after that. Don’t be jealous over the champs. 

Glad they got the mercy rule. The clock ran continuously and we got out sooner lol

Most coaches will play starters in a big game or against a very talented team until the mercy rule goes into effect.   You have to have 35 points or more for the mercy rule.   36-3 is a 33 point difference.  If it proves your point then good for you!

I’m not jealous. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Greeneville has a great team. I just don’t think I would have the starters in at 36-3.  What happens if Ballard goes down while throwing that 63 yard touchdown that means nothing? I also wouldn’t be throwing 63 yard passes up 36-3 half way through the 4th quarter, but that’s just me.

Perhaps they will early, but I’ve also seen it end players’ season when it was unnecessary. I understand the rules and basic math as well, it’s just not a risk worth taking IMO. Also, as far as what most coaches do, I’m not so sure about that and I’m certain most aren’t throwing deep passes that late in the game with a “33” point lead.

Well Coach Ballard has 3 Titles in 8 years and a fourth coming this year so whatever he’s doing is working lol

Greenville scored 43 points. They could of scored 70. They went easy on DB. Ballard could of thrown a 63 yard pass on every possession if he wanted.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
