23-7 and Upperman dominated the line of scrimmage. UHS is a little low on numbers from previous years, but very big up front and a hard nose running back. Their defense will flat out hit you. Great win verse a 6a team from a powerhouse 6a district. 

Thanks UCman

Cookeville is a little down but UHS played great and is very well coached. 

I watched Sequatchie play South Pitt tonight and final was 19-0 Pitt! Sequatxhie has a big running back that hard to bring down but Pitt stopped them pretty well all night! Caine is a good coach and I would not expect any less at Upperman! What offense did Upperman come out in???

Upperman played about 20 percent in the traditional UHS spread with 4 wr, and 40 percent in a power formation with an extra OL in and a fb. The other 40 percent they played sorta a spread but with only 3 wr and a big h-back in the backfield. Rb ran for 164, team over 200 rushing.  Probably had about 150 passing added by a 65 yard toss and run completion. Pretty balanced but a Lil more run leaning, but a good mix.

Fill us in man

After watching Upperman for a few years now, they've had some good offenses in the past, but the thing that stood out was that this may be their best tackling team I've seen.  They were in good position and were able to finish with good solid tackles.  They let the quick back from Cookeville get loose once.  He didn't score but it was the big play in their scoring drive.  Other than that, UHS limited the big plays CHS had in past games, which was key.  The offense was efficient (don't think they had any turnovers) and was balanced and able to sustain drives.  And, as others have said, Caine is a good coach.

Like I had mentioned before , experience. Uhs dominated upfront, Rb for uhs is insane. New coach had them ready to go from the whistle. He adopted a great group of athletes from Herron and put his touch on them. Cookeville has only a few returners however they still got a ton of athletes. Experience under the lights prevailed.

Former powerhouse district

That district this year appears to be Oakland and Blackman. And I don't think Blackman is gonna be as good as they were last year.

Cookeville lost darn near their entire starting lineup from last year and lost 23-7 to 3A Upperman last night.

Riverdale only returned 6 starters and lost to East Nashville last night a team they beat by 35 last year.

Coffee County didn't have anything last year other than Alontae Taylor and he graduated and went to UT.

Siegel had their best player transfer to Oakland. Last year they beat Stewarts Creek 43-2 and this year they lost to Stewarts Creek 28-0.

Cookeville is down I get that, but they have 2400 students. Dressed what looked like 100 kids. Probably had around 20 seniors. No way they should loose to UHS.

    • 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.
