I've not looked at all the possible playoff scenarios for 6A but every conference game is huge this year as always.The biggest thing DB can accomplish at Alcoa is just getting better against great competition while trying  to avoid another game like the first two.I'm usually not a moral victory kind of guy,but not getting smoked would be a great game against this years Alcoa team.The guy that scheduled Greeneville and Alcoa for this year,probably should have just done a one year deal when DB was somewhat loaded last year.

Yeah   I think a lot of people have always thought that the years when DBs schedule was somewhat weak (when they played a lot of local teams) that it hurt them come playoff time. So hopefully playing this type of schedule helps them prepare for making a little deeper run in the playoff. That's always been part of the discussion "DB goes 10- 0 and loses in the first round every year". Maybe eventually that won't be the case. Several years ago when they were in the Big East conference with some of the big schools down the road they had success. I think they won that conference something like 11 out of 12 years and actually made a couple of deep runs in the playoffs (quarterfinal or semi finals a couple of times). That conference was fairly strong and they would also play at least one good game outside of the conference. Somebody like Oak Ridge. I think it made them better. My hopes are that if they continue playing this type schedule that we will see some deeper runs in the playoffs. Maybe not this year but soon.

Except what they need now is a few coaches that can coach defense.

I don't think they can beat Alcoa but the other 2 game are possible. Farragut on the road is tough but from what I saw from Farragut last night a win is possible. Bearden in Kingsport is very possible. If things go the Indians way a little then 7-3 is not out of the possibilities.

Science Hill and Sevier Counties quarterbacks were not very good throwing the ball. DB's secondary did a pretty good job of defending at crucial times against Science Hill but Sevier Counties QB couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Sevier Co. had receivers running wide open on half of their plays Friday night but their QB either never saw them or he over threw them by 10 yards. Lets face it, Science Hill and Sevier Co. are not very good football teams. Farragut and especially Bearden will torch DB's secondary. And both have good defenses so I don't think running Hicks 30 times will get it done. Alcoa is probably the best team in the state, all divisions. Their QB lit it up against Maryville, he'll have a easy time with DB. Just the truth.

Appreciate it WaCo!

I see that comment from you quite often on here. Do you have someone in mind?  If you are talking secondary coaching i'm not sure I've seen many High school teams around here that can play good pass coverage. There might be some teams with good secondary's but it's because they just have some really good athletes (speed, speed, and more speed). As far as defense as a whole there probably are some good coaches around. Don't know that I can name any off the top of my head.

If you can pressure most HS quarterbacks you can protect your secondary weaknesses. If not, a good HS quarterback will eat most teams up.

I have all the respect in the world for Alcoa, for a small school they are beyond incredible.   But at the same time I just refuse to accept that a school the size of DB's band is going to shellack the Tribe.    DB had a couple of games to work out the kinks but have since outscored the last 2 opponents  to the tune of 79-21.     Kingsport is back on the 6A map.   Alcoa, you're next.   Tribe takes this one 26-24.     For those doubting Thomases amongst us, I'll go ahead and save you the time, you can just cut-and-paste this response:    "Oh come on blazer, you have been drinking too much of that Booneshine, the F5 Tornado is going to absolutely shred that whatchamacallit team from Kingsport..."

    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
