Best rivalry in Knoxville this week...Bearden v Farragut.  Farragut is coming to Bearden 8-0 but with a couple of key injuries.  Bearden is 6-1 coming off their bye week.  Don't know about their injury status.  Bearden hasn't beaten Farragut since 2012.  (Best high school game I've ever seen, BHS came from behind and won in 3OT). 

What's the thought on this game?  Who's your money on?

Well, it is a rivalry game I guess due to the proximity of the schools, but Farragut usually has the upper hand in the series.   Now and then the Bulldogs can jump up and bite however.   If Farragut doesn't play well, that could very well happen this time, as the Bulldogs are a pretty decent team.   Farragut needs to stay focused and play like they are capable of playing.   If that happens, I see Farragut winning this game comfortably something like 28-10 or 35-14.   The score may also depend upon whether or not Farragut's starting QB can play this week.

I hate that this game is during fall break. And with likely no changes to Region 1's membership for the next 2 year cycle, I suspect the region schedule for all teams will remain constant.

Erik, it would be better if it wasn't during fall break.  So much school spirit goes into this rivalry, with the whole Farragut Farmers thing, so it would be better if school was in session.

Also Erik, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your broadcasts, along with your color guy, whose name I forget.  I don't like in the Knoxville area anymore, so my connection to the program is your broadcast and the streaming service.  You guys do such a great job and I really enjoy it!!!

As it turns out Region 1 teams will redraw for their region schedule over the next 2 years. So maybe that will work out better where the Farragut-Bearden game is concerned.

Thanks for the kind words and for listening. Tonight we've got a 1-hour pregame show (lots of series history stuff early in the hour) that will begin at 6 pm ahead of the 7 o'clock kickoff.

    • QUICK UPDATE -  First, I see a lot of wrestling names that I recognize on that GoFundMe.  THANK YOU so much for helping this family.   After the long surgery on Sunday morning to repair his neck, Jacob suffered a collapsed lung.  Sometimes this happens after long surgeries.  They had to put him on a ventilator to get his breathing back on track.  He came off the vent on Monday morning and they put a BIPAP on him to help control his breathing.  As of today, Thursday, the BIPAP came off and he is breathing well on his own.  He is working towards drinking a glass of water and hopefully eating some solid food at some point in the near future. Jacob can "feel" when someone touches his legs, but there is still no movement.  His parents are beginning to prepare for him to be moved to the Shepherd Center in the next few days.  He will be there in Atlanta for 30-45 days.  Im sure he will receive excellent treatment. Please continue to pray for healing for him and if you are so moved, please contribute to the gofundme link above to help in any way you can.  The go fund me is doing well, but this is going to be a very long road for these guys Im afraid.. Thanks again! Sells
