If starters are healthy, play business as usual. I would treat it like every other game. Same prep, same philosophy,  believe in your program and system and work your plan. Trust your training.

Agreed! No need to change the plan now. Should be a fun week of practice. Hoping for another injury free game and safe travels for Claiborne County players and fans. :thumb:

Tough question Slant .I like getting the starters some work and building depth in the second half.You know it is hard on those seniors on their last rodeo who want to enjoy every minute of playing time.When you have a team like Alcoa who can play their whole bench and still be competitive with most teams,it's just another nice problem to have.I look forward to seeing you guys bring another gold ball home in a few weeks.

Thanks Bat! When I started this thread I thought maybe some would take it the wrong way. No disrespect was meant to be directed toward the Claiborne team. Unfortunate for both teams to be put it this type situation. However, you deal with the cards that are dealt. I’m absolutely sure all the young men are cherishing every minute. Im pulling for Greeneville to get it done as well. :thumb:

Thanks.As I've said many times,we have a couple of teams on this side of the bracket that still have my complete attention as a threat and a couple on the other side.I'm the same as you,no disrespect to the other teams but it would be a shocker for either of us to lose this week.Not impossible but outside of some rules forfeit or freak thing,it's very unlikely

If Betsy hadn’t moved up to avoid Alcoa...Region 1 would have been a bit more interesting.   However, they ran into Greenville instead...:-D

Region 1 AAA needs another team-(I think they have six).  

As for Claiborne vs Alcoa-Sucks for both teams.  

 

Betsy has the opportunity to step up and play Alcoa the next two years. However, I’m hearing Witten isn’t going to accept the invite.......;)

I’d be shocked if he did.  I’d be there watching if it happened!

I think you and ALL of Alcoa would be watching. Funny how everyone wants to bang the Tornadoes schedule, but when the Alcoa haters team phone rings they never want to play. Or, they simply jump classifications. :lol: Always enjoyed beating Betsy.....:thumb:

    • 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.
