3A PICKEM CONTEST

Recommended Posts

Gerry Bertier has always had a #3A pick 'em contest. I don"t see it this year, so I'm going to start one since it's already Monday of the week of the first round games. I shamelessly copied the following from Gerry's 2017 contest. I had a lot of fun with this last year, so let's do it. 

Per Gerry: So here is how it works. You pick every playoff game all the way through the championship game. For the championship game list a final score in case of tiebreakers.

Each round you get more points than the previous. Think March Madness brackets. Remember you must list all winners through the Championship Game. Submissions will cut off at 5 eastern time on Friday. Hope to have a record number of entries this year.

Round 1- 1 pt

Round 2- 2 pt

Quarterfinals- 4 pts

Semifinals- 8 pts.

Championship- 16 pts.

Listen I agree that Alcoa is going to win it all again this year, but lets not forget and act like Covington did not have the ball with a chance to tie the game with about 10 minutes left in last years championship. Alcoa is the better team without a doubt, and is a heavy favorite, but they 100% did not steam roll Covington last year. Covington may or may not make it back to the title game this year, but either way I don't think Alcoa is going to beat them much worse than last year if they do.

“LAST YEAR”.....And the Alcoa D didnt give up 28 either. No problem with picking your team. Just use a little common sense when predicting the score. Geez. :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.
