Attendance -round 1

I was wondering how attendance went at round 1 games. My thoughts:

Melrose @ Covington- Melrose only had a handful of spectators (20 to 30) including their band. For a similar game at our place 15 or 16 years ago, they tailgated and packed the visitor stands. Covington had stands that were 2/3 full (less than most home games). Weather was rainy and chilly. I think the weather and the matchup cut into the crowd.

How about your game?

Same for the Greene Devils 

I'm not sure even the most die-hard fans would have braved that miserable weather and driven all the way from Chattanooga to see what they most certainly knew was not going to end well. At least in Greeneville it was Senior Night.

Nobody wants to pay $8 (even the Home winning fans) to see these watered down non interesting way over matched 70% shouldn't be in playoff games, with most the possibility &/or likelihood of a running clock(TSSAA brass certainly couln't run an effective business). !st round will/should be free admission if they keep this up. Alabama fans are even smart enough to pass(stay home) rather than go see em play Mercer. Can you imagine paying $8 to see DHS(UCF) play Memphis East & their potent 12pts per season offense

Good point on the running clock. Ours was 35-0 in the middle of the second quarter and the clock ran from then on. I think both teams were glad to get out of there, and our fans were happy to win and go home.

I'm not sure why this bothers you so much. Try imagining you are a high school senior and get to play just one more game, no matter how sorry the match-up. I agree there are perhaps teams from other regions that have better records but until we have some sort of "wild-card" play in game for small regions or a complete overhaul of the system, we are playing the hand we are dealt. Just stay home until you find a game worthy of your 8 bucks.

    • 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.
