If you would have said the same thing two years ago you would have been dead wrong because no one saw cornersville making b2b finals and whitwell winning this yr. 

That’s your opinion.. We didn’t make that statement at that time because with perennial powers moving up to 2A we didn’t really know who to expect to be good besides Huntingdon.  However, now we have a much clearer picture on the current 1A landscape. Cornersville had a good group of sophomores when they came to SP in 2016. We knew they would much improved, but you are correct I didn’t think they would improve by that much. Both years I figured they were done in the quarterfinals. As for Whitwell, most have said for two years if they were going to ever win it, they better do it.  The teams I mentioned above are the senior loaded teams and I stand by this statement. SP, Greenback, Lake County, Huntingdon. Two of those four will be in Cookeville in 2019.

You are right about those 4 teams and the are the favorites for sure to be in the finals. The freedom prep school Lakecounty1968 talked about could be a school like cornersville. A lot of sophomores coming back with some success and meaningful playing time. And Coach Rice can never be counted out. I played for him and I know how he can get the most out of his players.

They will be tough next year and our LB play will be better this coming year unless they put ????? At Defensive end. He can play both pretty good.

No I didn’t say that lol. But at LB they will be good. We get two back from this past year and the new additions will be good. 

The new additions huh. SP has one new addition that I know of. Apparently he went to school at SP into middle school then went to Marion and now is back. I haven’t heard of any others for the Pirates.

    • 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.
