Good luck Bradley Central. It's good to see other teams have to play them.  :)Their presence at the Ladies Classic in Greeneville has always given the tournament a great deal of prestige. Amy Geren, Paige Redmon and Rhyne Howard were fun to watch. Howard is making a splash at Kentucky. Not a surprise.

This link may be familiar to Bradley fans, but I thought it might be interesting for those not as familiar with the team's great history.

The Bearetttes won their 1st round game game 40-35 over Beaverton, Oregon, the #1 ranked team in Oregon. They'll next face Highlands Ranch, Colorado, the #1 ranked team in Colorado on Thursday at 10:00 Arizona time. 

With a 2-2 record I doubt that Beaverton is the #1 ranked team in Oregon.

One good thing about the Bearettes is that you won't have to worry about their behavior when they are out of town. It's a part of the Bearette legacy that tradition and pride take precedence over personal satisfaction. With our coaching staff and young ladies there are no worries. 

Wow, what a pious attitude!  And if you think the Bearettes have been lily-white when they've been out of town, you're delusional.

Beaverton, OR is the #25 team in Oregon according to link below.  Last season they were 24-5 and #10 team in Oregon according to MaxPeps.  Either way Bradley wasn't playing a scrub team and its a good win.   Bradley is a very good team.

Howard could very well be rookie of the year in womens college ball. So much talent comes out of that school to to not have more banners than we do hanging in the gym.

IIRC, they did not win a state title during the time Howard was playing at Bradley. The team was/is deep in talent. Maybe this year?

So a couple of things:

One, the slight towards Cleveland in the post about the behavior is slightly out of line. This could have happened to anyone, and I feel so sorry for those coaches and athletes who have had this reported on in a smaller media market, that continued to get reported on until the decision by the activity council. We were all teenagers at one point and made some mistakes so the best thing for everybody is to move past that and give those kids some forgiveness because they don't need to be judged more than they already have.

Two, Beaverton (Ore.) was number one according to the OSAA at the time. The state association there goes by an RPI ranking, and because the two teams they lost to were out of state in Washington, and their two wins were against Oregon teams (Tigard was #1 when they played while Beaverton was #3) and won they jumped to #1. They are currently ranked two in the RPI ranking after going 1-3 in the Nike TOC. Below is the direct link to their team page on the OSAA website.

Three, Bradley ended up going 3-1 and taking fifth place in the second tier bracket out of seven brackets. They were in the highest bracket out of the teams from Tennessee and lost to a very good Highlands Ranch team who went on to take third place. They did pretty well in Phoenix. They are a tough team who is deep and you never know who is going to step up and be the player for that game, making it hard to prepare for but fun to watch.

Fourthly, Hohmaster. Really? Why must you consistently get on these boards and talk down the Bearettes and their head coach? You do not know those girls or the people who work with them every day. If you were to ask anybody who is around them on a daily basis you would hear nothing but that they are great kids who work hard and play hard for their coach. 

Lastly, thank you Americal198 for the link to the Bearette website. They have worked hard to revamp it and make it look clean and easy to read. The history is fascinating and it is a lot of fun to see the continued success of a storied program who has an all-time record of 2,212-488-9 for an 85 percent winning percentage. They are the winningest program boys or girls in the TSSAA and they continue that story with pride and grace while also honoring the history.

I went to the Greeneville Ladies Classic last night for the first round. I missed the early games, but believe some great teams are playing this year. None greater than Bradley's teams of the past. You all will be missed and we hope you will return next year or in the near future.

Your points are all well taken and serve as a good reminder that these players are still kids—as we all were at one time.

      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.
