The gate would be good because of Upperman fans mostly. I’ve been around a long time and the only time I’ve ever seen any amount of fans in the stands at a CHS basketball game is when they play White County. Now I’m sure this game would bring more fans in than normal for a CHS home game, however when the venue changes to Upperman high school there would be little support. I do think it would be good though from a basketball perspective and I would absolutely attend. Upperman would win both games this year imo both the girls and the boys. 

I believe the attendance would be great on both games.  And I believe that because it would pull alot of people that don't traditionally attend either schools games to watch that match up.   We both know that the attendance at CHS has been bad over the years.    There is no question about that.  But it has definitely been picking up the past couple years.    Bottom line is the game needs to be played!

I am a basketball fan first and a CHS fan second.  I love the game and when it is played the right way its a beautiful sport.   I watch alot of games and alot of different teams play.   I have watched several UHS games over the years and they are a good team but not the same type of team as they were with Levy.  I don't want to get into a debate on who would win the game because people came out of the woodwork last year when we started that debate.  I will just say this.   In the past several years UHS would have dominated that game on the girls side.   And I think CHS would have dominated the boys game.   Things are alot different now on both sides.     I guess its good that CHS plays a couple 8AA teams this year so we will get to at least have some common opponents to compare.    I hope you come check out a few games at CHS this year.  We have two of the top AAA girls teams in the state coming in the first week of the season.  Season is just around the corner...

I’m sure I’ll be there to watch my alma mater (White County) play CHS. :)  I’ll say this much both Upperman and Cookeville are getting the kids involved at a young age. I’ve started over and have a 3rd grader (girl) going to Upperman and playing. They’ve been playing since September and the kids are starting at age 6 now!

Now it all makes sense.  :grin:  Should be some good games this year.  And yes they start really early.  It’s a year long sport now.

    • 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.
