Stan is very private. Whether retired or coaching elsewhere, I wish him the best. We go back to when he was in college and I was a very young coach 40 years ago. Thanks for the responses.

He is a great man.

My question to this reply would be, how many athletes from Happy Valley, Unaka, and Cloudland are on Elizabethton's roster? 

At any one time probably a handful. 1 or 2 from Unaka/Cloudland. Happy Valley we've had players go there but we've had players from there come to EHS. The school's are about 3 minutes drive from each other so the water's murky there. But the people EHS gets from those schools, while talented like Russell was, don't compare to getting kids from the Knox area. Every team gets transfers etc so I'm not throwing stones about "recruiting" but there are some teams that have more outside talent than other teams do. 

Either way, I see EHS having a decent season, not as good as previous years. I'm thinking an 8-2 season with losses coming from SH and Greeneville. South/TN I could see us maybe dropping one of those though

You guys will win 8 games based on tradition alone.    9-1 is how it ends....

Elizabethton does not play Tn high. Cherokee took their place

Oh yeah, I completely forgot we swapped them out. I haven't looked at the schedule in a while and was just going off the previous years. We also play WB as well so a couple of new teams on the schedule for this season.

    • 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.
