Centrals defense has looked pretty weak so far! Could be a big day for the Cougar offense.

 When you give up 165 points in last 3 games it's hard to make a case against that point. Now, how many of those points came off turnovers and special teams could be an argument. Regardless giving up an average of 55 points regardless who you are playing is a lot. Albeit by the numbers, they improved each game. 

Has Copper Basin beaten a .500 or better team this season?  At a glance it looks like they have benefited from a fairly easy schedule.

Fair point, they have had a pretty easy schedule to this point. Like I said before y’all have a tough last few games, that the Cougars would have probably lost as well. Polk County has a very weak offense and the Chargers allowed 25 points against them. Either way the game this week should be a good one. Going with my Cougars for the win!

Tellico is 3-4, two of those wins being Sequoyah and Polk so take that for what it’s worth.

Going for Basin in this one.  The more wins we each have, the better the atmosphere will be in Copper Hill for the last week of the regular season.  I think the Davis Chargers may pull it out though.  I may change my mind by Friday though. 

It will be a close one.  

It should be a very good atmosphere for when the Pirates and Cougars fight it out!

Couldn't agree more. Even if they lose to Basin they can still make the playoffs by beating Signal and Brainerd.  But beating Basin and going into playoffs 5-5 would look and feel much better. 

If Central loses this game it will be really tough to beat Signal, I would say they are better than Copper Basin, they played Red Bank and Loudon pretty close, I think Central will beat Brainerd.

You are correct. If Central loses the next two I don't know if the motivation will be there for the Brainerd game.  This Basin game will tell a lot as far as improvement and motivation.

Wonder about CB's line play on both sides of the ball??

The line is very young, we’ve only got one senior on the offensive line and one senior on the defensive line. Two Freshman start on both the offensive and defensive line. They have looked solid to be so young!

    • 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.
