I have nothing against West at all. So don’t think I’m trying to take anything away from what they’ve accomplished. It’s not about if they win the game or not. If they go out Friday and can sling it all over the field to get the win, I’ll absolutely think they can compete for the championship. I’ll admit I was wrong and be pulling for them to bring it home. But if they come out Friday and struggle to throw the ball, I won’t be quite as confident.  If they come out and can throw it but lose the game, I’ll still admit I was wrong. I’m just happy the gold ball has a chance to come back to Knox regardless of who makes it. 

Understand and fair point.

Friday cant get here soon enough,

Go Rebels!

Good luck to both teams.  Both teams used to be part of Region 3 4A back in the  day. A very strong region back then. 

The strongest my friend...I can honestly say as a former player on those West teams we knew we were in a battle every Friday night and we sure felt it the next morning. It was always tough knowing you were playing for third place behind Maryville and Central.

Are Knox/Blount county schools open zone? 

Students in Knox can apply for transfers.  However, they have to do it prior to their freshman year to avoid sitting out a year.  But I feel like you already know that.  

 

However, recruitment for athletics is still a TSSAA violation no matter if it was a "legal transfer" or "open Zone".

    • 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.
