One DB poster seems missing! Where did he disappear to? He's done pulled a MJ GoBers disappearing act. 

I know you don't have anything empirical, but do you think anyone at Maryville takes DB or Science Hill seriously?       Let's just be honest, you guys beat the daylights out of both of them every time you meet.    Sort of like nobody in R2 5A takes any of us R1'ers seriously, and why should they, we can never get past them on a consistent basis.

DB was better this year than in several years past, they had a good defense and an efficient, but not flashy offense.  I think the coaching staff is on the right track, I wonder how much the new school (West Ridge, I think) is going to hurt them?  I heard DB will have to start playing them in 2021, forcing them to drop either Oak Ridge or Alcoa.  I am afraid it will take a long time to get them to the level Maryville is, but of any of the 6A schools around, they have the best chance.

2021..... So is that the latest projection for West Ridge to be open?

It keeps sounding more and more like a pipe dream, so you are probably right.

One thing that interests me, if the new school does make it and eventually happen, it will take South and Central away from 4A and possibly could drop East down a class which would mean at least 2 possibly 3 less conference games for EHS/Greeneville. That makes me wonder who is gonna get realigned

The new school also takes Sullivan North.

Judging from the comments by Coach Christian after the Maryville game I have a feeling he's going to get some kind of control over the city little leagues and middle school coaching. If he pulls it off I think you'll start seeing DB fielding teams that can compete with Maryville 5 or 6 years from now. DB always has good athletes, and they are doing a darn good job of coaching them in high school. The problem is and has been for many years, they don't do a very good job of teaching the fundamentals in the lower leagues. Basically the Maryville players have been playing 5 years longer than the DB players. That's why they look like a college team playing a high school team.

    • 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.
