As already pointed out, I meant Hazelwood.  Nice try though.  Courtland had the losses because of their competition.  They were still the 1a state champs in Bama as was Hazelwood in 2a.  I was going from memory rather than googling it.  You should have picked up on Hazelwood being a perennial 2a power back then if you know half as much as you think you do.

Hazelwood was the ultimate powerhouse in the  80’s and 90’s. And they played against some much larger teams also. Even took on Brentwood Academy. Those Goode brothers was indeed good.

Hazelwood and Courtland are actually in the same town. Now it is one school. RA Hubbard. 

I just wish I knew as much as you, sir. One day...

I know the merged.  They were very big in county rivals a lot like SP & Jasper still is.  They are also an example of why consolidation doesn't always mean better at athletics at higher classifications.

Actually, we do.  Poor try that time.  Ga has far more schools in there system though. 

I am talking Elite vs Elite. 

Champions Clash:

1A: Lanett vs Lake Co (Lanett by as many as they want)

2A; Fyffe vs Peabody (Fyffe by at least 21)

3A: Peidmont vs Alcoa (Alcoa by 21)

4A; UMS Wright vs Elizabethton (This one is a toss up, Id like to see this one!)

5A; Clay Central vs Knox Central (Clay by 30)

6A: Oxford vs Maryville (Another good one, Edge to Oxford)

7A; Thompson vs Insert TN team here (Not pretty)

 

But remember the schools are so much smaller in AL.

 

Id also like to see Maryville try to compete in AL 7A. Sure theyd do ok. but put them in the region Hoover plays in. They wouldnt make the playoffs.

This will agree on. But you dont need 2 district schools 8 mils apart with 75 kids 9-12 each...

I thought they had more the 75 students but they still play 1a ball and picked up a couple of state runner up silver balls.

I was talking perennial powers vs perennial powers as well.  Elite has a different meaning and wouldn't call Fyffe elite, lol.  Alabama has over 800 schools.  Given the population of the state,  Maryville isn't a 7A school though. Regardless, I doubt they would get beat every year.

Well since none of these teams will play I'll give you what calprep has the score's project at.

 

Lake Co 31- Lanett 26

Fyfe 27- Peabody 24

Alcoa 38 - Piedmont 13

Betsy 20 - UMS Wright 17

Knox Central 21 - Clay Central 20

Maryville 28 - Oxford 24

Thompson 31 - Marville 28 . or Thompson 35 - McCallie 28

Looks like Tn teams would be Favorites in 5 out of 7 classes :popcorneater:

    • 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.
