State champions.

15-0.

They would win 4A or 5A this year. 

Only obstacle they are gonna have is Greeneville twice. 

Haywood, Hardin, or Springfield will be in Cookeville. Dont see any of those 3 beating the Cyclones. 

Greeneville will be a challenge as usual. There are some questions with a coaching change but I don’t expect them to miss a stride. Graduation hit them again but not as bad as the previous year.

I don't think they beat any of the top Knoxville 5A schools, but they probably wouldn't beat the top 3A team in the area either (Alcoa).

5A is always a 1 or 2 team race so it's laughable to say 5A is stronger. As for Alcoa they have our number, as they do with any other team not named Maryville in the state. That being said EHS has given Alcoa their toughest playoff game in recent memory then the next year EHS moved to 4A. I think it was only a matter of time until EHS could pull off an upset, not annually but the gap was getting closer.

I could name about 4 schools in Knoxville 5A that would beat Elizabethton on an annual basis. They will never beat Alcoa, the funny part is Elizabethton finally wins a gold ball and now they're taking all comers???

I agree the gap was getting closer. The 2016 game was very close and competitive. But I think most people would agree Elizabethton moved to 4A because of the Alcoa hurdle.

Thoughts?

Recent history would suggest if you can survive the 3rd round it only gets easier after that. I will say this though I was impressed by Nolensvilles team speed on defense. If they have that caliber of a team next year they would be a tough hurdle on the road. Not sure if they got booted to 5A yet or what happened there.

Nolensville will definitely have to move up next reclassification (whenever that ends up being).

    • 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.
