Check again because they do include NE TN on the regional weather report and will see Johnson City weather on local Knoxville News Stations. (Doesn't mean I agree that they should be).  Greeneville is I guess in no mans land since Knoxville covers us (Even though we are NE TN) and Tri Cities doesn't.   The same Knox News paper has Knox Central ranked #2 ahead of teams like Maryville and Knox Catholic.  Anyone that actually knows football will tell you that man is an idiot who did the rankings. This is coming from someone who pulls for Central in 5a and have since they moved to 5a (Central's new head coach is a Greeneville Alum).  

Pretty easy for me to see the tricities networks and papers should cover the Devils atleast equal to the southwest Virginia schools they cover7814px-Map_of_Tennessee_highlighting_Greene_County.svg.png

Seems like the local reporters would go back to the old days of the Lost State ,where Greeneville was the capital and a few other pretty good teams were considered to be in NET.Counties-of-the-State-of-Franklin-1786.jpg

Swipes is right, Both Greeneville and EHS played up for years. For a while EHS was in the same class as DB/Science Hill before going to 3A where they actually were supposed to be. I think a lot of people don't realize that Greeneville were beating teams they weren't "supposed" to beat for a while due to everyone just assuming Greeneville was playing in the class they were supposed to be and not realizing Greeneville was playing up that much

That’s why Greeneville and EHS have always had respect for each other.  Both towns are very similar and where  never afraid to play anyone even if they were twice their size.  Looking back to the 5 classification system I believe there could  have been some more state title in Greeneville if they had played in 3a where they were suppose to be than staying moved up since the early 90’s. Same could be said about Betsy especially that 1998 team that lost to Maryville by 4.

    • 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.
