What a great match-up.  I love Alcoa scheduling these types of games.  I really feel like Alcoa takes this one.  Year in and year out their line play is amazing.  Defense is always tough.  I know DB will be hungry after last weeks let down, but I just think the continuous pounding of the ball that Alcoa will put DB, places them in a situation of loading the box and bam, Alcoa hits them down the field.  Good luck to both teams!

Your right.Being hungry and taking food away from a lion isn't that easy.

I looked over at the useless state polls.All that is for DB besides blowing up some local egos is a bullseye. I wish they had dropped the Tribe on down but atleast the guy giving them a first place vote had to just maybe vote them second or something to keep them in the top five.Might think it's a help but I guarantee you if I'm a contender and see DB ranked ahead of my team, it's going up on a board  for all to see.

Batman there are several good teams in 6a, with Oakland and Murvil far superior to the rest there really isn't any contenders. The players, coaches, fans all know it's looming, and it seems right now whoever host wins. I will say this I knew Db would destroy Mo west so instead of listening to that game I picked Oakland vs Riverdale, I'm not saying Riverdale can beat Oakland in a rematch but that game was basically 9-7 then a broken play right before halftime broke the game open, the rematch could be very interesting between them

What if Maryville and Oakland both have Covid situations once the playoffs start.....  What would be DB's probability of getting to Cookeville?

Nomatter where those 6A teams in east Tennessee are placed in the playoffs,you have to beat the team in front of you first . Maryville is where all roads lead but if you can't get past the other teams, Maryville won't matter.After that, Maryville or the upset team of the world will have to beat a super team  before thinking about a championship game.

Just seen you post,I would then go by my last post.If you can't beat the other teams, Maryville or Oakland wouldn't matter.

But what I'm wondering is if Maryville/Oakland were hypothetically eliminated due to Covid so that DB would not have to play either one, then how does the Tribe stack up against the rest of 6A in order to get to Cookeville?

Well,DB couldn't beat an average team last week so I'd have to check back after three playoff wins.Plus ,who is to say Covid doesn't hit home first or the whole state .I wouldn't count anything as a sure bet right now .

    • 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.
