who says DB will make it to the Maryville game? And if they do it's going to be more of the same. A lot of changes will have to be made in Kingsport for that game to ever be competitive. 

This... unless Bearden beats Johnson City tonight and gift wraps the 1 seed to D-B, then I think the Tribe, sadly, will be one and done.

Trump win they play, Biden win they don't

DB offensive coordinator is Alcoa's MVP tonight.  That was hard to watch.  He completely took the game out of his QB's hands.

If Biden wins basketball will be the least of our worries. Civil War II.

I have said this for many years now and will stick by it until proven otherwise:    Football in NET is not taken seriously*.    I just do not see any teams putting year around work into building championship football programs.    All of us fans get excited at certain points in the year and think "yeah, this year it's going to be different, we've finally turned the corner..."      Uh, no we haven't and never will.      NET football is complacent and satisfied with mediocrity, finish > .500 and call it a good season.   Or run the regular season table and an early playoff exit, oh well there's always next year!     Or "our middle schools are beating the daylights out of everybody, just give it a couple more years....."

What causes this and what can be done to change it?     Is it all on the coaching?      Are the players not giving 100% on every down?     Are there guys roaming the halls who could roadgrade Alcoa's defensive front but due to political crap they don't even try out for the team?      Or are we, the fans, partially to blame for accepting mediocrity as a way of life and not demanding more of our school systems?        This is a philosophical discussion that should maybe be on its own thread, none of these comments are leveled at DB exclusively, I'm hitting against all of NET.             Well enough said, let's get ready for basketball season.........

*  disclaimer: This is a 5A/6A thread, Greeneville and Betsy are 4A, Hampton/Cloudland 2A, etc.

So what you're really talking about is two schools. Science Hill and Dobyns-Bennett. It all boils down to coaching. It's always coaching. Two schools that size and with the athletes both have?  I'm not going to go into all the reasons (and it's all connected to coaching). We've talked about it for 10 years.

No, I include the NET 5A schools as well, none of them take football seriously.    For instance, tonight we will get a win over Cherokee and then go down to Knoxville next week and be one and done.   But hey, we made the playoffs so it was a good year, now get those roundballs out.

      If an attorney sees enough merit in the case they will take it and only collect if their client wins. Happens in civil cases all the time.

      Groves got the ball over 20+ times. His son arguably played the best for East in that game. 3rd and long multiple times and he came up big to continue a couple drives. Please shut up for the 3rd year in a row

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
