Well said.  I didn't notice any Falcons, but I'm sure you are right.  I did notice several Cornersville people/players that went to the So. Pitt side though.  That's like, I hate Alabama or Florida, but I'm gonna cheer for them when they play someone else 'cause they're in the SEC.  Smh.

Agree SMH with this post. I have several friends from SP. Figured I could sit where I wanted.

4A Tullahoma plays 6A Coffee Co. for the Coffee Pot. Just thought it might be a good rivalry game. Elk River rivalry. 

Agree. I also don't buy the argument that the risk of injury is too high. It all comes down to LC for years not wanting to play out of spite and City not wanting to now that they have the advantage, similar to Texas refusing to play an SEC Texas A&M and then A&M deciding not to play when Texas saw the light. In both cases, it's hard for both sides to agree at the same time that a great rivalry should happen, rather than try to maintain a perceived current advantage.

The City-LC game should happen in baseball and basketball, too, and there's even less reason not to make that happen since games across classes are so common. The City girls recently played and beat Shelbyville for goodness sake.

I would include boy's soccer in that mix as well.  We both have comparable teams.  I know City for years approached LC for a soccer match, but were denied each time.  They only got the green light to play each other in outside tournaments just two years ago, and that's only because LC forfeited a match to City three years ago b/c "we can't play you" and their parents raised a stink with the Superintendent.  justifiably so.

They were talking about last year and no Fayetteville would have not beat Lake County, Huntingdon, So. Pittsburg or Greenback last year. This year a different story enjoy the championship. You never know when the next one will come around.

I disagree. I'm not from City either.

I agree with you on the risk of injury not being a factor. LC might have more players but I would argue the top ones at City are probably stronger and faster. 

I would be surprised if they play in any sport in the near future. As you said, LC has refused to play City for many years out of spite. The LC administration has also tried to burn City with false accusations for years. That isn’t exactly the way to mend fences.

Dont forget a huge push for a Metro government for LC several years back, and the school system was a HUGE factor in those discussions

    • 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.
