Great victory for the Cats tonight. Came out and took care of bizness. I don’t see us beating Catholic, but we’ll lace ‘em up and give it a go.

I agree and love winning any game.I will never take winning games and district titles for granted.AndIm ready for the Catholic game because it will be great to see if we can hang and play with the best.I think Catholic is as good as any team we would face in playoffs.Houston seems to be really good but I wouldnt think its a big difference.I remember watching KC vs IMG and I was more impressed with BJ Edwards than Jaden Springer.Edwards is a heck of a player

Fair enough, but you did insinuate that we’d have a better chance at winning state if we played either in the regular season. Yeah, I’d love to see it too, but like I said, I understand why it doesn’t. We had a very tough road both years we had our chances to win. Not much you can do about that. And that’s great about Bearden but we played East in 16-17 and almost won without arguably our best player at the time. Neither of those East teams Bearden played were as good as the East team in 16-17, IMO.

That East team in 16-17 was unreal.I wouldnt swear to it but I thought they was ranked 2 in nation when we played them.They had beat Montverde Academy twice that yr.Montverde is always unreal and that yr they had RJ Barrett,L.Black(UNC),M.Carr who is avgs about 20 a game at Minnesota.One guy is at Gonzaga and just about the whole team from top to bottom goes D1 every yr and East beat them twice.That A.Lomax was a heck of a player

Personally, I am impressed with individual Catholic players. However, I am more impressed with Oak Ridge as a team.

This is why I am going to go with the Wildcats in a game kept in the 50s...OR   57    KC    54.

Catholic won 70-58. Catholic’s two leading scorers BJ Edwards 20 ppg and Blue Cain 17 ppg average 7 and 5 assist per game, sounds like a team to me especially on defense. Oak Ridge is a very talented team. Good luck the rest of the season.

Too bad we let y’all have that 10-0 or so spurt to pull too far ahead of us! Before that it was a awesome nip & tuck game. I was pleased with our performance overall though. Great effort by both teams. Catholic is extremely talented and deserved to win. I could definitely see them bringing home the gold ball again. Best of luck.

I’d love to see a home and home series with Oak Ridge every year. In the long run, I think it would benefit both teams. Seems like we just travel to you guys every time. Maybe Aaron needs to check Google maps to find Cedar Bluff. LOL

The last time I went to Catholic gym it seemed quite small, especially for a game of that magnitude, if it were to take place in a normal year. From what I seen it may be a good thing they’ve all been held at the Wildcat Arena, but maybe my eyes were deceiving me? A series would be fun though, I agree.

    • 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.
