A lot easier said than done! Road sectional games are tough to win and few do it. I am confident the Indians will hold the Dome Court advantage for just 1 more game this season. Looking forward to seeing a great game! Bring a crowd, we can hold all you can bring and then some.

I guess that DB powerhouse program will have to wait another year to make it to Murfreesboro

DB is not a powerhouse program. On a scale of 0 to 100 and between average and "powerhouse" I'd give them 75. Goes back to the coaching hire process. We could of hired a great coach but instead we got a "almost great" coach. A great coach gets you in the state championship tournament and maybe even wins it. A "almost great" coach almost gets you in the state championship tournament. I'm not knocking the coach as being a bad coach or a bad person. I think he is a good guy and a good coach. But as far as ever winning a state championship or even close......It ain't gonna happen. But he is way better than the last three coaches we've had. So I'll take it and be happy with beating up on the local teams here in upper east tn.

Would you rate Buck a great coach?  He never won one at db.

I would agree that he is a good coach but does indeed seem to disappoint in big games.

Yes he was easily a great coach. If you look back at my post I said a great coach "gets you in the state championship tournament". During the time Van Huss was at DB he had the Indians in the State Tournament more times than any other school in the state. People in Kingsport were making their hotel  reservation's before the season even got started. True, he never won the championship while at DB but everybody had respect for the teams he took. He went in several times with the team to beat. Nobody wanted to face him at the tournament.  He once scheduled the #1 ranked team in the Nation (Louisville Male). And went toe to toe with them before losing in the final minute. I think he was the winningest coach in the Nation at any level at one time?  Yeah, easily a great coach.

Good post. Also something to add to your post about Buck was he did win the 1960 state championship at Hampton High when there were no classifications. That was one if his greatest coaching feats considering the size of a single A school like Hampton.

    • 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.
