I expect Greeneville to beat South Side if they play them by 30+

Bolivar's coach is one of the best, he's been there/done that plenty at Murfreesboro and the tournament atmosphere that affects most teams wouldn't have been a factor. They stayed relatively close to JSS because he's very familiar with the Hawks and what they do, and that could be the case with the Devils too. JSS will present problems for Greeneville that athletically Bolivar couldn't though, and if they come out hot from range, it could be a double digit game within the first three minutes. South Side's speed is tough to adjust to, and Greenville better come out of warm up's with a sweat going.

  If Greenville (or anyone else) eliminates South Side, it'll be because they withstood the runs, and slowed the game down.

JSS is the prohibitive favorite

I'd have to agree, just based on the Greeneville/Bolivar score alone. I'm not usually a "fan" of the run and gun type team...they're fun to watch, very impressive when they have the athletes, but fundamentals and discipline usually eliminates "loosey goosey" teams when you get down to the best in state. In this case however , SS is well coached and absolutely loaded with speed and basketball IQ. If they have a flaw, it's the lack of a dominant big.

Very astute call. Sounds like you've watched a game or two...ha. I'm the same way too, I am a fan of run and gun especially with good athletes, but at the end of the day, it's the small things that puts the team over the top.

JSS can be beat if you don't turn it over. 

They don't shoot it great, they get out of position on D, they aren't particulalry good at blocking out. 

As soon as their points are taken away from the press and TOs on the half court they're very vulnerable.

    • 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.
