Out of curiosity why did west ridge drop ehs? Or did ehs drop west ridge? 

I don't think either dropped. They were just never scheduled originally. With Betsy just having 9 games, I'm sure they were taken into consideration to schedule,  but West Ridge either already had a full schedule or didn't have the open dates needed to make it work.

From a poster on NC Preps. 

For those wandering heard Elizabethton had said they would play Mitchell early this morning at E Town and at 11:30 backed out saying not enough time to prepare. Obviously something about this Mitchell team made coach Witten apprehensive about playing them. Credit to both Mitchell and Hampton getting this game put together and giving both teams an opportunity to play.”

This is simply not true.  It came down to travel and as you see Hampton was willing to travel and we simply weren’t.

Yeah that makes sense but with west ridge being new and ehs losing south and Central games I had figured the obvious replacement would be west ridge but I know schedules can be a pain to get worked out but it would have been a good game to watch.

That’s what I was guessing. I questioned his post and this was the response.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. I’m guessing Elizabethton doesn’t see many teams run the type offense that Mitchell does. Also last time these 2 played was a JV game that went multiple OT’s and many of the kids on the varsity rosters now played in that game.”

    • 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.
