Through 6 games Karns RB Desean Bishop has a total of 1819 yards.  He is averaging 303 yards per game.  With 4 regular season games remaining, he will need to average 303 per game.  He might get a 5th

"HVA has been bad for a while, now." However, they have the same number of playoff wins as your beloved Powell Panthers since 2013. Additionally, from 2013-2020, HVA has 43 wins and Powell has 37. And

What great 3A defenses have you seen besides Alcoa? Don't point out the outliers and make the case that generally the defenses are strong.

Don’t lump all Defenses in 6a as great just because they are 6a like you did in your comment I responded too.  You are the one that lumped it strictly on class. I could name a horrible 6a defense for every good 6a defense you can name.  Like I said it my first response it comes down to coaching and great programs not the size of your school!  
 

Covington and Dyersburg have pretty good defenses out west in 3a.   Better than 6a schools like West Creek, Morristown East, Williams Blount, Hardin Valley etc

About 4 to 5 years ago when Elizabethton was 3A, they had a very stout Defense.

That would have been their 2016 team BC.  Gave up only 13 points to CAK and 17 to the Tornadoes in a 17-14 loss.  (Least amount of points you scored that year including Maryville).  They were the 2nd best team in 3a that year behind you guys with Corey Russel playing QB for them.  Rankin said "We had a hard time up front with them on both sides of the ball,” which is saying a lot since Alcoa always has a strong line

Yes, fantastic team!

This year Karns has played:

HVA (allowing 38.5 ppg)

William Blount (allowing 34.5 ppg)

Powell (allowing 19.4 ppg)

TN High (allowing 30.3 ppg)

Campbell Co (allowing 18.3 ppg)

Carter (allowing 35 ppg)

Lenoir City (allowing 31 ppg)

Knox Halls (allowing 18.75 ppg)

Oak Ridge (allowing 25 ppg)

So I will say this again. I would like to see what he could do against an actual defense. Most average teams would win 7-8 games with this schedule.

Yes, they have done a great job of designing one of the weakest schedules in the area. William Blount has done the same thing but have not been able to bear the fruits of their labor in the scheduling department. But please don't get me wrong, I do not want to take anything away from Bishop. He is clearly an FBS talent (and a great young man from watching his interviews) and is the best player on the field every Friday night in his games; however, he is playing an incredibly weak schedule. This supports the fact that there are several RB's in the area that would most likely eclipse at least 2000 yards (crazy!) if they were given this schedule and the number of carries that Coach Taylor is willing to give him.

Additionally, after Week 1 and Week 2, their defense has not held an opponent to less than 21 points with them giving up an average of 33 ppg over their last seven games. This means that Bishop plays until the horn of the 4th quarter, which gives him even more carries and even more yards. He is averaging 37.5 carries per game. Few coaches would be willing to do that! Again, he's a great talent, even a generational or greater talent at Karns but he is also the product of his situation, as well.

Wait are two of the top three teams with the most points being allowed on their schedule 6a schools?  It Can't be since they are 6a :lol:.

 

All jokes aside Karns doesn't have a strong schedule but other teams know exactly who is getting the ball.  Other RB's in the area would put up great numbers getting the ball as much as he has but doesn't take away what he has done. He would still be a D1 prospect on a better team just not the same gaudy numbers

      I used to think like that many many moons ago.  I wondered the same questions but learned that it is just not that easy.  Hiring assistant coaches can be complicated at times.  It takes a few years for HC’s to get who they feel is right for their system.  Couple that with good assistant coaches getting better jobs at times and leaving your program. More to it than some think.  I think you have a good coach up there and time will tell that story.

      okay.  Like i said initially, it's question we have to ask, but we sure don't know the answer yet.

      You’re right, I shouldn’t jump the gun on it. Hopefully it isn’t related to the sports programs, because it’ll end up affecting a lot of innocent kids who just enjoy playing sports.

      I totally agree but just don’t want to see people jumping the gun by insinuating it was for athletic reasons. Nobody knows at the moment except for those involved in the incident itself and those investigating.

      Bruh, That portion of the post was simply a product of my imagination. Try to keep up.  The real purpose of the post was to rub salt in this fresh wound following FF’s departure to BGA.
