Does all the decent talent in Scott county go to Oneida to play football? I’ve always wondered that when I’m in Huntsville at Brimstone.

Scott High is sporadic in their talent. Every 6 to 8 years they get a group of athletes and make a run for a 5-5 season. But yes talent that should be going to the county schools ends up at Oneida. Not to mention there is Winfield Elementary which is on the border with Kentucky and Burchfield Middle School which is 2 miles from Oneida High School. It makes a lot more sense for those students on that end of the county to go to Oneida High School. People from Winfield have to travel through Oneida to get to Scott High.

Gotcha. That does make sense.

We've had our struggles, but this team is getting better (and yes we have athletes). Friday night: I'm going 4A over 1A. Throw out the records. They simply haven't played the competition that we have. We've faced adversity this year through covid, youth, and special team miscues. We can't give up 3 blocked punts and win. Our boys know that. Good news is little birdie told me that the twins that just moved in from the Atlanta area will be eligible this week. So, we probably won't be punting  lol. Coach Terry will have the boys ready.

Unless Trey Morrow is playing football, I don't believe Scott will have better athletes than Clay. You may have a bigger line, but the athletic advantage should lie in the hands of the Bulldogs.

Exactly my thoughts  the only thing Scott has over clay county this year is enrolment  but I believe if Scott played in 3a and didn't get moved up to 4a into that brutal division their record would be a bit better 

Bingo! The move to 4A has been a tough transition, but we are still fighting. That's why we get back on track against 1A Clay.

Clay won’t be a push over for Scott. Clay has athletes all over the field and is physical. Just because Clay is 1A doesn’t mean anything. 1A Fayetteville beat 4A Upperman earlier this year. I’m going with Clay by one score in this one.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
