I'm more interested in seeing if we can get a game for our off week. Heard Tom Taylor mention Hanpton again but I doubt that will happen but either way hoping to get that 10th game. 

The Cyclones are hitting high gear right now. It seems like the ball is being spread around and you’re  playing into maturity on both sides of the line. After the COVID hit, I would think Hampton would jump on the opportunity to play up against a quality opponent.

That's the thing. These two teams, according toywhich fans you ask, say it should have happened but A. Witten doesnt want to play. B. Hampton doesn't want to play. C. EHS will only play at home. I've seen all 3 reason for why they haven't come to an agreement but honestly who knows. It'd be the biggest game in the county by far as both have loyal fan bases.

If I might venture a guess.....    Hampton has everything to gain and nothing to lose, while Elizabethton has nothing to gain and everything to lose.      If Hampton wins they beat a much bigger school, if Elizabethton wins well they SHOULD beat a much smaller school.           Every couple of years someone will start a "Why doesn't DB play Hampton?" and it's for the same reason.          Just a thought.............

In case you guys haven't noticed, this is not your grandfather's Volunteer team.     The Falcons are capable of putting some points on the board.      Not saying they will beat Elizabethton, but I predict that Elizabethton doesn't win by more than 40...

Volunteer has improved some what and I think they’ll score a touch down or two.  Cyclones 21+

Elizabethton 49-13. Elizabethton will only play a team that will come to Elizabethton and they can beat easy. Alcoa wanted to play them this past week which was an off week for Elizabethton until covid hit Rhea county so unless the stars lineup no game the 22nd but it is 100% EHS fault they did not have 10 games in July.

    • 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.
