Battle for Top Seed in Region 1-6A SHHS vs JCHS

Before the season kicked off I heard a few people over in Johnson City saying this was to be the Hill Toppers "Best team ever". I think I remember reading where someone predicted they would lose to Maryville in regular season (check) but would come back to beat the Rebels in the playoffs. On paper It looks like they should be loaded.  I don't know how many "great teams" they've had but they have had some pretty good teams. So that raised some eyebrows. We're 7 games into the season, when is this great team going to show up?

Not long ago I would have picked the Hill to mop the floor with Jeff Co.     After seeing the game yesterday against Boone I can attest that the Hill has athletes all over the field.    However, I'm not sure what it is exactly but they just cannot seem to bring it all together as a team.    Almost like too many guys playing their own game or something.    They have the athletes to beat Boone 50-0 but really struggled out a measly 3 point win.              I'm taking the Pats in this one.

Blaze everything you said makes logical sense. 7 weeks ago I would have picked the Hill for all the right reasons but those reasons are long gone. So I’m picking the Toppers in an upset.

SHHS has always had the athletes. We went to a SHHS v Murville game in JC several years ago. We watched the teams in warmups, and I told my wife that if I didn't know anything at all about either of the teams other than what I saw in the warmups, I'd have went with the Toppers to win. As expected, Murville blew it open early and never looked back. Looking for reason(s) why SHHS underachieves for the talent level they have every year, I'd guess that like D-B, they lack highly organized, tightly monitored (by the high school staff) youth leagues that develop kids to have the fundamentals like blocking & tackling, as well as understanding the rules of the game and playing without committing needless penalties.

I believe that is a lot of the problem.       Being the 3rd and 4th biggest HS's in the state, DB and SH both have athletes all over the place but neither school seems to be able to put it together when it counts.    Although over the last 15-20 years DB has done way better than SH, but in the end 6A is always going to end @ Murvil.      I wondered what would happen when George Quarles left.... Murvil may have had a small dip but they are pretty much neck and neck with Oakland in 6A every year.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
