All the improvements sound outstanding. DB needs to get back to being DB.   That stadium needs to be filled like it used to, and it sounds like it is on its way.   I talked to one of the Anderson County coaches the other day, and he says the Mavericks will return the scrimmage from last fall camp to DB in a few weeks.  That scrimmage was a good one for the Mavericks as it got them ready for a physical Powell team which they play week 1.   I will make that trip to see all the improvements and hopeful to see a big crowd for the scrimmage.   The Mavs have had a very good run, and hope to be a deep playoff contender this season.   

DB still packs the stadium for big games, like against Alcoa.   But yeah, for the most part a lot of people are there to see the band.

At any given home game there is 1500 to 2000 "fans" that don't give a flip about the actual game. Band parents/grandparents, blue hairs, and middle school kids just hanging out.

After watching the 7v7s, the secondary looks worse than before and regressed over the 7v7s.  They looked decent vs Powell but Unicoi torched them twice last week.  Maybe they can get it together over the next month and 3 scrimmages.  Offense looks like it will be explosive -- and it better be based on what I've seen so far.

Hold on a sec.... are you saying that DB's defense got smoked by Unicoi County?    No disrespect for UC at all but they are a 2A school with 760 students.   Had a good season last year but it's not like they are Alcoa....

yes -- Unicoi also lit up Elizabethton both days.  They looked really good.  Real football practice started today so we'll see what happens.

I wouldn't put one cent on what a 7v7 against Unicoi means and I wouldn't put two cents on any scrimmage.What counts is how a team grows from the start of a season until playoff time comes. I've seen DB hold it's own in scrimmages against Maryville but that means nothing in november.I  still remember whipping DB in a scrimmage all over the practice field when I was in high school.Yep, DB lost about two or three games that season and we only won two. Practice is a practice but I would like to see Unicoi and Betsy go at it in pads.

Never know,Unicoi may have a team like they did in the very early days and beat my Greene Devils 120-0 . But,I'd agree and say that's not a matchup they would want .Back to the Indians. Not knowing but just guessing,I'd say it's about time that the Tribe was loaded with talent and I'm not talking in the band because they are always at the top.

    • 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.
