It’s game day!!!! It’s going to be a great day in sports. My nephew plays basketball for the Bees and then a chance for a state championship appearance. It’s a high mountain to climb but that’s why the game is played. Hopefully, we will see an injury free game. Thanks the Elizabethton posters for being good sports this week on the T. Let’s get it!!!!!

He miss the season after 4th game as a sophmore, and only made playoffs 1 season. He could easily pushed for the carrer record. His team got this 9 year run started

That 2013 team/Connor York was the team that got Upperman on the map and still the best team/player at UHS 9 years later…

Let’s take a look at the numbers from the season thus far…..

EHS    PF 479    PA  116

          PF    40 ppg Avg.  
          PA   9.7 ppg Avg 

 

UHS   PF 396    PA. 149

           PF  33 ppg Avg 

           PA   12.4 ppg Avg 

 

with 49 of these points allowed to the Greeneville Greene Devils.  They have allowed just 6.7 ppg in the other ten games played.  

In postseason play the Cyclones have scored 105 (35 ppg) and allowed 28 (9.9 ppg)

UHS in postseason play has scored 128 (42.7 ppg) and allowed 49 (16.3 ppg)

 

Hoping all have a safe trip and praying for an injury free game.  These are just for FYI.  Not picking one over the other because that’s why we play the game..

Not the best team but York was definitely the best player Upperman has ever had. I would put that team at 2nd best team Upperman has ever had.

Somebody told me that Upperman's starting QB is out, any truth to that?

I think they said he may be playing tonight. Earlier post said they heard that “Ty” so going lace up those cleats and help get the W vs Betsy. So I would assume so that he’s playing.

Blazer maybe if you pull for Betsy tonight your team might beat us next year.

I'm very torn because a Carter County sweep into Chattanooga would be so awesome.

As far as next year, Boone only graduates about 7 seniors and Elizabethton is graduating at least 80% of their offensive output.      I think Boone can give you a game next year but until we can actually win I always mark that one as an "L" before the season starts.     Let's be honest, 2-34 just aren't good odds for Boone.

You guys have been so close but haven’t been able to knock the door down yet.

    • 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.
