Watched the Upperman game on NFHS. It was really wasn't the contest I thought it would be. I will say the PG for Elizabethton is good. They had no answer at all for Johnson.

Abigail Johnson is one of the best players you will see in this tournament. I first saw her play in Greeneville when she was a freshman. She played like a senior. Now a junior, she's smooth and quick in the paint. 

The only way Greeneville beat Upperman this season was because they figured out a way to hold her to four points.

She almost single handed out scored Elizabethton

Personally I thought Upperman has been playing a lot better on defense than it showed today but I have to remind myself Lizbethton is pretty dang good!  Great win for the Lady Bees. One game at a time!  Playing teams like White County 3x Livingston Academy 2-3x Greeneville,Oakland etc… prepares you for these games. AAA is going to be one tough division year in and year out. White County and Livingston will be forces to deal with. Putnam County’s middle school programs are loaded with talent. Now you add Page to the region and it’s tough sledding. So we are going to have some wars over here to even make it to the glass house!

page will be in that region and district one more year and they will move up they are growing and will not be in AAA basketball.  I am hoping them and Spring Hill are added to our district so we can get a five team district with franklin county, coffee county, Shelbyville, Warren county, page and Spring Hill.

Facts! Upperman defense wasn’t at its best today. They played well overall, but they have another gear defensively that they didn’t hit today.

You are correct.  Facts right there.   HS girls version of SEC FOOTBALL!

    • 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.
