Looks to be yalls newest region opponent?  

Could be, just depends on how many are in our region next year, hear of some in the area that may be moving down. I'd rather have them than Daniel Boone. Its been tough trying to fill a schedule with local teams.

I'm pretty sure 420 is the entire school because there is no way that small school facility can handle 800 kids. They had to have a turf field because of to many uses or it would look like a garden by mid year. Where Eagleton will luck up is getting some kids that normally would go to Alcoa. Before that even has a chance to grow there will be another school on the other side of town. This campus does not have adequate parking for over 400 students and teachers. The place is so compact for every possible square inch on that campus there's not enough room left to cuss a cat out. I honestly thought it was a big joke when they were first talking about this because it's landlocked in between a couple of subdivisions and no possible way to expand. I don't think anyone has to worry about a school in 2A with 800 kids.

What caused the confusion in a large part is TSSAA listing them with 420 students in grades 9 & 10.

I'm sure but take my word the place is confined to such a small space the county isn't going to allow it to get over run. It would be like the Sonic having 40 parking lots with another 80 cars driving around and around the restaurant waiting for one of those cars to leave.

If the 9th and 10th graders are driving, its sounds a lot like Stevenson, AL.

Not saying that's how it'll turn out, but I believe you are underestimating the overall incompetence of the TSSAA. In '16-'17, Northview was playing in Single A (in everything but football) with 750 kids.

Before all the small community schools were put into two big schools Blount County was a powerhouse in small school football and I do believe some people that run the place are figuring that out after 45 years of getting their heads beat in at WB and Heritage. That's why I hate it when these schools all go together because the end product is nothing but a nightmare. The best brand of football are the small community schools and I believe Blount County would like to go back to that and we'll see another one pop up on the south side of the county possibly if the Eagleton venture goes well.

    • Groves got the ball over 20+ times. His son arguably played the best for East in that game. 3rd and long multiple times and he came up big to continue a couple drives. Please shut up for the 3rd year in a row
    • 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.
