Thanks Stars.  Good game - both teams answered the bell when momentum swung the other way.  Just like last year 2 good teams battled - it came down to a few plays - and this year the plays broke our way.  

Funny - you win a game and suddenly we are the 5a state champs and we either win it or we choked.  I’ll pass - lots of games left to play and several teams in 5A have the talent to send us home.  
 

As far as the Red Rebels, not looking forward to that fight - just want to play a solid 4 quarters - which we have never done.  Maryville has a way of bringing teams back to reality. 

Agreed...happy for the Rebels but lots of work to do in 5A. Playoffs have not been kind to west these last few years.

Congratulations to your Rebels. Great game to watch. If The Ridge can’t win it all in 5A, I wouldn’t mind at all seeing West win it all. Lamar deserves one. He’s been there right on the brink for a while. Good luck buddy.

Great game to watch. IMO - one of the best things about athletics is watching those kids who raise their game when necessary. Both teams have several of those guys. West looked really good after halftime.And then you have some who wilt under the pressure. That was the guys in stripes last night. 

Was anyone else surprised #9 for the home team didn’t touch it more? He is a great player.

Andrew King the ref that made that horrible call right on television for all of East Tennessee to see shouldn't be allowed to call games like this anymore. He needs to be called out because it's a bad look for Blount County and the whole profession. Send this clown up the road and let him F' up the Sunbright and Jellico game not one of this importance. If your just a neutral fan watching that game last night and saw that your going to all the sudden form an opinion and pull for West just because of this IDIOT. Not his only bad calls this year and that's a fact. The look on Lamar Brown's face was priceless with the announcers pure backlash and the angry mob that hit social media after should be enough to tell this guy to go get a job at Walmart as a greeter where he belongs .

You were saying?  And I don't care what anyone says, nothing in the game last year was near as sketchy as that bs   'hit out  of bounds ' at the end of the game...

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
