I just watched the replay of DB & WB. WB had some of the worst tackling I've seen in a long time. To be honest, much of the time I don't think they were even trying. There were several plays where there would be more than one WB player just reach out and touch the DB ball carrier as he ran by them. It wasn't all of the WB players but "several".  I just thought it looked weird. There were several plays where 3 or 4 WB players could have easily made a tackle but just sorta reached out and touched the guy as he ran by them. Could they have multiple players that want to see them lose for some reason?

Hypothetically speaking, I think in their mind the season is already over, they’re just going through the motions at this point.

I think it's a toss-up. From what I'm reading Oak Ridge has been steadily improving as the season goes along. I can't tell if DB has improved or not. Defiantly couldn't tell anything from the William Blount game. There's been only one game (Davey Crockett) that I would say DB played well. So I'm still waiting on them to put a good game together. Tomorrow night would be a good time.

Considering they've already lost one game I'd say it's too late instead of to early. 

Wow, I blew that one.   Okay, let's go 9-1 as a possibility?      You guys have had a phenomenal season especially considering pre-season expectations.      It was believed that DB would be mediocre based on graduating too many seniors last year.    Regardless of what happens in the playoffs the regular season has been fantastic.

Sorry I'm late SS but yes.  there was a JV game last night. OR won 28-14, My great grand Boy scored 3 tds but one was called back so pretty good night. And the cold wind has arrived up to "The Ship" man it was cutting down from the practice field then it would switch around and come from towards Big Ed's and drive Ya crazy with the smell. Good game but cold night. 

There was a  freshman JV game to be played with Campbell County but it was cancelled. So their season is over.

I understand there is a freshman game with Alcoa at Blankenship next Monday night,

You're gonna' have to change your diet blazer. You're starting to slip. It was year before last when DB lost a lot of seniors. They had a lot of guys coming back this year. It was expected they would be right where they are right now, 7-1  Looking at schedule before the season started it was known Jeff. Co. and Greeneville were the only two teams that could challenge DB up to this point. Won one, lost one. That's 50% against good teams. These last two games will be tough to win. The last two games will make or break DB's season. Oak Ridge probably has more talent, so I look to that game to be a lot like the Greeneville game. Science Hill probably has more talent also but are poorly coached. But apparently Science Hill has DB's number somehow.

    • 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.
