I agree with the post about the defense.  Defense played great.  Disagree about the starting QB.  He's getting recruited by Emory and Henry for sure, not sure who else.  He's not Whitson, but he's better than another former D-B QB who currently is on a D2 roster.  Shouldn't be hard to guess who that is.  

Emory and Henry and UVA wise are both D2 schools. I guess it's easy for tall dudes to go D2 even if they're trash at QB like those two are. QB is the most important position on the field. You don't score a measly 6 points on offense if you have a good or even decent QB.

DB defense sure played like they wanted it. QB just sucked. He has always sucked since he was a sophomore. DB actually had some decent wrs and dbs this year and last year. Oline play has always been good. QB just took a dump on the field. Should of been helping the kid from Abingdon more if you ask me instead of a bum who can barely throw a ball 20 yards. But ultimately that prolly has something to do with what's in my username. 

What kind of person gets on here and bashes a hs school kid? Saying he sucks? How about you not hide behind your user name and put up your hs stats and we’ll all see how you fared? Or are you just one of the old farts trying relive their glory days on an anonymous message board? 
All these kids are our their doing their best- sometimes it’s not enough.

The national coach search did interview a coach but turned him down and he didn’t even get a 2nd interview. He has gone on to win 2 state titles and came in 2nd one year. Would he have done that at DB? No one knows but everyone outside of S. Carter thinks DB made a mistake.

Surely no one really thinks there was an actual "national coach search". I know at the time that was the statement made by the school. It was insulting to the taxpayers/DB fans to even put out a statement like that.  The whole thing was a scam because they knew who was taking the job before Clark even announced his retirement. Everyone associated with letting Witten get away should be fired. If they're no longer in the system, they should be rehired and then fired.

Man am I glad they like the good old boy system for hiring and hope Witten stays right were he belongs in Elizabethton.

    • 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.
