Blazer, is Boone bringing the band and some fans? Last two weeks no bands and probably 150 fans total between both fan bases of crockett and mo west on the visitor side...

 

I sure hope our band comes, they are small in numbers but add a lot to the atmosphere and I think they do a great job, it is just not the same without them.      Boone traditionally travels quite well, I can remember lots of games > 50 miles away where we had more fans than the home team.     So it's hard to know, a lot of Boone fans may look at it like "Why would i want to drive 100 miles in 20 degrees to see West beat the daylights out of us..."          And for all the smack talk going back and forth, let's be honest, West is the heavy favorite by at least 20 points.     It's no secret that Boone has some guys out with injuries and West could possibly be the best team in the state regardless of classification.    I can only hope that the fans are willing to make the trip and support the guys and coaches who have worked so hard to make this season possible.  And I feel it is an honor to make it to this level, since 1971 Boone has only to been to the 3rd round 3 times including this one, we are almost always switching over to basketball at this time of year.

Yeah I cant believe how cold it will be this week for the game...I'm curious how many West fans will show up themselves, but they had a great showing this past Friday night despite the threat of rain and it still being wet, so they might come out again despite the 35 degree difference in temperature. Honestly both of these teams have come a long way to where West never got to the playoffs let alone the third and fourth rounds and now this season, being the first they have ever gone undefeated in to this point. Hats of to your guys and I'm looking forward to the game regardless as it is another chance to watch my team play.

@blazer1set I thought it was only the 2nd time in school history to go to the 3rd round? 

In 2009 Boone lost to South in the 3rd round and in 1999 lost to Elizabethton.     So this game against Knox West will be the 3rd time.     Definitely unfamiliar territory for Boone.      Is the 3rd time the charm as they say??

Not this time, but congrats on a great season up there Blazer!  Sorry to hear about the qb.

I don't see this game as having a huge gap in ability.  Daniel Boone beat Science hill by 6.  Science Hill just beat Farragut by 21.  West beat Farragut by 19. 

 

Honestly,  I think both Daniel Boone and Science hill have a legitimate chance to win their games.

Science Hill definitely has a shot.  Can't agree on the other.   Danull Boone is really good.  West is at another level.

Common opponents:

Knox Central......... West won 44-3, Boone won 30-7
Davy Crockett........ West won 56-7, Boone won 35-7
Morristown West.. West won 68-14, Boone won 38-7


Series History:

Using A=1, B=2, C=3, etc. yields:

KNOXWESTREBELS = 192.................... 1+9+2 = 12
DANIELBOONETRAILBLAZERS = 239... 2+3+9 = 14

Problem with this comparison is that West put the running clock on at half time. Game was over!  ILB, you'll see the difference in ability come Friday night. Won't be a contest! West is on a mission!

    • 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.
