Bearden ladies looking strong. finding ways to win

They are definitely looking good.  That win over Alcoa (regardless of the score) was a very good win.  Alco has a very good team.  Bearden's schedule is pretty weak overall but they are a good team for sure and have beaten everyone put in front of them.   Thats all you can do this time of year.   If they aren't on your schedule you can't beat them.  I expect the Bulldogs to be back in the glass house this March. 

I like the way top of AAAA is looking right now.   Should be some really good games in the Substate/Glass House.    I don't see anyone that is standing out like Bearden did last year after their trip to Florida.   But for sure there are some teams that are loaded with talent.  Its going decided on who makes a run at the right time of year.

Theyve played tough schedule too

That is a bit of a stretch.  Outside of Cleveland they haven't played any of the top 3A or 4A teams in TN.   Knox Catholic should be a better game this time with their best player (Mains) back.    I am not saying that BC isn't good because I have seen them play and they are very solid but that schedule....nope.  Even CoachT says their opponents barely have a  winning record (53%).

A sleeper team nobody is mentioning could be David Crockett.  I think they're a heavy favorite to come out of and win Region 1, which would mean avoiding Bearden in the substate most likely.  Not sure who the other team could be coming out of 2 (Heritage maybe?), but Crockett has the nation's leader in assists and are coming off of a 30+ point beatdown of Science Hill on their own floor Tuesday night.  Watch out for the Lady Pioneers.

You are only making my point.   Catholic has a losing record.   Like I said BC is a very good team with a weak schedule.   You were the one talking about how tough the schedule was.  Sometimes that happens.  Catholic and Warren should have been alot better this year but that happens sometimes during scheduling but BC didn't go out of their way to get a tough out of confernece schedule and they sure won't have one in the district (excluding Cleveland)

Cookeville has a big challenge this weekend with Blackman on Friday followed by Warren on Saturday.    The  Lady Cavs have been looking really good the past couple weeks.   Their defense is relentless.  And they will need that same effort when Blackman comes to town.  Hopefully the Cavs can keep it rolling Friday night but I expect it to be a war.   This team has grown alot the past couple months and are looking to make a deep run at a gold ball this year.   Friday will be nothing but a measuring stick but I do know its big game for these girls.  I hope Warren is not a trap game but its looking like it.

Crockett does look really good. It wouldn't be a surprise to see them win their region. Their games against Daniel Boone this year could be classics.
But if Crockett runs into an opponent with a good big players they could have a tough time. Especially if that team has a bigger point guard.  But if they get past the region quarterfinal, where they washed out the last two seasons, they could be on their way.

    • 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.
