Jan 2003. UH had a kid originally from Science Hill, Bradley was him name I believe. Big strong forward, and UH was like 17-0 and ranked #1 in the state.  Anyway, Bradley gets sick, and Coach Gordon doesn't want to play without him. So he decided to postpone the game because the roads were "too icy" up Stoney Creek. Even though Carter County Schools were in session that day, and the following day. 

 

Anyways, UH racked up a few more wins, then Unaka went to Brooks the next week and gave them their 1st L. UH only lost 5 games that year, and Unaka was the only team to beat them at Brooks. Their only other loses were @ Roan Mtn, up Stoney Creek, against Cloudland in the district tournament, and Greenfield in the State Semi-finals.

I never knew this being honest with you, how much of a ball player was this Bradley kid?

Brandon Bradley I believe... Lord it's been 20 years, can't remember too much. 6'6-6'7 and strong. Did most his work in the post. Was all-state that season. Surely he went somewhere NAIA or D3 to play ball, but I can't remember. If you defended him physically and harassed him, you could get in his head and throw off his game. Which is one reason Unaka and Cloudland both beat them twice that year. Both those teams played hard and tenacious in your face defense back in those days. Their post players played mean, like football linemen.

Oh yea, I can’t imagine the type of physically that unaka and cloudland brought back in those days, was he up there with Meredith as far as skill and talent?

If I remember correctly, I was still a couple years away from being at the high school at the time. Bradley wasn’t super skilled , but he was big, strong and pretty athletic so around the rim he was a handful. I remember him having a monster two hand dunk at one point at Unaka I believe. I think I was in 6th grade at the time, maybe 7th and that was the first game I remember seeing someone dunk in high school.

Kid sounds like a stud!  Was he the best player y'all ever seen at UH?

I assume that Woodacre guy was after Bradley?

Yeah, he was a senior in 07 I think. Good ball player and great shooter. Didn’t get rattled easily. Played at Lees-McRae after UH and I think he’s like 4th or 5th in 3 point baskets made all time there or maybe in a season. Not sure exactly, but he’s up there in top 5 in one of those categories at least.

Hampton pulled out a big win at Unicoi last night.  Unaka travels to Hampton on Friday to get the conference season rolling. Any thoughts?

I was in attendance at Unicoi, was a really really good game!  Buckeles and Campbell looked pretty tough to stop when they're going.  Unicoi had a solid crowd and performance in general, but Hampton wasn't rattled.  I agree with RodgerDodger with how Unaka can be scrappy at times, but I say Hampton will win by at least 25 maybe more.  Unaka is very well coached, but I don't know if they have much match for hampton inside the dog house.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
