Nevermind you don't have to post your team, your that parent of the kid who would not play softball at 4a Franlin Co and took your kid to Huntland to dodge competition lol. AND when Coffee beat you by 70 points at Thanksgiving you wanted to cry and hide behind a screen and bash people. What a joke, could not compete with the big dogs and took baby jane to Huntland to excel lmao JOKE

Cleveland 50-37 Coffee Co Final

Coffee had 1 lead the entire night. At the beginning of the game. 44 for Coffee Co was all they had, every else phoned it in. 

Maybe they should play tournaments in other states against people like Hazel Green and Webb not against Whitwell and Huntland…js

Anyone that gets on here and bashes coaches needs stop and think about how much this stuff actually means to them.  Coach Cope had his team prepared tonight and shots just didn't fall.  Is that on him as a coach?  It's not on the players either.  Sometimes you just miss.

That was a game between two really good teams competing at a high level.  One made shots and one didn't.  It's a make or miss game and coaching is sometimes very over rated.  Not to mention Coffee played without one of their best shooters tonight.  Cleveland had kids step up...It's that simple. Congratulations Coffee County on an incredible season.

I think where the coaching comes in is settling the team down and talking the team through ball handling. Making good decisions on shots and having players in place to rebound. You can't have 25+ turn-overs, Shoot 32 percent  and be out rebounded and expect to win. I am not tryin to be a jerk, as I respect the work and effort coaches put into any sport, but Coffee Co was clearly not "ready to play"

So Coach Cope drew up all those missed 3 point shots and ran those plays that were designed to turn the ball over?  It's not always the coach's fault.   I'm not throwing the kids under the bus either so don't mishear me.  I just don't like Coach bashing.  Go walk in his shoes and I promise you won't ever be critical again.

I think you are missing the point here. I am not bashing the Coach or Coaching 

1) If you are consistently missing 3 pointers, work the ball down low and inside, position yourself for the easy shots. Jacking it up from outside was not working.  Is it the Coach's responsibility to make the shots? Absolutely not....But there becomes a point when you have to change strategies if it's not working.

2) If you are turning the ball over frequently, you slow the game down and make short deliberate passes. Stay out of the corners and keep the ball in the center of the court coming down to your bucket. 

3) Follow your shots. Follow your shots Follow your shots and BLOCK OUT!!!! When you have size advantage you should not be out-rebounded.

These are things the team did most of the year. They were flat and did not look like they were ready for the game. My response was in regard to the team was not ready, and if adjustments were made, either to plays or attitude it did not translate.  And finally GREAT Coaches would rather you beat up on them than their players, and it better if it is neither. This is not an attack on either. but merely pointing out that after a tremendous season, it was the execution fundamentals that was the difference.

Great points.  Many assumptions but points made.  If forcing the ball inside is what was causing the turnovers should you continue to do so or take the open shots that you have probably made all year.

I think you can get the ball down low with good ball movement and picks. Not necessarily forcing it. It also slows the tempo down. Especially when you are within a score or two. I realize they were down their best shooter as well. which make a difference in how you have to play.

    • 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.
