How do you see the University High and Greenback game going? Assuming University makes it out of the region.

I know nothing about University. Greenback is solid, but they’re also young (only 2 seniors I believe). I would say University will have the advantage playing at home but Greenback does have a decent pitching staff so they will have quality starters for all 3 games if it gets to that point. 
 

Assuming North Green makes it out as well and has to go to Coalfield, I would be surprised if Coalfield drops a game to them.

Just got home from the ER game, heard Taylor Head pitched a full game and hardly anyone could touch him from ER. ER beat Gordonsville 8-6 in a THRILLER. Both sides super rowdy, refs were terrible both ways, but Carson Craig hits a 2 run shot in dead center in the 7th to give ER the lead. Austin Jones pitches terrific and Mack Luckett was able to close the game off. Heard from some parents the pitcher has thrown about 4 perfect games this year, but ER was able to handle him and put up 8 runs to move on to substate. Does anyone know where that is played or who is played against  I know they’ve changed it up, but haven’t seen anything about it yet.

Who would everyone put as the final two teams at state as of now? I’m thinking Coalfield and Peabody

 

 

Yeah Peabody looks the part. I’m not sold on Coalfield. They’ve got good hitters and a great catcher in Luke Treece, but they don’t have the pitching imo. They don’t have a dominant guy that can go shut down a good team. They’ve got several good arms but nobody with overpowering stuff. Their guys just throw a ton of strikes and don’t walk many people. Their #2 arm has also not been able to pitch since midway through the season due to an arm injury and has only been able to DH for them. He was also their shortstop with their ace was on the mound, but now they have an 8th grader playing SS when their ace pitches.

Peabody is definitely the front runner, i don't see any weakness on this team. Eagleville is solid with a strong 1 and 2. Coalfield will be a tough matchup against anyone. I like ER as a sleeper team.

Greenback at University 

North Greene at Coalfield

East Robertson at South Pittsburg

Lookout Valley at Jo Byrns

? at Eagleville

Richland at McKenzie/Hollow Rock-Bruceton

? at Peabody

Bradford at Lakeland Prep

    • 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.
