William Blount 2023

I was very critical of William Blount's football program and coaches after last year, so I wanted to make sure I came on and praised the boy's basketball team for an exceptional season so far and they are still playing! They've beaten Bearden 4 times this season after losing 40 in a row to them. That's no small feat. They play at Karns tonight for the region and a trip to sectionals. Go Govs! And let's hope the basketball team's amazing season can breed a culture of winning that bleeds over into football and other sports.

The final possession of that basketball game against Karns last night was something else. We were down 3 with the ball and a chance to tie with a 3-ball in the final seconds. Then Karns intentionally fouled our guy with the ball - which made sense - and they literally knocked the guy over in the process right in front of the ref and no foul was called. That was sorry and that was just one of many questionable things that were and weren't called in the game. Any how, it was still a great game and hopefully we can get a more even officiating crew in Kingsport. Go Govs!

The only possible win is Union County and that will be toss up right now. This program has dropped to an all time low and may be there for a while until feeder system is developed. They hung onto Shad to long which the effects will be felt for a while down the road. Love to be wrong but don't think I am.

I agree with Barn. The wins look sparse. Amazing how things have changed since the last win against f’n hairtage. They gotta be close to reaching the bottom. Maybe they can hit and bounce up some.

Some programs hit the bottom but I'm not so sure this is the bottom as a coma on life support. Like I said Shad stayed to long and wasn't committed or wouldn't pulled all the shenanigans like a week off during fall break while applying for every opening coming and going among other things. That's why we all gave WB so much grief on here  hoping he would get the hint and leave because it was evident no one was calling him down on it. The difference between Robert Reeves and Shad is one is a class act and the other is a Flim Flam Man. I think Robert is going to have a hard time and nothing against him but it may break an older man into with the shape this program is in waiting for the feeder system to start bearing fruit when it's actually not even started blooming yet.

    • 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.
