Are you seriously comparing basketball to football? Have you even seen Middleton play? I totally get it you are probably related to the Groves as much as you’ve been hyping them up, but the sports are nothing alike even if you have some D1 football players( I doubt you have 5 that goes D1)  most of them will probably be on Defense and none of them are going P5 like your other cuz. Anyways you will see what I’m talking about next week when warmups start. Their starting 5, has 3 E Groves and one of the best shot blockers I’ve watch this year. This is going to be similar to the Tyner vs ER matchup in football athlete wise and we know how that ended. 

 

All them athletes and y’all couldn’t get here last year? I would have got to see Middleton play but they layed an egg last year and we had to take care of business for them. I have Middleton winning, but y’all are not more athletic than us. Better at basketball yes, not more athletic. But I will say I bet money than Robinson won’t have a night likes he’s used too with groves guarding him.

Im not a Middleton fan by any-means so I could care less  who wins, I just hope it’s the best game of the first round. It definitely has the potential too be and from what I saw Middleton is going to be extremely tough to slow down.  While you guys barely got past a decent  VB and really young Pickett Co team. If they play like they did against those two teams it will be a 20 point win for Middleton.

And I agree with that too. But if they play the way they did vs KA in the semis then they’ll have a chance. ER has always struggled with teams who play slow, when they’ve made it a track meet they have tend to come out successful.

Van Buren shot the lights out against East Robertson with probably 6+ threes in the first half and a few more in the second half.  They played a great 3 quarters of basketball and kept it close until East completely shut them down in the 4th. Van Buren is a good team especially when they are shooting like that.

iMO you guys will have to do a little both play uptempo when needed to keep them honest,  but also be able to execute in the half court and keep Middleton defending for longer periods than they are used to. Kinda like PC did to you guys. If ER can do those two things well it will be a game late in this one.

Completely agree

One thing for sure is that next week, we are gonna find out...I was a sophomore at Middleton when we won the championship in 92. This team is right there with some of the better teams that has come through Middleton. Not saying they can't be beat, Booker T gave them a run for their money. I saw ER last year in the championship and have watched a couple recent games of theirs. ER is definitely the team to beat next week and I wouldn't want Middleton to make the trip and not get to play ER, even if it is in the quarters  This could very well be the state championship.

Steve Hamer and David Woodard went at it back in 92’! David Woodard is probably up there with the best of them in the never made it category along with Curtis Woodard back in the 90’s

    • 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.
