Just saying all classes in general West TN is starting to catch up with the Upper Cumberland. Summertown and Loretto have been really good a while as well. Upper Cumberland has been the king of Gold Balls for a while. Just think a small circle with about a 40 mile radius is catching up. Got 5 Gold Balls in last two years: Westview 2, South Side 1 and McKenzie 2.  And Greenfield, Gibson County, TCA all with Gold Balls in recent years with Greenfield and Gibson County both in Final Four during Covid shutdown. South Side and Westview also has a Silver to go along. Just saying West Tennessee is more than holding it’s own. No disrespect to Summertown and Loretto at all. You know how I feel about them. 

West Tn has done rather well over the last couple of years but not catching up per say. Take that same 40 mile radius in the Upper Cumberland

Jackson County 8 Gold 3 silver

Clarkrange 8 Gold 3-4 silver

LA 5 Gold 2-3 Silver

Pickett County 5 Gold 2 Silver? Not sure on the silver side

Clay County 3 Gold 2 silver

Upperman 4 Gold 2-4 Silver 

White County has a couple Silver

40 mile radius. Bradford 6 Gold 2-3 Silver, Gibson County 3 Gold 1 Silver, McKenzie 2 Gold,  Greenfield 1 Gold, Westview 3 Gold 2 Silver, Gleason 3 Gold 1-2 Silver, Peabody 2 Gold 1 Silver, Humboldt 2 Gold, Union City 1 Gold, TCA 1 Gold, South Side 1 Gold 1 Silver, JCM 1 Gold, Milan 1 Gold. All within a 40 mile radius.

I agree y’all are a little ahead but you have to say that most of the Gold Balls in recent history in the state are coming from these 2 40 mile radius’ in the Upper Cumberland and West TN.

Please don't downplay what South Side did by saying they got the whistles. Watching all 3 games, they were getting screwed by the refs and found a way to win. Their defense is impeccable and they never gave up. Their game with Elizabethton is a testament to kids who persevere. The championship gane was headed towards a blowout and the officials started blowing the whistle to slow the game down and give LA free throws and SS still found a way. Those kids and coaches earned their championship.

Southside earned this championship. They played the 3 best teams at the tournament and beat them all. Give those girls their due!!!

I agree, the post said Westview won the title in a landslide.  They didn’t, in actuality a whistle DID decide the game.  IF York hit one more 3 or IF Westview hit one more it wouldn’t have mattered.  IF is fantasy, one whistle wasn’t fantasy and did matter.  Either way it wasn’t a landslide.  It was the decision of someone not in a uniform.

They won the state championship by 19 points. That's a landslide stop being a hater. Even more odd stop being a hater at 4 am

lol. Those WV folks keep quiet mostly and they let everyone else do the chirping/hating. What's astounding is that they held every opponent at the Boro to an average of at least 21+ points less than their offensive average coming into to their matchups in the tourney. Offense wins the crowd, defense wins the championships.

The teams that post 60-65 plus points on an average night don't like the games where you have to grind out every possession to get a good look. 

WV will be in semi-rebuild next year, but I don't think they'll change their philosophy or their approach.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
