Sweetwater     2-8

Sequoyah        2-7

Tellico Plains  1-8

Sweetwater's 2 wins were over the other Monroe County Schools making them Monroe County Champions of 2023 with all wins under the leadership of Coach of the year Caleb Slover during his short stay. Where can I get a Sweetwater County Championship License Plate so I can drive around Monroe County beeping my horn and drawing attention for recruiting purposes. Also not forgetting to take it off coming back across the Blount County line in order to avoid being pulled over and cited for being a public specticle.

Karma. 

Somebody needs some smelling salts, and not the kid who got held down and was administered one causing him to need medical attention. Interesting how that only resulted in a 1 day ISS.  Money has its privileges. 

Disgraceful.

I don't think payment is the issue, they're paid pretty well for 4 hours work. I think how they're treated makes a lot of them get out or never get in.

To interject, it's much more than "4 hours "

Say it's 7PM game time. (1st off, in my association if you're not on site at a bare minimum of an hour 45 min, you're LATE. Typically arrive 2 hours prior to kickoff) so you need to get to the school at 5. Which if your an hour away, that means you need to leave your day job early, at 4pm, on a Thursday or Friday. 3 hour game. Half an hour to debrief, shower, pack up. Another hour home. It's 11:30 or midnight before you hit the door, and that's assuming you don't stop somewhere for a bite. 

So yeah, it's more than "4 hours." Alot of folks don't realize it.

Yeah 5:30-9:30 was just an estimation. Wasn’t saying that officials didn’t do anything, just that the harsh treatment from coaches and fans was probably more of a deterrent than pay. 
 

So yeah, glad you got that out of your system.

    • 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.
