I agree completely. That’s where expectations and perspective come in. A first round exit isn’t successful for Oakland, Maryville, Alcoa, and a lot of other teams. If you’ve won 13 games in 3 years, 10-1 is successful. Obviously not the outcome you want, but far from where you were. 

Absolutely.

Actually that's exactly what it means.. Granted "successful" is a term that is subjective. I guess it's relative to the amount of success you're used to having. Really good football teams don't lose in the first round. 

But if you ask this fan bases who are accustomed to winning seasons, they'll tell you regular season wins mean nothing as long as you get enough of them to get into the playoffs. An undefeated team losing in the first round is an upset and underwhelming no matter how you try to spin it. 

I'd bet good money that if you asked players and coaches on that undefeated Loretto team if they're satisfied or happy with that season, 99% of them will say no.

Yep. You have to schedule a tough out of conference schedule to see where you stack up against competition. You can’t help who is in your region, but you can out of region.

Regardless of what they tell themselves, they still lost to the 4th best team in the other Region as an undefeated 1-seed. If you don't admit to yourself at that point that you were only undefeated because you didn't play anyone, then you're just lying to yourself. A 1st round loss to a team that, by their own fans' admission, is the worst team they've had in 10+ years ain't gonna cut it. Good teams don't lose those games. And using "R6 is really strong" as an excuse don't fly because you can't acknowledge that one might be strong without saying that another could be weak. R5 was a weak sauce region this year without any actually "good" teams.

However, some programs are just proud to boast a sign as visitors come into the (stadium) displaying 9-2 and 10-1 or even 10-2 regular season records. To them, that’s all that really matters. Hence, Bud Kilmer.

Hey we had collierville! :lol:

I didn't/wasnt and wont  say   That teams in region don't schedule tough teams out of district. I said and say if you team/school plays in region 6 you do not have to schedule them to toughen up your team for the playoffs. By seasons end you are tough already.



If you look the day the new regions were announced everyone was talking about  it. It may not always be that way but in the next few years I just don't see that changing.

I don’t either. Peabody is young. Camden is young. Adamsville is young. Huntingdon is young. JCM is young.  Milan is Milan. And Riverside is Riverside and has had some really good middle school teams.

Excellent post. Makes sense and aligns with other posts made for years regarding that region. See the following quoted posts.

Second round of the playoffs involving Hohenwald, RP, so take a wild guess.

Oh yeah, that’s a gimme this time of the year each year, regardless of who Hohenwald plays.

Can Wesmoreland trade regions with Forrest?

You don’t have to go through all that trouble.

Just become buddies with a couple of guys in the T$$AA and have them pick out the worst possible teams in your area, form a region and put you in it.

Then, look around for the worst possible teams around you (can even be single A or even an 0 for 40 5A Spring Hill) for your out of region schedule.

Now, you will have a false sense of pride and some may even mock your team as paper champions but just ignore them.

Then wala, your team can make the playoffs every year with high odds to make it to round two. However, just know you wont make it past the second round because your team wont know how to compete at a high level due to not facing much competition through the regular season.

0/0 you are welcome. Hope that helps.

    • 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.
