Well, it's that Week. Bradley vs Cleveland; Cleveland vs Braadley. no matter how you term it, one of the premier rivalries you will experience. Mostly friends 51 weeks a year but this week it's a family feud. (well, there are other weeks too, but this is the biggest one)

Bradley ranked #1 in the state with a group of athletes that can be scary good. Cleveland under a new coach, and despites some setbacks, still could be playing the best they have played in a while.

The town will be bonkers this week and the smack talk will be flying in social media.

Let it begin...

Who wins and why?

I’m for Cleveland all the way but they will have to clean up the penalties in order to come close to beating Bradley. I haven’t seen the numbers but there was a lot last night against us. 

Nothing new for Cleveland. They’ve been the most penalized team in region two for a minute now. Few years at least.

Hypothetically, if Bradley Central were to lose to Cleveland and then beat Bearden who is number one in region 2 at that point, it’s still a battle between Bradley Central and Bearden but how do they choose which one.

First tie breaker is Head-to-head matchup. Second is overall record I think if I remember it correctly. Then it really gets involved. But this case it would be the head-to-head matchup and who wins.

In this scenario if Braley loses to Cleveland and beats Bearden it's Bradley regional champs. If Bradley beats Cleveland and loses to Bearden, Bearden is #1 seed.

If Bradley is healthy which they said Friday Night, a few are out they should win. Cleveland is undisciplined as any team I've seen this year. They beat their own selves against Maryville. 

Penalties upon penalties. Maryville ran the same 6 to 7 plays from multiple sets.

I don't see them doing anything to hurt that wrestling program. And the basketball program has been pretty solid, as has the baseball program.

Now I know they want to get back to Benny Monroe championship quality football but let's not get too crazy here.,

 

We would all like to get back to that level. We (State Championship Teams) were joking Friday night during our social that we had if they would allow Benny to call some plays? haha...All joking aside we had athletes upon athletes as well as talent stacked upon talent. I'm not saying these current guys are not talented. But we played for one another and were like family. The other night Kevin Cobb looked at his son while I was standing there and pointed at me. He said this guy right here was an offensive lineman. Shortest guy. But this guy didn't care how big you were he was going to hit you. Cleveland will get back to those times. It just takes time and getting things established.

The wrestling program is a juggernaut that has been well paid for. Those coaches have worked hard to get things established. During my coaching tenure there. We just didnt have the funds available to us during that time.

    • 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.
