The last 3 or 4 years have been some of the least athletic DB teams I have seen. Sci Hill has several kids that can run

Fastest kid on SH team didn’t even play last night. He’s their best WR and apparently got hurt Wednesday in practice. He’s got offers from Big 10 schools for track.

Science Hill year in and year out has better athletes than DB. This year DB has about 5 or 6 good players with the rest about average or less. Might have to go all the way back to about 2008 to find a weaker DB team. The QB Sykes is good, but it took the coaching staff over halfway into the season to give him a shot. You're right, running backs are slow. Not much speed anywhere on the team. Sykes is just a step away from having good enough speed to break it. Science Hill and DB should be in a bidding war right now for Shawn Witten. But it will never happen. They're just not that smart. 

Agree with you. For some reason I think SH AD might be from Elizabethton. Makes you wonder...

I don't know how long it's going to take but I think Shawn Witten eventually goes to Science Hill. Science Hill has enough talent year in and year out to be competing for state titles. Just never had a very good coaching staff. 

I think he'd be more likely to go to DB then SHill

I think DB still has politics but the city of Kingsport would let him do what he wanted more then JC would. He won't want to set up his youth program while having to deal with the JC parks department who will definitely not give him what he wants.

I don't think he leaves Elizabethton any time soon they might have the best middle school team in the state right now and the youth program is cooking. His brother coaches flag at Milligan as well and with it being in the Olympics there's a chance they might be the team USA coaches

Doesn't matter who is coaching. If they don't get control over the whole program it won't work and SH and DB seem to be stuck neck deep in the Good ol boy mindset

Wouldn’t be so sure about SH once Carter is no longer there. The AD at SH has proven he’ll do what he likes. He did it with the hire of the boys basketball coach and again with the new cross country coach. He’s made it pretty clear lately he’ll hire who he wants regardless of what the community or those “in house” want.

Trying to feel relevant? The stadium is always packed. They come to see the band. You'll find out next week that it didn't matter. No pretending.

Betsy 8th grade lost to Devils 8th grade this year. However, Betsy’s 6/7th grade team did beat Greeneville’s in OT.

Sometimes that doesn't pan out in the future.I watched both Dobyns Bennett 8Th grade teams beat Greeneville's 8th grade with a lot of stud 7th graders playing for the young Devils a few years ago. Four years later, Dobyns Bennett with both those middle schools combined couldn't beat the Devils.

Totally understand, just responding that GHS FEEDER might be almost as good as Betsy’s. Modified pissing contest.

    • 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.
    • 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.
