If these two matchup again Greeneville wins for a second time . I thought home field advantage might favor elizabethton but after seeing Elizabethton's line get dominated up front and poor QB play I will stick with Greenville @ burley.

Eh same thing was said last time. EHS took a close one in the rematch. It's tough to beat a good team twice in a season and I feel EHS will take the rematch if they meet.

Well well well ….. there’s not to much talk about QB1 tonight he must’ve threw for 400 and 4 TDS ….. wait no he was 6-8 for 85, chucked a ball across his body to the defense and was wanting to throw another one if there was enough time left on the clock…. It seems like the recipe for success is RUNNING THE FOOTBALL AND PLAYING DEFENSE… 

You are correct on the running the ball and playing defense.  You are also correct that certain people got very quite all of a sudden.  Good luck to the Greene Devils the rest of the way!

Sorry. Took me all weekend to get over it. Both defenses played good. G’men played better. We knew they were going to run the ball and couldn’t stop them. We missed not having #11 for this game. He’s been that tall receiver that gets open when QB is in trouble. QB can put it up for a rebound and extend drives. Turning the ball over is never good. Officiating was of no consequence. I didn’t think it was that bad. #27 was in the vicinity of the pass, but I do believe it’s a 5 yard radius and he was more than 5 yards away. So, it is what it is. And Ball gets held every game. Some teams are just better at it than others. When those hands are in tight the refs won’t see it. As a former o-lineman, I know the little things that help you get by. 
Now that we have a taste of Greene, let’s use that bad taste to refocus and win Friday and work on getting better. There can be a rematch, but we will have to earn it. And these rematches usually don’t favor the previous winner. Carter is the focus. Improving is the goal. Go 1-0 this week men.

Good luck Dave, pulling for Betsy 1st and second round.

    • 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.
