I think talent wise, we're on top.  It comes down to staying focused.  NG is the most dangerous obstacle.  They always are tougher after Christmas.  We're not playing as well on our home floor as I would like.  It almost looks like we're too comfortable if that makes any sense.  There was a little over 2 minutes left in the first quarter before my girl scored the first points. We can't afford to start that slow 

Of course there's gonna be some tougher games, but the Lady Landers are going to be favored in every single game this year. I'm just worried the same thing that happened to the 04-05 Unaka team will happen to them once the can match them step for step.

I think the development of the freshman and the twins are gonna be key by tourney time.   We couldn't play well with different lineups last year.  This year is much better

NG 55-40.  Looking good for our district brother.  Coalfield lost to jellico tonight.  Sunbright is looking like the best team in r2

I’ve seen a few of these teams and region 2 looks to be way down this year, the only thing I could see hurting you guys in your schedule, maybe they have some good competition in the holiday tournaments coming up.

They make up for it in practice.  The 2nd five really pushes the first string.  Not a big gap between the 2.  Most of our scores may be lopsided but Twin springs, Mitchell and HV have as good of a half court defense as anybody.  What hurts these teams is they can't handle pressure and they don't shoot well.  We've been constantly keeping teams in transition and the score makes it look like they are bad teams.

My prediction for final 4 region 1 tournament.  Cloudland, North Greene, Cosby and Washburn.  First time in a long time that I believe district 2 will have 2 teams in the semifinals.  Unaka losing to Hancock has me smh. Plus with Hampton gone, that leaves UH.  I'm thinking James b. and company can make it to the big dance again and what a feat that would be considering what he lost.  Of course I'm hoping they have to travel for that sectional but we both will have the better teams regardless.  I'm already excited for January and February

We got Hampton tomorrow night.  It's not a district game anymore but you won't convince these girls its not.  It will be electric at sonny Smith 

A heads up for Hampton and Cloudland fans. Coach T scoreboard does not show the game being streamed. I just checked out the NFHS site and that network will be streaming both the girls and boys games tonight, starting at 6 P.M. Should be barnburners.

    • 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.
