I went 100-22 in the big ones contest for a 5th place finish. Not too bad

You mercy ruled your opponents three times. You won 100-22 which is 78 points. A mercy rule win is 25 so 25 times 3 is 75. The difference in your points was 78. I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

So, last night was a night of pleasant surprises...

We played Greeneville in the season finale last night.  The injured Hannah Frye started the game for us.  I was sitting there kind of perplexed wondering what was going on.  Greeneville wins the opening tip and goes down and scores uncontested.  We hand the ball back to the Greeneville player on the inbounds who scores again.  4-0 Greeneville.  We inbound the ball to Hannah who walks down and scores.  Greeneville hands the ball to her again and she scores again. 4-4.  Game is stopped for recognition as Hannah reached 1,000 for her career.

I had no clue when she suffered the season ending injury against Wise Central, she was that close to 1K.

Classy move by Greeneville and the game officials for allowing this to happen last night.

As for the game itself, we won 66-61.

As the boys game is set to begin, Caroline Hill and Hannah brought me and my wife a Thank you Card and a $25 gift card signed by our eight seniors just for being supporters and for not missing a game over their tenure.  I don't have a daughter on the team.  We're just fans.  It brought tears to our eyes that they thought of us like that.  What an amazing group of young ladies.  Hoping Saturday is the beginning of a long and successful post season run for these girls.

Not going to lie, getting to the glass house will be a tall task with Bearden and Farragut in that same sectional.  And even Sevier County being in the same region.  But these girls proved a lot of folks wrong that they wouldn't win the conference after Hannah's injury.

That's a really wonderful story. What a great group of young ladies.

I think moving forward NG has to be the favorite to win these next 2 tournaments.  They just trounced a decent Sullivan east team and are playing their best ball at the right time.  I think their transfer will be eligible in the region tournaments and she will help them.  We are still finding our footing after losing arguably the best sophomore in the state to a torn acl.  We are still in much better shape than last year because of the quality of subs on the bench.  My daughters are gonna have to fill that void and Clawson will get her chance to boost us in the post.  Our offensive output hasn't changed but the defense is not as tight as it was with Blair in the lineup.  I think people will get their money's worth when these 2 play again.  Cloudland role players will have to step up if we want to host a substate game

I think both our teams are 20+ points better than either Cosby or Washburn.  If Cosby hadn't lost their best player, they would be the 1 seed.  Washburn struggled with unaka and I'm not so sure they couldn't pull an upset in the region.  Unaka has improved and if they had a true post, they would take us both to the wire.  I do think it's important to win the district to avoid Washburn.  They would be a harder semifinal match than Cosby imo

Hate to hear losing your star player. Prayers to her and family for healing. Hard to lose any players in HS much less your best. Good luck to you guys.

Thank you pioneer.  The sad thing is she broke her foot playing softball last April and missed summer camps.  She's gonna miss it again.  She's part of a talented sophomore class.

    • 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.
