I know Anderson had the Cinderella season last year and played a brutal schedule this year, and Greenville is a juggernaut in 4A. But whoever wins this game, what kind of chance does the winner have against Anderson or Greenville?

Hard to say, I don't think these teams have faced off before. According to Massey, AC and Gville both are 2 TD favorites against either the U or MC. For both teams sake they better hope AC wins because the 3+hr drive to Greeneville won't be enjoyable. As for the Bees I don't think they've shown their full potential for a full game yet. If they play lights out 4-quarter football they will finally get over the semifinals hump

Agree with that of city comparisons, but pulling kids from 75,000 Putnam County and competing with decent programs like Monterey and Cookeville. Cookeville is the baby of the schoolboard, just look at the facilities they have. Also competing with other traditional sports like and ones like Lacross and Wrestling. Most 4a schools don't even have those sports.  Macon population is around 28,000. But MCHS is the main show, RBS is the little sister. The gap and pulling power is way more equal than you think on the surface than just looking at county population numbers. From athletes in Westmoreland, Trousdale, Red Boiling, and Hermitage Springs finding thier way to MCHS. The more you win, the more you draw. Always has been, always will be. 

Ok I can buy Players from Red Springs going to Macon, maybe a very few from Westmoreland (most actually live in Macon BTW) and HS but zero chance Football players from Trousdale play at Lafayette. I can believe some from Macon playing in Hartsville. There are former football players in Hartsville that have never paid for dinner.

    • 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.
