There is no doubt that Region 1 3A is the weakest in the state, that is why GP asked to be moved up there, afraid of competition.  Same reason they schedule every terrible team they can find.  Looks like they are not the only school in the county running from competition big brother down the mountain did the same thing for the same reason.

This has probably been hashed out time and time again but why is region 1 at all levels except for teams that occasionally have decent playoff performances so weak? Is it the counties the school systems the coaches the kids what hurts it so much in football?

I grew up in upper east tennessee and in my opinion schools have stop taking football seriously.  The fans still take it seriously and the coaches and teams do during the season.  But there seems to be little accountablility to players in the offseason and coaches don;t seem to be willing to change there offenses and defenses to best fit there players. This is not the case for all of the teams but most it seems

Also, some coaches and schools in this like GP and Bearden would rather spend all of their time trying to recruit better players instead of making the ones that are already there better, you know the ones that grew up cheering for those teams and the ones that are willing to play all out for the school.  Not the ones there just for the NIL deals.  But hey the GP coach has a really strong selfie game, not much in the area of character and integrity, but his twitter and selfie game are really good.

Looks like the running back from GP has transferred to Cosby for this upcoming season. Talk about a demotion. Guess his dad will be able to control anything he wants there. A team as bad as Cosby will do anything to win I'm sure 

He's been there since right after the last game, they actually live very close to the school from what I'm told. Dad posted on the Facebooks that he wasn't a fan of the GP coach whatsoever and considered him to be a snake in the grass...

    • 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.
