Predictions, I'll go with:

Oak Ridge over Dorman 

Maryville over Independence 

George Wythe over Harlan County 

Imhotep over South Shore 

Kell over Mentor

Jackson-Reed over Mater Lakes 

Tri-Cities Christian would have been a nice team to add in this tournament. There boys seem to be pretty strong, and I’m sure they would have brought many fans. Wonder why they’re not playing?

Man, OR coach must of been ready to go home. You just can’t put yourself in a position to get a technical right there. 

What happened? Not there, but we got smoked in OT. Did have one of, if not our best player out in Cooper Williams though. Not sure why he didn’t go. Certainly didn’t help.

That sequence of the Dunk going down and getting knocked back out by the Dorman player was crazy. Don't think I've ever seen anything like that. Glad that didn't turn out to be the deciding two points in the end.

I was sitting behind the Oak Ridge bench. Ref told him it was for yelling at him and being out of the box. 

Kinda lame honestly.

Ridiculous. You can’t T up a coach like that in a situation like that unless it’s just ridiculous, in my opinion. Sometimes I wonder if refs are out there to do their jobs fairly, or just out there to be the center of attention.

Start of OT Dorman player drove and finished, foul called. Idk what was said between coach and ref, it did look like the ref went over and warned him, I thought it was just about the being in the box but maybe it was that and the complaint. They line up at the free throw line and something was said and ref gives him a T. Ended up being a 5 point swing to start OT.

Welp, that pretty much did us in sounds like. Over before it even started.

For those who have watched Mentor and Kell so far, what are your thoughts on this semifinal? My hunch is that if Mentor had so much trouble with GW, they will have a very tough time beating Kell unless they really turn it around defensively along with maintaining a high efficiency of offense. I know Kell has a guard committed to South Florida. Any other big time players on their team?

    • 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.
