What do the Dawgs have coming back this year?

[JournalEntry]

They cruised against Central and Carter. Anyone know if they’re playing in the Arby’s this year?

They are not. Maryville and Oak Ridge will be in it though.

What happened? In recent memory they always enter the tourney.

They weren’t there last either. They were there in 21 when the field was really loaded. Finished third in 2017, won it all in 2018 then they didn’t return for 2019. Not sure if it’s Braeden’s decision or the tournament director didn’t extend an invite this go around.

Bearden is in the Sullivan East tournament this week though.  I saw them last night against Tennessee High.  Beat them pretty badly.  Expected Bearden to win but not as bad as they did.  They got a good team.

Do they look like a typical Bearden team with some speedsters and length?

Just seem like they have really fallen off since Blevins has left.

Parrott has taken them to 5 state tournaments. Won it in 2019. Runner-up in 2022.

Really falling off….. LOL

With the recruits of Mark Blevins. Parrott is a perennial .500 coach. Go look at his record while at Cherokee. Cmon guys.

I'm aware of Parrott's record prior to Bearden.

You are arguing two different things.

1) Bearden has fallen off. Results say otherwise.

2) You don't think Parrott is a good coach. That's your opinion.
