Came down to coaching when Upperman beat Tullahoma to start region play.  Coach M definitely out coached the two 8AAA coaches she has faced this week and it was no contest and definitely not a surprise when you see who the coaches were.

If it comes to coaching in the Region Finals I will take her over Dodgen any day of the week.

Yep

Yes it was!  I was there last night and they were terrible in that game as well. Halfway into the game, The players were afraid to play defense for fear of fouling out. 

You guys should come over to the western side of the state... bet they're every bit as horrible, but nobody's fouling out! Rough play to the extent that fans get chippy and play gets sloppy. Plain and simple, basketball talent is negated by very physical play that gets worse as the game goes on with no (very few) calls. Shooting fouls are still called, but hand checking with both hands isn't... charge/block fouls may or may not be decided by a coin flip at the rate that they get them wrong both ways, and moving screens, grabbing cutting players, and this "euro step" garbage allowing three steps on a shot attempt is awful. Worse even than all that, the NFL has nothing on some of these high school kids when there's a loose ball on the floor.

I know little to nothing about Heritage. Strong guards or???

I don’t know much either. They are obviously pretty good. Definitely no cupcake like in previous years. However don’t think they can matchup against Sparta as very few teams can. Dodgen needs to use his post players more IMO. Jones and Reed are dynamic and hard to guard on the block. Upperman was at a distinct disadvantage down low but credit Coach McWilliams for having a game plan and the girls for executing it to perfection early on.

    • 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.
