I said early on I’m going to take York against the field in this tournament. I still stand by that. If they do win it all they will have earned it. GC is absolutely loaded with talent and will be a very tough team to beat just like McMinn Central was yesterday. no easy games in this tournament for AA

Appreciate the compliment. York is very good as is GP and Loretto. We knew AA was loaded. Always a blessing to be here for sure.

Congratulations to the Gibson Female Pioneers on the hard fought win over Huntingdon Female Mustangs. Huntingdon Female Mustangs have young talent coming up and will be back. These two semifinal games this afternoon should both be dandies. Gibson Female Pioneers are good but so is York Female Dragons. York Female Dragons will try and breath fire on Gibson Female Pioneers. In the other game you will have Gatlinburg Female Highlanders taking on Loretto Female Mustangs. These will be two great games. None of these four teams will be able to mercy rule the other teams. It will not happen. I guarantee it. Do you want to bet me? I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

I will say this.  Everyone said going in that the quality of basketball in AA was great and yesterday didn’t disappoint.  Outside of Bradley central the next 3-4 best teams are in AA.   

Yes AA games were all good yesterday!  There are some really average teams that played in 1A and 3A games the last couple of days.

Crazy things happen up here. Good to see you today and congratulations on a big win. That was a great game. Both teams played their hearts out. Nothing would surprise me tommorow. All AA games today were in the single digits. Good luck and good to see you again. 

Good luck to you, but don't think you'll need it.  The ole ball coach will pull this one out !

Gibson Co will win by 8 points. Turner will contain Beaty to the best she can and keep her below 20 points. York doesn't have anyone to stop Hart. 

Gatlinburg Pittman will be too quick for Loretto and win by 10-12

GC should play zone, Beaty can’t be guarded 1 on 1, Beaty will guard Hart and do a good job at it. This one will be tight

If York shoots over 60% again, a zone will be the end of GC! I would go man and trap/double Beaty everytime she gets anywhere near the 3 point line. GC is definitely the more athletic team! Make someone else beat ya! She can get into the paint easier against a zone by just good ball movement. If Gibson Co can keep Beaty out of the paint area they will have a good chance to advance! I’ll take GC by 4, I still believe York is a year away from taking the gold ball back to Jamestown!

We have played them twice in the last two years, once this past summer. Hard to guard her man to man. McMinn Central couldn't guard her man to man and they can play defense. Will be interesting for sure. Westview done a great job guarding them the last two years.

I have just seen what zone has done to them the last 2 years

I would do what Smith county did on her and just throw the kitchen sink at her! They had a good shot to beat them by keeping the pace slow and keeping the score low. They made the younger girls from York , Cooper and Werner beat them. Its definitely the blueprint i would go by. I doubt they shoot over 60 percent today on GC, but I saw York win a lot of games this year when they weren’t shooting the best! Scary thing for 2a is they will be even better next year!

Yep Westview's zone has been pretty lethal to many. I know we will have to rebound and get the 50/50 balls. They do a good job with that too.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
