Frost Falcons 18U BK eliminated by the GA Vipers. Although coached by Clifford Kirk and pitched by Ashley Frizzell, they only won one game in pool, 1-3. Their first game was a state AAA rematch between Cumberland's Filley now playing for the White Lightning and Soddy's Frizzell playing for Frost Falcons. Frost lost 2-0. I've said it before, I'll say it again.......You gotta have more than pitching.

Wild Things 18U eliminated by the Brentwood Blues. Ms. Rhodes had it going on, but it was the BLues hitting that won it for them.

TN White Lightning 18U eliminated.

Phoenix 18U elimnated.

Knox Thunder 18U eliminated.

Maryville Magic 18U eliminated.

 

The GA teams are the ones to beat right now. They have been playing together for months, since their HS season doesn't start until the fall.

Does anyone know why there was not a gold bracket? It is bad enough having to beat Georgia teams for the Tennessee at-large berth, but quite a few excellent Tennessee A teams were eliminated by Georgia gold teams. In addition, the 18U's were played at Red Bank which were terrible fields for this level of competition. I heard that there were only 75 teams entered, all ages. No wonder. This tournament has really gone down. If not for the at-large berths, I bet there would have been even less entries. Maybe it is time to look at another way of awarding the Tennessee at-large berths!

The 18U games were played on the short fields at Red Bank because Montague Park has been closed down due to Methane gas pockets. The Montague park was built over the site of a former city dump and may never be reopened. One of our coaches told me that there were not enough entries in the gold bracket, so they combined the two brackets You are right about the GA teams. The TN teams that I saw (and that wasn't many) played like they were on the field together for the first time, which was what was indeed happening. Many of our girls were in TN state tourney in MS one week before. Good luck to all for the summer.

    • 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.
