The running backs in TN are not very incredible. I have seen the best running backs in the state play. I saw Levonte Barber play and he is pretty good. he is powerful and has the speed to break it. Cleveland's offensive line is not very good and he makes them look pretty good. Once he breaks that initial surge and gets into the linebacking corps he is deadly dangerous. I saw Centrals Cassel Jackson play as well. I saw him play McCallie and he was very inaffective. He had talent but the McCallie defense showed what a good defense can do to a player liek that. He had about 55 yards rushing and wasn't very good at all. At this game I also saw McCallie's Chris Johnson and this guy can play. He is a tough runner who is not terribly fast. He is about 220 pounds and is also a dominating linebacker. His speed and power combination make him the best work horse running back in the state. But Levonte is probably the best with those tree trunk legs of his that have that kind of speed. Chris Johnson in a second.

And one little thing, Cassen Jackson from Knox Central had 55 yards against McCallie, so maybe competition level helped him in the first 3 games stack up all those yards.

I don't think so. If you think that Greeneville, William Blount, and Knoxville West are not good competition, then you are sadly mistaken. I guarantee that all three of them will make the playoffs. The difference was McCallie's D-line dominated Central's O-line. They did not have a good game.

Scooter Houston from Jefferson County is the best running back in the state he averages 4 td's a game and 170 yards a game. He doesnt have that much size at 5'9 170 pds. but he is argueably the fastest guy in the state runnin a 4.2 40. So he doesnt use his size he just runs around you. Thats why he is the best runnin back in the state. So that means that no one can catch him.

    • 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.
