Oak Ridge won a NC, but it was in '58. I've heard of the Baylor team. When Oak Ridge had the Coach named Emory something, I think they had a team in the late seventies or early eighties that was ranked high nationally. Thank you for your responses. I know there is no way to tell who the best would be, but it sure is fun to think about/argue/discuss/talk about.

okay guys , debate whose the best but dont bring up the "national championship" stuff . the usa today national championship is comedy . those teams never play each other and for the most part , nobody from usa today ever sees them play . its done on name recognition 1st , wins second . for example , valdosta has won 3 usa todaytitles and never played delasalle or evangel or whoever . its high school football . state champions only . the usa today stuff is exactly what it says , MYTHICAL .

A couple of the Father Ryan teams with Mike Wright and Scottie Madison in the mid 70s were pretty good.

 

That 72 Tennessee High team didn't really have any big "stars", but it was very deep, and well coached. It resembled the Maryville teams of the last 3 years.

 

Another great team was the Melrose team with Ced Wilson, the Tayor kid (first name escapes me at the moment) and the other standouts they had.

 

Another would be the Riverdale teams of Eric Locke and Gerald Griffith.

 

The Chattanooga Howard team with Reggie White and Charles Morgan has to be included, also.

 

There are a ton of candidates, but those are a few that come to mind.

Th topic I thought said last 20 years!! That would be 1983-2003. We are showing our age bringing up the 70's!! HA! HA! Anyway, I think the Marion Co. teams of 1994 and 1995, South Pitt. in 1999, Cleveland in their 3 year run 1992-1994 (WoW at some of those athletes, Cobb brothers, Corey Prigmore, Dante Hickey etc. These are some of the best ever in my humble opinion. :D

    • 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.
