As a fan of east tennessee football (don't worry, my team has been out of the game for awhile), I don't think Jefferson County has the athletes to beat Oak Ridge. It should be close, but I think Oak Ridge wins that one. I think McMinn County has a chance against DB. McMinn has a good team this year. They've always had great offenses, capable of scoring points, but their defenses have been lacking. I haven't seen them play this year, so I don't know if that is still the case. Anybody who loses to Karns can lose to anybody. I don't think this is one of DB's best teams. Don't get me wrong, DB must be good, but it isn't one of their best. After saying that, I still think DB wins. They are very tough to beat at home. Of course, this is just one fan's opinion.

If that's the case, you guys can beat anybody. I always felt like McMinn's D was what kept them from taking the next step. They've had good teams, but they've never been able to get over the hump. In my opinion, it was always the defense. It seemed like you guys always won games 40 something to 30 something. If your D is as good as the stats say and as good as you think, then you guys can win. I'd love to see you beat DB. Regardless, I'm really looking forward to that 3rd round matchup.

Very unbiased opinion from a fan whos seen a bunch of games this year in Region I and Region II.... :)

I think DB will take a tough McMinn County team. I look to see Oak Ridge take Jeff County.

DB takes Oak Ridge in the quarters. (Not sure it will matter much, however. The winner of Regions I & II will get Lincoln County.) :P

I guess Mr Football award finalists arent atheletes. Maybe your right, but it wont be because Jeff CO was out "atheleted"

I have watched McMinn and Oak Ridge play so I don't know much about DB or Jefferson County however I do have a relative that lives in Johnson City and from what I have heard over the years both teams have some dangerous weapons. DB maybe more than Jefferson Co. I just can't see Jefferson Co. beating Oak Ridge. I mean even without Booker they are still awesome. McMinn on the other hand has impressed me but might not have enough to beat DB. I expect it to be region champion vs. region champion. Their is very good chance for an upset on either side though. And whoever posted the post about playing Lincoln County is right. I don't think any of these teams have to good of a chance againt them. Especially at their house "the pit."

I was only assuming that Lincoln Co. would win. You are right it could very well be Riverdale. Of course we have to beat Jeff Co., and assumedly come to your place. Man, what a tough place to win one over the Indians. Good luck with McMinn. I hope we can take Jeff. Co. and still be standing to come up there to beautiful J. Fred Johnson stadium and take on a fine better than expected D-B team.

Hope to see you on the 21st, I think. I've had far too many long rides home from up there.

    • 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.
