Iagree that John Templeton and Chris Pollard are very good players. Chris Love has some skills that would allow him to be considered one of the best players in East Tennessee but he sometimes plays outside his limitations or outside team structure. In otherwords, at times he dribbles when he should pass and sometimes shoots with no chance of putting the ball on goal. Maybe these two reasons are why he is not in the middle. Don't get me wong. He has the tools. He is strong, fast, and explosive. I guess sometimmes his choices are not the best for the team. All this said he is still a valuable player, but not one of the best.

Funny how nobody looks at West High in all of this list. I know they have been down the last few years with coaching changes and other issues but to ignore them completely is just plain wrong. Players that should have been included in your list.

Michael Jenkins draws double and triple coverage practically every game. Also Robert Eldridge, 6 ft 5 inches and tougher than any player I have seen.

Other Players to watch at West would be Devin McCroskey, Jeff Keenan and Brad Prosise. All of these guys are sophmores. I think things look bright for the future at West.

    • 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.
