I thought last year was supposed to be oakridge's year. They had booker and like 30 somethin seniors. I saw them play against maryville in a scrimage at bradley and this years team is better than last years. i had heard this years team was not supposed to be as strong. why is this team better? what has changed in the atomic city? I also heard central of knoxville beat them in passing league. who would win in a real game? could they beat maryville in a real game? will they beat riverdael? this team is exciting. they intrigue me. would love to hear some answers from boyfromsi or others who may know what is making them better thsi year than last.

As great as OR has played, it is still too early to tell if they are better than last year's team. The competition has not been that great. Certainly the defensive backs have not been tested. IF this team is better than last years, here are the reasons I see: 1) The TEAM attitude as mentioned earlier 2) several outstanding players did return - Gulmire, Mitchell, McMahon, others - and are a year smarter and better 3) most of the new starters are bigger and maybe better than last years 4) the unexpected addition of Rick Daniels-Mulholland and Joe Aloi 5) Landon Thomas is actually playing and 6) Revel Coffey has matured into an outstanding playmaker (in my opinion, more explosive than Booker).

 

The test comes this week. Two great teams and traditions. A big play or a turnover could decide the game. I think Oak Ridge wins by a Revel Coffey punt return.

      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.
