Why is West TN so good?

I don't think it because of the size of the area. Knoxville, Nashville, and Chattanooga are all large areas as well. So what makes west TN so good. I do not dispute the fact that west TN has the better teams (top to bottom) than any other area in the state but can you tell me why?

And why does it not correlate to girls basketball, where the better teams are normally from Middle TN i.e. Shelbyville, Mount Juliet and a few years ago Lawrenceburg.

Thats funny......but ignorant. Tell me a team in middle or east TN that has played a tougher schedule than Bolivar, Raleigh-Egypt, Mitchell, Ridgeway, Fairley, Northside, or Whitestation?? Theres not one. BA may be close but playing 1 ranked opponent doesnt make them better cause most of these teams have played more than 1 team that has cracked the top 25 this year.

 

You cant go where ever you wanna go to school....its not like you can live in Memphis but go to school in Bolivar.

I'm gonna tell you that MLK has played many teams that have cracked the TOP 25 this year. David Lipscomb (20-8), Greenbrier (19-8), and Station Camp (20-9) are all district foes for MLK and all of them are TOP 25 teams in AA at this moment. MLK swept them all, so there is six wins right there. MLK lost to Brentwood Academy, who is pretty good to say the least. MLK also lost to Fairley (23-3), who beat Mitchell this year. They are like the ONLY team in the midstate to go out and play the best night after night, but the point is that they do just that. That is why they will be so tough for anyone out west to put out of the 'Boro next month, AGAIN....

    • 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.
