campaign, registering seven sacks and 19 tackles for loss as Bearden went 8-2 and qualified for the 6A playoffs. It’s that front line, however, that provides cause for concern. Austin Sackett (5-8, 215) started at offensive guard last season. He’s the lone incumbent in the trenches for Bearden on that side of the ball. Junior Dayton Reynolds (6-1, 246) is the tentative starter at center. Harry Patty (6-1, 257) played some on both lines in 2009 and will be expected to take a big step forward in 2010. “He’s a big old kid,” Taylor said. “For him, it’s just making sure he’s in the proper condition where he can play for 48 minutes.” Taylor figures a few guys will have to play both ways on the line, but he’ll try to minimize those situations. He anticipates that the Bulldogs will handle the void at defensive tackle in their 4-4 scheme by committee. At least there’s more stability at the back end of the defense. Returning starter Stefon Stephens joins Young in the secondary. Offensively, Bearden will stick with its two-back scheme. Though Reamer will remain in the shotgun 99 percent of the time, the run game is influenced by classic I-formation principles and is augmented by a passing game fashioned after the West Coast style. Bearden also will run some Pistol—with the QB a bit closer to the line of scrimmage and the tailback behind him. “The key for us is how our D-line and our O-line play,” Taylor summarized. “We’ve got some big bodies. We’ve got some guys who can do it. They have to show that they can do it.” The Final Verdict: Young is among the elite skill-position players in the Knoxville area this season. With all the other returning talent, Bearden has plenty of cause to be hopeful. If the line comes together, the Bulldogs could have quite the season. But Bearden still has a very tough road to the playoffs. Remember that last year, Bearden went 8-2 and still settled for a No. 8 seed. By John Moorehouse
There are a few questions that exist in the defensive line as well as the secondary. For Bradley, it all goes back to having the proper mind-set and being ready to play from the opening kickoff of every single game. “Doing what we’ve done in the past kind of put a bull’s eye on our chest,” he said. “People are going to come ready to play and we have to be mentally focused and mentally ready to play every week. Every week with the schedule we have, it’s going to be a tough challenge.” The Final Verdict: Can anyone beat Alcoa? Right now that looks like the burning question statewide in Tennessee high-school football. With so much returning talent on the offensive side of the ball, a group Steven Fortner, 67 headlined by Epperly, CAK might never have a better chance to upset the Tornadoes in its pursuit of state glory.

Brad Taylor, Bearden head coach, said 3-Minute HWWW “is great anytime guys get to compete. Guys take a lot of pride in their West Knoxville schools.” Scott Meadows, Catholic head coach, said such a Westside battle “is a great idea. I think there's some bragging rights for West Knoxville. I think it's something for the players to be playing for.” Jones said the 3-Minute HWWW competition “is awesome, especially with the great football teams that are out west. It's only going to make people get better and continue to work hard just trying to keep up with the guys that are on top.” “It's pretty thick right underneath,” Jones added. “You've got some young guys like us doing everything they can do to try and get up that ladder and be in the middle of that mix.” Bradley added, “Anytime you can be crowned the winner of some type of trophy or be recognized for excellence on the field, that’s always a positive.” By Alan Sloan
