ABOUT THE BULLDOGS

Coach Jeremy Parrott led the Bulldogs to the Elite Eight at the TSSAA State Tournament last season, their fourth trip in the last five seasons. Bearden is the only team in the 2021 Arby’s Classic to have claimed the tournament title, winning it in 2018. The 2019 Tennessee AAA State Champions are led by 6-6 Darian Bailey, who dropped in 15 points and five rebounds a game last season, while 6-1 Elijah Bredwood scored 12 points to go along with four rebounds and 3 assists a game. The Bulldogs will also rely on 6-5 Walker Kyle (8 ppg, 4 rpg) to get the job done offensively.
