Headcoach Matnz problem and he was let go. Sams and other asst. coach then took over and lead the team to the State tourn. Powell made the change after the season to hire a new headcoach. New coach did not retain the asst. coaches. Bearden made a smart move.

Thanks for the update. That will be a great addition to Bearden Softball. I will look forward to seeing Leonard this summer on the 18 Gold circuit in Atlanta.

Leonard was at Bearden last year also. He was at Powell when Heather Peterson was there as the coach, and he stayed one year after she left with Matt Mantz. He is again with Bearden this year as well.

Cant beleive he left Powell after helped building such a great program.Was Bearden any good last year and was he able to have any control like he did at Powell?

Did Bearden get Leonard Sams to coach this year?I thought he was at Powell High School.

Great opportunity for players. Openings do not come often with that team. Will make the drive up to Knoxville.

Kara. If you are looking for the best 16 under team in the area and I think that would be the best thing for you to do, The Knoxville Thunder 16 under team that is coached by Matt Harris I think and is by far the best team in East Tennessee. I know they did very well at ASA Nationals and I have seen them down here beat the Chattanooga Fury everytime they played them.They are well coached. Good Luck

IMO Thunder and Magic is not the best team in The Knox Area in 18A.... The White Lighting quailified for the 18A ASA Nationals last year...and didnt know it til reading this post looks like the Knox Eagles qualified also but not sure. Who does the Thunder have contacts with....and wich Thunder you talking about....The one Monday Coached the one Green Coached They both had numerous kids go to college...but I dont think either is coaching for the Thunder anymore...not 100% sure on that though.

The Knoxville Thunder 18 under teams did noy play either White Lighting or Maryville Majic teams this Summer.Doug Jones coached the 18 under and all but one of his kids signed. Some to UTC and ETSU just to name a few. Thunder Sams 16 under team played both Lighting and Maryville Majic 18under teams.Thunder 16 won both of though games from what I understand. Thunder-Sams 17Gold played 18 Fury Gold at UT Stadium and played to a 0-0 tie after 7 innings.
