As far as the booster club goes that isnt written in stone just yet. There is a meeting tonight and I will be there and trust me i will let my opinion be know about it. I just hope that Maynard is there to support his speed training idea. (I guess if we had had that speed training last year we would have won more than one game.) As far as the need for speed training from "experts" ive been around a lot of programs that didnt have it (the coaches taught speed training to the players) and those programs did just fine. In response to the survey My personal belief is that they should be put in the trash. We as a booster club tried to give Mrs Jenkins feed back and she chose to give us a survey instead of meeting and talking. I for one dont want to fill out worthless paper and then wait 3 or 4 months for her to come up with a decesion. Resolution now one way or the other is what is needed. If she refuses to meet whit us, then the answer is like we both said skip her and go to the next level. All these things need to be adressed tonight at the booster club meeting.

Maryville, Central, Halls, Powell, West. That will be a much easier schedule.

You maybe right about the freshman game at sevier co. i forgot about that one. As far a the survey your right if you notice the questions its a fail safe way to keep maynard. In my opinion all Jenkins is doing is finding a way to keep him, If all the surveys come back negative she can say "looks like you have some areas to improve in. work on them next year." As far as Hill goes all he will tell ya is that Maynard is a good guy with the kids best intentions at heart. And according to him, I guess thats all that matters when it comes to coaching. Win loss record is not important. Jenkins is in her first year and 1. dont care about football and 2. is scared to do anything about it so she will keep maynard instead of rocking the boat. Hill and Maynard are old bud's so he sure isnt going to do anything to get rid of him. The only way we will see change is if 1. The majority of parents go to the principle and complain and if that dont work start calling the main office downtown and complaining. 2. The booster club takes a stand. (I noticed on her survey she asked about the booster club.) If the booster club will say "no more money till something changes" you might see a difference. Things like the new tv and remote about $5000 and the little things like when the school called 2 nights before the first game and said we had to provide 30something meals to the press box, the new weight room, and several other things. If that is cut out and they have to spend their own money or do without then we might see a change. I hate to do that to the kids but at the same time Maynard and staff are more hurtfull to the kids than some money.

Bulldog75, Ill say this as far as experience goes i have several years coaching in a 5a highschool in south georgia. (same region as Valdosta, you might have heard of them) As far as a former coach watching what is going on out here there are Many Many things that the coaches do or dont do that contribute to our record. As far as the community goes unless you have a vested intrest in the team its hard to get excited about a program thats struggling, therefore its easier just to say "thats bearden" Many times when you even do have a vested interest in a program and dont have any answers its easy to say "thats just bearden football" I dont think that anyone is accepting bearden losing but its just easier to say the above than it is to try to do something about it and change it. BUT like i said in previous post, If the ones who care about this program and really want it to suceed will unite and take a stand you will be amazed what kind of changes can take place. Word of caution however, even if we do get in a new coaching staff, dont expect to see a 10 season next year, give the new person time.

As orginator of the orginal post (which means nothing) I would like to say that the time has come to put our differenced aside, 9th 10th 11th or 12th graders and parents. We are all on the same team. As parents, players, and fans the time has come to take a stand and demand change in this program. After receiving the letter today sent out by the principle it is obivious that she is not going to change anything with out a lot of parent recomendations. We need to let her know that even though she values Maynard as a teacher and will keep him for that reason we believe that she can find a better Drivers ed teacher and Football coach to run this program. There is a booster club meeting thursday night at 6. we need to have as many parents players and fans there as possible. We dont need to accept that the principle will handle things we need to take a UNITED stand and convince her to do whats best for this team. Lets put the bickering aside and unite. If we can do this in 2 or 3 years we wont care how the freshmen were or werent treated this year because we will be a team.

Ill agree with you on many aspects of this team and this season. Yes the freshman do have some potential and could impact the season next year in certian positions. Your right they did not ask for the advantages they recieved and blame should be put where it deserves to be. However, I must strongly disagree with the coment that the 3rd string was in in the 2nd quarter in the DB game or any game for that much (i didnt miss a game). In reference to the 57-0 game our starters played every down of that game. (maybe an exception here and there but not many) I even asked coach Maynard about the reason for this (and was given an answer that DB never took out their 1st string.) I can tell you for a fact that my son was 3rd team in his position and never steped on the field during a varsity game the entire season. The Main Key you said on here is that as parents we need to be unified. You made a point that with the "right coaching, BHS will be back in the balllgame" As parents we need to stand together and demand that the right coaching be put in here.

Did you recieve the letter Jenkins sent out. She in my opinion really blew off the booster club on this one. Who knows what will happen. Maybe im wrong and they might actually be lookin into it.

No matter who wins should be a whale of a game. Ill be there for sure.

Have seen things like that happen before. Even seen an apartment rented for a familly to move to in a certian school zone.

be nice to have the knox schools in one region now instead of spliting them up like in the past.

Your right i was being sarcastic. "Fire Maynard Now"

I have always said there are a few kinds of coaches. 1. Great builders = bring a program out of the ashes and make them respectable again, but cant seem to get to the next level. 2. Guys who cant build but can take an average team and make them very competative but cant seem to go all the way 3. Guys who can take a great team and make them champions. 4. Maintainers= Can take a team at any level and keep it there. Just because a coach comes from a program that has been a traditional power house doesnt mean that he can make a cellar dwellar into champions, it takes a special person to do this. I dont know if Whethers is the man or not but, whoever it is needs the support of the players, parents, and school staff, and fans.

If like last year we wont even start a new workout season till about mid jan. So if he playes it right this year we can wait till we have spring practice in Feb. and then start lifting weights after that, maybe around March.

Brown is gone. One of the football assistant coaches is the new head coach and the GREAT Paul Maynard is the assistant wrestling coach.

Untill you get some quality coaches in here who can prepare, motivate, and coach i dont think anything will change. and bulldg75 i think youll agree with me on that one.

what a question

for all the hype they have been spreadin i have to agree with ya.

Most of us would take either of the first 2 you listed here. But unfortuately i wish i knew.

thanks for the report. Good post. Good luck next week.

After tonight with the exception of DB it's obvious that not only our region was down alittle bit, but also region 2 was up some. Who's got the best and strongest up coming team for next year? Who's bringing back the most returning starters and who has the strongest senior class for next year? Go ahead and give us a preview.

Id like to see Farragut win but like i said in previous post. They better bring their AAAA++++ game to do it. Good luck next week.

from Bearden not CCChs. and just callin it like I see it. Farragut better bring their AAAAAAA+++++++ game if they want to beat OR

Im like you this should have been a blow out all the way even with out Harris.

Farragut had a great year but looks like it will probably end next week.

They should have blown this one out. Anyone saw the game give us a report?
