I saw what you did with the anchor there admirals.

Coach Cummings did not do his history homework before he took the Cleveland job. Or he knew the history of Cleveland HCs after Benny Monroe and thought so much of his coaching ability that he could change that history. Wrong. After Benny Monroe left Cleveland, no HC has lasted more than 3 or 4 years as the HC at Cleveland. I think l am right on that? Maybe someone can correct me. Don't want to be accused of spreading false information on the T. I even think they went through some alumni as HC also? I think there HC there now has been there 3 years? And he really has not burned it either.

Blue Back Herring, threadfin shad, skipjack, or some kind of bait fish in Ft Loudoun and other lakes/rivers in Tennessee and other states.

Todd was going no where but Central, No matter where he lived. To think he was supposed to go anywhere else is dreaming. I don't know for sure but l heard Smith lived in the Bearden zone. Don't know for sure. I heard Cottrell lived in Corryton. I thought that was the Gibbs zone.

Are you implying that Coach Jones is YJA?

Is he planning on sitting out a year or will her apply for some sort of hardship transfer through TSSAA. I still think there is a 20 mile rule to go from private to public. He could move to a school far enough away and enroll there to establish a history away from Catholic. It's been tried before but l think TSSAA takes every transfer on its own merits. Might take some deal making or an attorney but it might happen. Good luck.

Hey RPO, just type in his name and there is all kinds of information on Coach Jones.

Hey Barn, thanks for the update. Some posters on this thread seem to think Coach Jones can bring some talent from outside of the BHS zone, maybe from the east side like Powell has brought in. That has always made things better at BHS.

Hearing that Coach Jones has brought in Coach Potter from HVA to be the DC. Just what l heard. Don't know for sure.

Beardens MAC teams have been very good the last few years. I don't think talent is a problem at Bearden recently. I think the problem has been getting the talent you have coached properly.

Maryville QB 1 was never going to be a Bearden football player. Josh Jones or anyone else was not going to keep the Jones boys at Bearden or from playing football at MHS. Dad played at Bearden but decided to take his boys to Maryville. The head baseball coach at Maryville was a teammate of the dad at BHS. That might have had something to do with why the Jones boys went to MHS. Or one reason might have been the HC that was hired by BHS in 2014. The dad might not have wanted his son to play for that HC.

Well the so called step up will have to be proven on the football field. Will BHS get Baby Falcons, CAK, or the Powell flying circus. No HC experience at a 6A school is questionable at the least. Maybe there will be an assistant HC that knows the ropes that the principal has a relationship with or has confidence in. Bearden is a difficult place to reach those high expectations. Very high expectations but never doing what it takes to reach those expectations. Bearden parents/boosters that get involved in sports that don't get what they want out of a coach don't go to the principal that signed off on the HC hire, they go to central office to air their displeasures. Good luck to the new staff, they will need it.
