If 6'4 wins state this year at any class I will be the sickest human around. I got 6'4 at state last year and took home the 4th place medal. The kid from McMinn is garbage. If Adams had been at BOP no one would even know this kids name. By the way has Adams given up on the high jump? I know he broke his foot last year but come on it's his senior year and it's only jumping.

Haha. Quit your trash talking man. You obviously don't know what you are talking about since BOP hasn't even happened yet. It's tomorrow. Robert may not be jumping anything outstanding right now but I guarantee you that everyone that keeps an eye on the field events will know who he is next year.

Thats it?  Is this a poor jumping year?  Most years it takes about 6'7" or so in order to get the win.

No, i was i just wondering if 6'2" - 6'4" was good enough to squeeze past sectionals and into state.. not if it would win.

Theres a lot of kids around the state that can jump high (see every high jumper at Science Hill), but not all of them can actually HIGH JUMP. For instance, I was jumping in a meet in upper east tennessee and two kids were in the meet from Science Hill. One was probably about 6 foot 6 and the other was probably about 5 foot 6. Both of them were good jumpers, infact they both scissored 5'8", but neither of them knew how to flop. I am trying right now to teach two kids in college how to high jump properly, they both can clear over 6'2", but one of them takes off on two feet and the other only wants to superman dive over. A leaping ability can only get you so far in this sport, its the grace of the "flop" that makes it great.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
