They lost to wartburg 4-1 last night and they didnt impress me much at all. I seen two players get picked off at third from fakes to second thats pityful. I know a little leageu team that plays better fundimentals then that.

Evidentlly you don't know much about the game 03. Was only one out at third and that came from a 1st and 3rd situation where runner on first was stealing, SS came up and cut the throw from the catcher off and caught the runner on 3rd with too big a lead. Runner actually slipped trying to get back to the bag but should have took off for home plate as soon as the catcher threw to 2nd. And for your info, 2 starting OF, starting 1st and 2nd basemen were gone to DC for Senior trip.

Will have to say too, that the pitch for Wartburg wasn't bad.. Probably as good if not better than the best pitchers in 7A.....

From what I saw against Wartburg on fri, I was impressed with a lot of the under classmen. They played good defense, made the routine plays and if not for a misplayed ball or two in the late innings, and a pitch you wish you could have back this game could have easily went the other way. They went to the plate and battled trying to make good things happen and kept their heads in the game going in to a 0-0 5th?(if im correct).

Getting the seniors back this week added with some underclassmen stepping up and things should get rollin and show the potential these guys have got!! thumb

Well even though it was a throw to second that was cut off my sons coach teaches them to watch and look for that. I know now that monterey wasnt as bad as they looked since they had seniors gone(i thought something was up). Coach Coker does a great job with fundamentals thats what he teached throughout the year every practice. Pitching i agree if i remember Daniel was on the mound a Lipscomb signee. He is the best pitcher around morgan county. Lookin at WArtburg down the road they will be tough although after this year they will lose Daniel, Jeremy, Jerreil, and matt and i think their are some more seniors. Wartburg should be good this year and years to come.

PS i know alot about the game and love the game enough to now u gotta be ready to make a split second descion on the base path. In the words of my old coach,MOVE IT OR LOSE IT

phillip2003, tell #45 to act like he's hit a homerun before. I know he was excited and I love to see kids play well on the field. But running around the bases with your finger held up in the air and talkin to your coach is doing nothing but showing the opposing pitcher up. You don't do that in baseball.... Its going to get his teammate hitting behind him plunked.. I guess he just didn't know any better.

For your information the kid did not hold his finger up while running around the bases he put his finger up when the ball went over and then put it down. Since when is talking to your coach a bad thing I'm sure if you ever hit a homerun you didn't talk to your coach either or get excited. Showing the pitcher up would be hitting a ball out on him, and well, he did do that.

When a player runs around the bases acting like he had never hit one over before in his life with his arms up in the air yelling.......what do you expect is going to happen? The next batter is gonna get drilled with a ball. That's that.

This could be true,but a good umpire will toss them after the player is hit.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
