I WAS AT THE GAME WHERE THE GIRL WAS THROWN OUT. SHE HAD A BAD ATTITUDE TOWARD HER TEAM PLAYERS AND THE UMPS THE WHOLE GAME. THINGS JUST DIDN'T GO HER WAY AND SHE DIDN'T LIKE IT. A GIRL ON THE JV TEAM HAD GOTTEN A WARNING AT THE PLATE FROM THE UMP FOR SAYING THE F- WORD WHILE BATTING. IT'S ALL UN-CALLED FOR AND NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THE REST OF THE PLAYERS. BUT APPARENTLY THE WHOLE TEAM WAS GOING TO BE PUNISHED FOR A FEW GIRLS MISTAKES. GOOD FOR THE COACH!!

 

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A FUN GAME!!

I know there is a difference between being very competitive and having a

p*** poor attitude!

I have witnessed several players from Blackman using foul language after striking out or not getting a strike called while pitching. The attitudes that some of these girls have is totally uncalled for. It makes the other members of the team look horrible. Coaches need to start sitting those kinds of players on the bench a few times and maybe that would teach them alittle respect. It kinda makes you wonder .....how and why they get by with acting like they do.

Sounds like (1) strong players and coach wants win, no matter what (2) coach's pets (3) politics (4) coach is blind & deaf.

 

I don't know anyone involved, just giving an opinion.

 

I also agree that a lot of the problems with children are traced back to their enviroment at home.

There was a father from Blackman that the Tennessean wrote an article about that was very abusive during the Blackman / Riverdale game. The column took up the whole left side of the page. What he said during the games would have caused a fight anywhere else. I was at work and didn't hear it but heard all about it.

Seems that particular father has not only acted up during the Riverdale/Blackman game but many others as well. I witnessed the 3rd baseman/pitcher and another pitcher actually laugh at the umpire when they didn't get a called strike. The dark headed (black haired) pitcher said "what the f**k" is he looking for those are strikes". I could hardly believe my eyes and ears, then while batting there was a strike called on her and she said "s**t" and rolled her eyes then proceeded to laugh at the ump. How pathetic is that! Someone needs to take some kind of control. Because it is apparent that the parents aren't doing anything to correct it!

I totally agree about seeing some girls using foul language. I've watched almost all of their games and some of their players are out of control. The girl who got kicked out of the game Monday night is kicked off the team because it is her second time this year getting kicked out of a game. But it all goes back to the coach, she doesn't have any discipline of her team. I personally dont think that they have that great of a coach when it takes her a player getting kicked off of her team to realize she has no discipline.

seems like alot of people are at fault here. Coaches, players...and why on earth would an umpire let the players curse like they do...he/she should of ejected them the first time they said those words. also, if I was a parent on that team, I would of already gone to the athletic director of that school and demanded some changes in coaches.

I think that the Blackman parents are fed up with the coach. I am not on the softball team but I heard that they have gone to the athletic director and complained but I didn't hear what the athletic director said about it. I do know that the athletic director is the one who kicked the girl off of the team, not the coach. It goes to show you what no discipline on the team. To me it looks like Blackman has a lot of improving to do before next year.

They should have never let Jill Booth go. They were very fortunate to have such a great coach and a great person to coach that team.

 

In my opinion, the old school kind of coach is a dying breed. Discipline is frowned upon today by many educators. Coaches of the new school have their hands tied. There are very few school systems left (public) that will allow a coach to guide a team properly. Rewarding the ones that do good and disciplining the ones that are trouble is not the norm anymore. It is the exception. Too many of them will smile and act as if nothing is wrong while their own team is caving in all around them. Leadership skills have flown out the window with teams described by this thread. This problem is only going to get worse as the PC police has the newer coaches scared of their shadows. There is nothing better than a coach that can lead, take full responsibility and filter out all the distractions for his or her team. Very few of those left. I can only say that we have been fortunate to have a coach with ALL those qualities. A true "Old Schooler" that teaches and treats the kids as if they were his own. :)

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
