Preview:

 

2004 W - 28 L- 13

 

Outlook by position:

infield -Both starters (Miller and McLain) return up the middle and are great athletes.

catching-Two of the best in the state both have played since sophomores. We are very fortunate to have two much less one catcher with the talent these guys have.

outfield- We have a lot of depth but only one returning starter.

pitching-A very solid starting rotation not much depth out of the pen but two possible draft picks.

 

schedule-Very strong open season in Lassiter Invitational (GA) and play as good a schedule as anybody-Also play in worth invitational and warrior classic and the usa classic in millington.

 

We have as deep a team as we have ever had and a lot has to do with the injuries we sustained last season. We have had four players sign Division 1 scholarships early this year two SEC Matt Lea-Miss. STate, Zach Miller-Ole Miss, Grey Avant-Ark. STate, Trey Wiedman- Univ. of Memphis, Tyler Watson has also signed to play at Texasarkanna Junior college. We have another couple who will get some looks this spring. If are pitching staff can log a lot of innings we should be as good as we have ever been.

Quote from the Tennessean by Overton player after yesterday's game -

“We’ve been working toward this for a long time,” said Overton senior Allen Bolden, who was 3-for-4 with three RBIs. “It started with us running 20 sprints in conditioning. Before state we were running 50 sprints a day. The harder you work, the harder it is to give up.”

 

Overton's winning streak is 35 games in a row

 

also from the Tennessean-

Overton Coach Mike Morrison plans to start Moore, his No. 4 starter, in the final.

 

The Bobcats will likely have to beat Houston ace Matt Lea for their winning streak to reach 36.

 

“That number is something for another time,” Morrison said. “When the kids look back 10 or 15 years from now, that will be a good accomplishment. Right now we have one goal.”

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
