Coach Woods, knows what she's doing when it comes to basketball. With her experience with coaching soddy last year, she helped the boys know how to guard Soddy's point guard. Tney did one heck of a job playing defense against them, and their foul shot % was pretty good. From what I hear, she told them in the locker room, that all they had to do on the free throw line was to do everything theyare comfortable with shooting but rememeber to follow through with your wrist. They shot very well, and they actually looked like a guys team that plays offense. She is an amazing coach, and it was a very close game, Ooltewah could have easily won that game. Soddy really did get lucky. Good Fight to both teams

I think Laura Wood had an advantage coming into the game, concidering she coached Soddy's 6 Seniors for 2 years, and also coached Russel. She knew what she was going to be going up against, but there was not one minute in the game that Shumate was happy about what was going on. He told the team they should have beat Ooltewah by 20, and I believe if they played to their potential, they would have.

Coach wood may have coached the 6 seniors at SD but she had never seen the 10 kids from Ooltewah she had to go to war with. Never practiced with em didn't know their plays etc. And Ooltewah's 2nd best scorer and prolly best shooter can't play on Friday nights. I thought giveing 48hrs notice she did a heck of a job adjusting at first time out down 9-0 to pretty much beat SD the rest of the way out . and you are very correct SD should have beat Owls by 20 only explanation must be hustle and good coaching.

Oh yeah and McNeil wouldn't play for her because of his mother and the other 6 seniors didn't really play much if you look at their record. SD had lot more talent and could score from every positon on floor so hmm guess it was the man defense that kept it close.

haha i know i am not really in this convo between the two of you but Delron is prolly right. If they havent been to a game this year then she hasnt seen what they have. Cause I know I saw her at some of the games I was at last year and that team last year was a totally different team. So she prolly didnt know what she was working with except Murray.

Thats correct we had not been to a game yet this year, Until Friday night.

 

lol russel played for her until the 2 seniors that year Bates and Moscrove wanted him off the team cuz he missed a few practices. then what happened to them? they quit a few games later. It wasn't russ's mom trust me

 

 

Once again you are mistaken because the Coach drove Russel home most days from practice.

The only player that Wood would've observed the closest is the only returning starter, Wes Murray. Other players such as BJ Sanders and Jensen Morgan received minimal playing time last year, therefore she most likely didn't have a good perception of the other players capabilities.

    • 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.
