Greeneville coasts over Science Hill

To my understanding, the only county player on the Greeneville Varsity basketball squad is Seth Ottinger. He is a junior, not a starter, and gets very little playing time. Though I do think he could be a starter on any of the 4 county squads.

and doesn't Ottinger's mom and grandmother work for the Greeneville City Schools. That would probably be the reason he comes into the City.

And in the state championship years check where some of South Greene girls came from. But in my opinion if it is a school system (like Greene County) a person should be allowed to attend where they want to. Some school might have a band program where another does not. A certain school might offer academic classes that another may not. Such as Greeneville versus some of the Greene County schools. The county schools have made great strides in the last few years. Talking about South Greene this year they have some good freshman on the basketball team that went to Towering Oaks School. I am not sure where all of them live but they all decided on going to South Greene.

I agree 100% and think that a parent should be able to decide what is in the best interest of their child. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way in all school systems. Just a couple of years or so back M-East had a player that for whatever reason did not fit into the coaching styles of the East coaches and got very little playing time. His parents had to move to the West side of town in order for him to be able to attend West. They did that, and not only did he start for West but was first team All-IMAC. I am sure that they would have rather paid tuition than move.

Actually, Greeneville has 3 students who live in the county on Varsity, Seth Ottinger, Matt Underwood who it out right now due to injury, and Wes Woods. but good call, and on the other hand.....about parenst sending there kids to the county...maybe in other places but in Greeneville Greene County; Greeneville High School has more to offer and is better in athletics then all the county schools combined....

What the heck do "recent transfers" have to do with school size and playing up? People change jobs and relocate their families all the time. I am sure there are plenty of transfer students in various sports all over East TN. Why is it such a big deal that these kids parents relocated to Greeneville? It has been listed as one of the 100 best small towns in America. Who wouldn't want to raise their kids in a great little town like Greeneville (or JC or Blountville or Maryville or just about any place up here in God's country) Greeneville plays up because all of their biggest rivals are in a higher classification. A good rivalry makes everyone better. I hope this one with SH continues for a very long time.

 

If someone as good as Antaine Wiggons moved because of his parents or some other reason, why would he go to Greenville Tennessee of all places.... sounds to me like there was a lil recruiting involved...

You know Jaylo, I will try to explain this so that your very limited capacity can possibly grasp it. People move to Greeneville all the time from other states. There are Fortune 500 companies that operate here. GreenEville has a lot to offer, particularly in the field of EDUCATION, of which you have obviously been deprived. I am sure Antoine's father weighed the benefits of moving to Greeneville heavily before relocating his family.

What fortune 500 companies are you talking about?

    • 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.
