Its funny that this is such a quick topic after the new coach was hired. Maybe the last coach thought it was best that a stuggling 1a team not play a dominant 3a opponent, in the programs best interest. He probably should have looked after his own best interest.

 

Maybe the last coach should not have signed a contract and then backed out in May. Polk has a mid-2A enrollment but plays up in 3-A. Enrollment never was a problem back when Basin was beating Polk.Coach Daily is a competitor and will try to schedule Polk in the teams best interest. Their players want to play!

We were told that we, the PCHS softball team, could not play Basin for the safety of the kids. That is the reason baseball and volleyball can't play Basin either. Even though PC and CB are in the same district, a complaint was filed about this for the volleyball team but the response remained that it was for the safety of the kids that they do not play. According to the higher ups in Polk, it is a safety issue (for all sports) and has nothing to do the cancellation of the Football game.

 

I hope they play again for the simple fact that both teams meet their budget off of one game. You can't beat that and rarely see that in any other school system. A rivalry, if handled right by the adults, is a great thing for high school football.

So, are you saying it was the director's call, instead of Stone's call, because of a saftey issue? This thing is only getting more interesting.

My dad coaches volleyball for Polk County and Basin is in their district, they had to cancel both of those games (wins) which lowered their standing in the district. He filed a Title IX complaint, the matter was investigated, and the answer given to the OCR rep was that the 2 schools were not playing due to safety issues. That is also what we were told when we aksed about scheduling them for softball.

 

That is just what we were told. I am not saying that this is the reason.

Unfortunately, this has happened before, and yes the rivalry was renewed.

 

The whole rivalry is the most absurd thing that I have ever seen. I currently teach at Basin and graduated from Polk. The only thing that comes out of this rivalry is danger for the kids. Parents need to learn that as soon as they lose the attitude toward each other, the kids will follow suit. Right now, the whole concept is dangerous.

 

It is absolutely the worst rivalry I have ever seen and, if renewed, someone will be seriously injured. Believe me, I have heard both sides. It is too dangerous.

      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.
