Every year I am amazed at how many points the Governors score during the regular season. I am also amazed that I never see many of their kids running in the state championships. Last year I saw two boys run, and two girls. How could a team that scores so many points and wins so many meets have that few of athletes in the the State Championships? I know in track numbers are the way to win, but they still have some good athletes that could compete at the state level.

Danielle Sampley is a big contributor (she competes and usually wins in 5 or 6 events) to this team and the last two years she has been injured early at state and has been unable to compete in the State Championships. If she can stay healthy she should be a force for WBHS.

 

Danielle is a tremendous athlete and a great kid who definitly deserves a chance to compete at state healthy.

Danielle did not get to compete at the state meet last year. She was qualified in the long jump, 100 hurdles, 100 & 200. As she was also competing in the state pentathlon, she sprained her ankle and could not compete in Memphis. She was at the meet , on crutches, to cheer on her friends. Thank you for the well wishes and hopefully this year things will be better.

This year SHOULD be different. I expect us to at the very least finish in the top 5 in girls, boys top 10. Coach Frary is doing a wonderful job this year, as always. Danielle is a great runner, she may win 3 or more at state this year if she can stay healthy. She is also a great person, though. I've never seen her without a smile on her face. I'll be there in Memphis to cheer them on! Can't look to far ahead, though. Big meet today at UT.

    • 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.
    • 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.
