15u Boys in Tennessee Tune up


Recommended Posts

The Brentwood Grizzlies won the tourney. There was a loss Saturday night. Got down by 18 in first half with cold shooting, but cut the margin to 7 in the second half. But the winning team was playing with a bunch of 16 yr olds and turned themselves in. Grizzlies would have preferred a rematch, but the team was ejected. Beat a good Franklin County team in the finals. This is year four for the Grizzlies, with the same core group as Day 1. Only 7 or 8 on current roster, but a great group of loyal guys. Drew Kelly continues to shine. Great player, great kid. The other 6 guys all contribute points, play great defense and team ball. The Grizzlies also have outstanding coaching.

There is no doubt that the Grizzlies are a good team. The team that beat them was the Williamson Co. Tigers. They had 3 16 year old players. The way it was told to me is was the 15 year olds that were leading the way for the Tigers. Trey Caruthers of Harpeth and Gary Adams of Dickson and Drew Bledsoe of Fairview scored the points. Daniel Rial of Dickson kept Drew Kelly from totally dominating inside as he usually does. The Tigers 15 year olds aren't as good as the Grizzlies, but they are able to give them a good game. They are also a good group of guys. Played with most of them a couple of years ago.

I agree with that, we knew the Tigers would be a strong team with good coaching. Hopefully we can play again. We didn't feel like we got cheated, we just thought we played the first half cold. We would play up if we just had a little deeper bench anyway. The Grizzlies could probably do quite well in the sub-state and state tourneys this year, but we will never know for sure. The Grizzlies are also open to holding some scrimmages, as we do not plan to play very deep into the summer. All our players will be deeply involved in football by then.

    • 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.
