Now that Spring Fling is over, what media outlets provided best coverage?

from what i was told fox 17 news had amazing coverage of each game. also if you check out the tennessean, bga is on the front page and has another section in the middle. cak and bearden also have sections too. never got a chance to say congrats to cak and bearden. cak, winning 4 in a row is simply incredible.

The Tennessean did a very poor job early on, IMO

.

The CPA/CAK shoot out got one sentence. Period. Had to go online to the Knoxville paper to see the story of a great game.

 

The Tennessean also printed (in two different places) that Franklin HS had made it to the finals in baseball which of course they did not.

 

The Tennessean does a sorry job on HIgh School spring sports.

The Daily News Journal (Murfreesboro) came to our (MTCS) regional championship and sectional / sub-state match. Throughout the season, though, we'd have our opponents' local papers even at our home games, interviewing afterwards and the like -- never the DNJ. MTCS has never before this year won even their first round of the district tournament, and this year the guys advanced to the round of 16; they also more than doubled the school's record for soccer wins in a season. The DNJ did do one really good write-up during our season (at the point where we were 9-0), but rarely did much with individual games. I am surprised at how little attention is paid to soccer in both the DNJ and in The Tennessean.

It was never great in the DNJ, but is worse now that the Tennessean owns the DNJ.

    • 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.
