Prayers from Creek Wood High school in Dickson County.

 

 

 

Hello,

 

This is John from Paducah, Ky. I am Coach Counce's nephew.

 

On behalf of his family, I just wanted to express our deepest thanks to all of you for your comments of support and your prayers for him, along with us. Yes, as you can imagine, we think very highly of James and have been praying for him to emerge from this with his health intact just like all of you have been doing.

 

As I write this, I don't know what his latest status is, but having heard nothing new during today, I'm assuming not much has changed. Last night, the word we had received was very positive, being that it appeared his blockages were treatable and any damage could be repaired. Praise God for that.

 

However, as I told one of James' former players at Henry County in an e-mail last night, a heart attack is a heart attack and we must keep our guard up as far as being totally free of fear until the all-clear is given by a doctor. Still, hearing what we did last night did put us a bit at ease.

 

However, while it may seem rather arrogant, I also must say that it has been a proud thing to see what some of you have said about James and how he conducts himself. From Jackson - particularly JCM, who he also had to battle while at Henry County - to my dad's home of Lake County, those comments have meant a lot. But to see prayer wishes coming from such places as South Pittsburgh and even Carter County, from people that probably have never met James or seen him coach, has just been amazing.

 

So, in closing, and again on behalf of the family, I want to thank you again for your posts and also, with great humility, ask that you continue to pray for not just a great football coach, but also a wonderful man, period.

 

God Bless,

John

I have had the priviledge of knowing and coaching against James for the past number of years. I know him as a quality individual and an outstanding coach. I feel fortunate to be able to be considered one of his many friendsl. To James, his wife, and all family members let me say that my prayers and the prayers of the entire Munford football family are with you. Looking forward to seeing you up and around. May God bless you and care for you! Wayne L. Randall

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
