Yep! Isn't it fun? But also sad when a 'friend' loses. I will miss the calls from the nice lady in Ridgeway the past couple of years. I wonder if her son is a senior or will she be back next year?

 

We need someone from the Ooltewah-Farragut game and the White Station vs Wooddale game next week....

 

We are down to the 'elite 8' :thumb:

 

My oldest son actually graduated from Ridgeway last year. My husband has been the head coach at Ridgeway for the last 22 years. He plans to retire from Memphis City Schools in February so this was his last game on the Ridgeway sidelines - which would explain to you why I could hardly talk on those last few phone calls! Ridgeway football is all we have ever known...our blood is blue and orange. As he said to his team last night, he does "not know what the future holds for [me], but Ridgeway will always be home." He has spent 26 of his 30 years with Memphis City Schools at Ridgeway High School but the time has come to move on. He plans to keep coaching - either in a TN private school or crossing over state lines to MS or AR. Know anyone looking for a coach???!!! :lol:

 

It has been fun...you do a great job keeping us all informed. If we decide to go to the White Station-Wooddale game next week, I will let you know. Good luck to you and your team!

So your husband is 'graduating'. Tell him the Riverdale Warriors say "Congratulations!" on the retirement and we wish him well in whatever he does. And that you enjoy having more time to spend with him. It takes a special person to be a coach's wife :thumb: Next time we are over in the Memphis area I'll give ya a call and maybe we can get together at Neely's for some ribs and a sausage and cheese plate!

Neely's sounds good...I'll hold you to it. As of right now, we plan on going to the White Station-Wooddale game so I will keep you posted. If that changes, I'll let you know.

Great! We will have every game covered this week then! Should be a fun night of football. I have always felt like this is the biggest week, because the winner gets to play football on Thanksgiving weekend and the losers (I especially feel for the seniors and their families) have a Thanksgiving week of no football practice or a game to play....

    • 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.
