All Star Games

I have always had a question on how they pick the all start teams that play in the TN.KY All Star Game as well as the East/West Shrine game.

 

I see a lot of times, that kids from smaller schools get shunned.

 

Is there a board and if so is the board evenly made up of coaches from all classifications from each region. I know there are limited spots. But it seems to me that a lot of really good players at 1A and 2A schools get passed over. Or Kids who put up huge stats against weak competition get picked.

 

I am not sure that TN has had the best players on the field for the TN/KY all star game in a long time.

 

Also, I talked to a player who played in this game and he said it was absolutely a miserable time. This should be a reward for the players....Not just practice all day and then sleep. I know they are on a tight schedule but they need to do some fun stuff, whether it be a movie or just hanging out.

 

I know of a few kids in east TN that are at small schools that deserve to be picked for this team and Not just from Alcoa.....How do you go about getting these players names considered.

 

Any coaches or others who have information on this, I would love to find out how to get mine and some others a chance to play in the big All Star Games

    • 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.
