QUOTE(compusatman @ Apr 4 2007 - 09:26 PM) 826430187[/snapback]Bud nothing new on the Pinkstons. Anything change at the Tribe camp? If South can't play DB in regular season at least we could scrimmage. What say you. Would also like to know who SHHS is scrimmaging this spring. And Bristol also. Anyone know when they go to pads? May 1st? Will Ring be the starting QB? What is the consensus on Jamie Crawford?

 

 

Science Hill starts spring practice May 5th. Scrimmage schedule below.

 

May 11th - Sullivan Central @ Science Hill 5:00 PM

 

May 18th - Science Hill vs. South Doyle @ Carson-Newman 5:00 PM

QUOTE(compusatman @ Apr 4 2007 - 10:24 PM) 826430255[/snapback]Curt will kill me for this. Ah, maybe not. Today, Solomon beat him in the 100 meters by 1". That's one inch. OK, so Duannah is not supposed to be fast...neither is Curt. Or so you all thought. Anyway, check this out:Elite 11. Would like to see some info on other local players if anyone has it.

 

I didn't see the race so I can't comment on it too much but the Times-News had Duannah first and Phillips third so who was in between that inch? /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Who's to say that is right? Were you there to see it? /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

TopVol...if it's a rumor I'll proclaim is as such. But if I make a statement then that means I personally experienced the moment. If it were something I wasn't sure about then I would have said so. I think you would agree that the newspapers are not always spot-on. Solomon is a very good RB. He is a power back and he's not slow. 11.17 is very fast, especially for somemone his size and from watching him on grass he doesn't look to be quick. He doesn't look to have a superior first step which means he is a 2nd gear RB. Second gear Backs are dangerous because just when you think you have them they hit the afterburner. I wasn't trying to diss Duannah, instead I was surprised that Curt was that close. Curt doesn't look fast on grass either and now we see that he is. Yes, we all know he can run the ball but I didn't realize he had that kind of speed. His younger brother is probably even faster. If I'm not mistaken (note the lack of proclamation), I think Fuqua was a distant 3rd. And yes, it will be a great race to watch when they meet again. I'll try to include documentation next time.

TopVol,

Yes, I was there...Solomon ran 11:17 and Curt ran 11:20...Solomon got him with the lean, as previously stated.

Probably a typo in the Times-News...

 

Fuqua did not run in the 100M...Derick Carr of Elizabethton was third at 11:53 and Lane Dukart of D-B was 4th with 11:56.

In the future when theres a disparity between the Times News and Tri-CitiesSports.com. just remember that Tri-CitiesSports.com will be the correct source.

They've been very wrong before so I'll go with the eyewitness.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
