Minus Obion. . .that's a decent tournament for Class A teams. If Adamsville, JCS, Halls, and McKenzie were in, you would have a good preview of teams fighting to go to Murfreesboro in May.

QUOTE(Baddogg11 @ Mar 4 2007 - 09:13 PM) 826399957[/snapback]Yes it will. Could see arm trouble if not careful.. i Hope at least 100 of those 200 are about half speed. And i played college ball.

 

/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Oh? Your trying to be nice now. Congratulations on your college experience. I do love my son and what he has accomplished and who better to sing his praise than me. But singing his praise and lying are to different things. I would not lie about his ability. And as for 200 hundred pitches was an exxageration on my part. He has two buckets of balls which contain 24 balls and he throws four buckets twice a week. With various pitches. Having lil trouble snapping off his curve but it comes and goes from good to extrememly good. Slider is also great pitch. and two of his balls have developed cuts on them and doesnt like to throw em. So 200 was a stretch. how about 192 and minus the two he doesnt like to throw times two which is 188. And about a third of them is fastballs. He spent alot of time working on deseption for his curve and slider. But I hope and expect him to have an outstanding season which starts this week. Good luck to all players past and present. And remember you heard his dad say it first he will be someone to watch. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Well if it works for him more power to him. I've seen some pretty good pitchers who wouldn't do that. It might be better to go 50 or less everyother day.

who cares how hard the kid throws and actions speak alot louder than words if the kids so awesome i guess i will here alot more of him but he doesnt need daddy talking him up if he is that good you shouldnt have to say a word people would no if he is awesome but throwing that many pitches would tear your arm up and he may have one a state championship or whatever but it sounds to me like he does not have alot of high school expierence my team won a state championship in travel ball to but that doesnt mean that they should put me on a baseball card like it sounds like this kid should be how many d1 scouts are looking at him...............................the past is the past............................

200 pitches in a week, especially during the off season isn't a whole lot. I don't know what all these other people are talking about. It's not but about 75 pitches every other day. A few years back the coach at Martin Methodist had his pitchers doing this very thing in the off season. He realized after a couple of years that his pitchers weren't having nearly the arm trouble as they had in the past.

/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Thank-you. If you pitched a 7 inning game and did well to have 80 pitchs and you threw 2 games a week this equals 160.

The thinking is longevity. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> and you would be doing great to have 80 pitches.

QUOTE(pitching scout @ Mar 6 2007 - 07:07 AM) 826401774[/snapback]I would also like to add that I too have seen Clint Kee pitch while playing in jackson fall ball and I seen some games in the 18u travel ball this last summer. I was very impressed with his patience on the mound. I've seen him get bad calls or fielders making errors to load the bases with no outs and come back and strike the next 3 out to get out of the inning. he has movement on his fastball that will fool some of the best. His curveball also will leave you wondering as your headed back to the dugout. I am going to predict a good year for him and mckenzie and I expect him to be one of the top pitchers in west tn. and possibly the whole state his senior year if he continues to work hard.

 

 

Clint Kee is really not that good..i saw him pitch a couple games in jackson and a jv game last year..i mean he is decent but not one of the best in the west..maybe we will get lucky and have him pitch against our boys when Mckenzie rolls into TigerTown..

    • 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.
