though id have to say knoxnavigator is a moron (haha), Campbell Co. is probably the most underrated field around.

 

Many people may not get to see their field besides Halls, Powell, Central and others in that district, but standing behind the plate at Campbell Co. looking out into the field is beautiful! It gets chilly up there, but it's worth carrying a jacket in. The grass is green, the cutouts are done well.

 

I've played at all the Knoxville area schools for my four years of high school and still around these fields in this area and Farragut has the best field around. I have seen William Blount's field and its a close second, but I'm telling you...it is SMOOTH at Farragut.

 

To me,though, these teams need to spend more time and money working towards becoming better teams than competing on who has the best field. Beat Farragut in a game, not in a comparison of fields. (I know this is all about best field, but this discussion has been going on for several years and people keep putting more money into their fields--good fields dont make good teams--I wanna see some great teams that have crappy fields! haha)

QUOTE(scorecard10 @ Apr 11 2007 - 09:42 AM) 826434664[/snapback]I have been to MANY ball fields in Tennessee over the last 30 years and DB's is the best field I've seen. As for, the Rookie league, J. Fred Johnson Stadium has hosted not only the NY Mets but the Detriot Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates and the Atlanta Braves. If you have not been to the new Rookie League field in Kingsport (Hunter Wright Stadium) then you need to pay a visit there. This field is just as nice as J. Fred.

 

I have to agree. I went to J Fred Stadium this week to watch the Coca Cola Classic. It's a nicer facility than you will find in most small college parks. And the playing surface is kept to near perfection. Unfortunately I think most of us here in Kingsport take it for granted until we travel to other parks.

The BEST fields arent farragut, or w.b...they might have the best view but a popup gets outta there..i have never seen DB's field but i would have to say it would be up there. an old minor league park seems to be a good field. All these teams have people hitting 15 bombs a year cuz they play in cracker jack boxes.

 

The BEST fields in TN are the ones that look good and have the dimensions. Any one know of any of these?

I don't think a field is bad because it is somewhat short. From all the games I've seen at Farragut most of the HRs weren't pop ups. Everyone there knew it was gone when it was hit. There was no question about it. If it was a pop up then there'd be some questions to whether it would leave the park. Farragut's fence is atleast taller than the 4ft at Catholic.

J.Fred Johnson stadium (home of DBHS), Cardinal Park (home of Science Hill HS), Hunter Wright Stadium (home of Gate City HS) and Elizabethton Twins Park (home of Elizabethton HS) are really super parks to play baseball in. The rest are nice but these mentioned are better. Playing surface as well as looking superb is a plus in my book.

    • 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.
