All District/All Region/All State etc.

I just spoke with a coach in our district, and both he and I are upset that awards are not being announced in the paper and other places. It is the chairman's job to report awards in the paper and elsewhere. Please (coaches) let's get this done! Not that credentials mean a thing, but it is important for standouts to get their due. Coaches may not care about who gets what, but players and parents enjoy reading about their sons. It truly is a chairman's responsibility to report these honors to the local paper. Please post the following here:

It's not that simple.

 

While the chairman "publishes" the results, all of the coaches in the district have the responsibility of getting the information to the chairman in a timely manner. I know in my district, I still am missing information from our coaches (even after repeated e mails). So, if I were you, I would contact your local coaches to make sure they have sent in the stuff they need to in order for this to get done.

 

As far as All State goes, that is not the chairman's responsibility. Area coaches send in their nominee's with stats and such, and they are voted on by a seperate committee. There are two All State committees... TACA and TSWA. They are just now getting the nominees, so the results for that won't be out for a while.

 

As far as "publishing" the results, the News Sentinel puts a TINY (and I mean small) list of the honors in the box score section of the paper. It is rather sad.

There are several ways for a manager to get slackers to fulfill their obligations. Perhaps your repeated emails could be worded differently and sent to different recipients? Peer pressure works.

 

Could folks pass on the news when and if the local paper publishes the tiny results?

Sounds like you have a problem with the Sentinel. What should they do? And if you have an idea, would it include doing this with baseball, softball, too for district and region.

 

Actually, I don't have a problem with the sentinel. I just think they could publish the all district honors on a side bar in the sports section rather than buried in the box scores. And yes, I think they could do this with all the sports. I think this kind of recognition would be great for all sports and all schools, including players from schools that wouldn't normally get a whole lot of coverage from the paper.

 

Stevescarb, a district chairman shouldn't have to put pressure on the other coaches. It is their obligation to get the results back in a timely manner. I think it is a shame that I have to send out even more than 1 e mail, let alone 3 or 4. Your coach was one of the first to get it in, so I thank him and his program.

They still do this for the Prep Xtra team, but that is different than all district.

    • 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.
