Have to go with two "homer" picks here. Coach Roger Perry at Mt. Juliet in his second year has the Bears hitting on all cylinders now. Folks sometimes forget that Robert Hill the Senior starting QB has never played there until this year after moving over from wideout. The linebackers are solid with one of the best one-two punches in the state in Matt Jones and Caleb Knox and the D-Backs are picking up where they left off last year and are on pace to surpass the 18 picks last season. The team is bigger, stronger and faster and the weight room work is really showing this year.

 

Second, Wilson Central's Trey Aric has to be given serious consideration. Did anyone see this team at 6-0? If you prognosticated that, go to Vegas.

 

Still half the season to go and a lot of football yet to be played. This is high school, anything can happen.

Ken Netherland at St. George's is doing exactly what I thought he would do (and hoped he wouldn't!) when he came to St. G from Germantown. He's taking the Gryphons to the top of the DII small school ranks. In a few short years, he's put in his system and has a very good but not dominantly athletic team (unlike the St. G hoops team that has 2 high D1 players on it) and made them the class of the league so far. To put it more bluntly, they have some good talent but not so much to be THIS good. Great coaching job of taking your talent and using it to it's max.

 

They host SBEC this upcoming Friday night and Bishop Byrne in 4 weeks. Neither is likely to win but those are really the only obstacles left in a run to an undefeated regular season and likely run to a state championship. I honestly don't think SBEC has the defense nor does BB have the offense to beat the Gryphs.

 

...but our boys (SBEC) and coaching staff will give it everything they have to see if they can't pull one out. I'll also give props to SBEC coach Butch Veazey who has a squad, with an awful lot of juniors and sophomores and even a couple of frosh playing key roles, playing better than I ever thought they would. The upcoming 4 week stretch of St. G, Davidson, BB, and FACS will be a harrowing one, though.

    • 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.
