Let's wait until you've lost 18 in a row to make that judgement.

 

Congratulations to Loretto on their win.

 

There is a way to show some class, You would not have liked it on your field in Kingston springs either, it is a respect thing, they could of shaked hands on a good win and then celebrated, to not shake your opponents hands after any match is disrespect.......it wont be forgotten. Why dont you worry about Harpeth "winning out" /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> You have me mistaken with someone else. I didn't say Harpeth would win out. I didn't even say that Harpeth's JV would whup East's super sophomores 26-0 last Monday. I took a higher road as I recall.

 

My point is that it's all hunky dorey for a new football program like East to go through some growing pains and experience a losing season. It's expected even. When a proud program like Loretto that has had a lot of success historically and is experiencing some tough times, the pill is even more bitter to swallow. I'm just congratulating them on getting their win this season. I've been in those shoes for the last 3 and I know what it feels like. If the kids take out some of their frustration by jumping up and down on the grass, I'm not going to be the one that calls them classless. They should, however, shake hands win or lose. My kid would anyway.

 

'Class' is a two way street in these affairs eaglepride and it doesn't stop at the players and coaching staff.

I think he meant that loretto tarnished thier only win by making a low class move by doing what they did. It was classless, I was there too, but those folks know not what they do..... East will not forget that little stunt.

 

 

 

Coach Jones has to adjust to this first year of running the football program, many of the players who quit due to Injuries that this program failed to recognize, talent that this program should have redirected or been able to identify, and yes even players with simply the wrong attitude. The players with injuries lost respect to Coach Jones because he took too long to adjust to this program and its first year, he also lost respect with players put in positions that they were not suited for, the other players were rightly released. Any Coach should require respect and build a good program, but be correct it watching the injury list (have a list!!), be correct when a player is not suited for a position (not every player is a receiver). Not against Coach Jones!!!! He has a good deal of work to do, Good Luck coach Jones!!!!!

    • 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.
