Megan Porter from Jr. Pioneers (Spring Hill, Yorkville). She is an awesome PG with great handles on the ball going between the legs, behind the back, spinning, etc. She also has a great shot! Reminds me a bit of Heather Butler when she was in Jr. High at Medina. Megan has carried her team to a 14-1 record, I think with the only loss to Medina Middle. We split with them in the reg. season. We play them tomorrow night in the championship of the Gibson Co. District Tourn.

I'm not sure. I know her family but not close to them or nothing. Best bet would be to watch her play and get your impression first and then talk to her and her family. She's VERY GOOD! We played Medina in the Dist. Championship tonight. We were down 7 at the start of the fourth quarter and she took over and we won by 6. It wasn't just all scoring that she did but stepping it up defensively getting steals and rebounds, hitting big shots, and driving to the basket and attracting attention freeing up another player. The Jr. Pioneers will be playing in the TNT Tournaments in Springfield on Feb. 2nd if you'd like to see them play. They also have a GREAT shooter in Taylor Hassell as well. If you leave her open you mine as well put 3 on the board.

One of the Best, if not the Best is;

 

Danielle Ballard (Memphis Snowden Middle School)

 

I say one of the Best, if not the Best because I am unsure about what grade a couple of players is in.

 

Shacara (name probably mispelled) Clarkville/Nashville area

A couple of players from East Tn (Morristown, Jefferson City area)

A couple of players from Middle Tn

 

All played 13under AAU in 2007

 

Danielle was clearly the better player, along with the Lady Shox post player (Shacara- sorry 4 the misspelling)

 

 

ptguard12 can, I'm sure shed some insight on this.

    • 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.
