If I were the coach of Western I don't know if I would want someone who quit, especially this late in the season. It sounds like she got her scholarship and quit caring about her team.

 

 

 

your wrong. there had to be a very good reason for Owens to quit. She has never "quit caring" about her team. Her scholarship shouldn't even be questioned at this point. You must not know her to say that.

It was not a matter of not caring. It was something that she made up her mind about because she thought it was best. I'm sure it was not easy for her to quit. She's a great girl.

If the coach did step up, good for her. Anyone who has kept up with Columbia athletics knows that the coaches have been run over by the players and parents for years, with no support from the administration. In fact I would say it starts at the top. That is the reason for the sorry state of affairs with the boys basketball and football programs. This didn't happen over night. It has went on for years.

The same situation occurred with Armstrong as with Owens. Threats to the coach, not following team rules, bad attitude, etc. Coach Moore is an awesome coach who is very strong with discipline which is a very good thing especially at that school. Armstrong as well as Owens had an attitude problem and did not get along with teamates and/or the coach. Both have lots of talent so who knows where it will go from here. Talent without discipline is wasted talent. Look at Columbia's football team as mentioned in a previous post. I wish the best to Owens because she is a very talented player. Let's just hope she can get her act together when she gets to Western.

Didn't Armstrong go to like 3 schools in 4 years, get a scholarship to West Virginia and then transferred from there? Doesn't sound like a coaching problem to me. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

 

I don't know the circumstances surrounding the Owens girl, but sometimes there's a difference in playing 'with a scholarship' and playing 'for a scholarship'. The down side to signing early.

 

Good luck to the Lady Lions. They have enjoyed more success with Coach Moore over the past few years than at anytime that I can remember. She must be doing something right.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
