The Aau Pee Wee State Championships have been canceled until further notice.

 

I heard that the Pee Wee State will be rescheduled for the 22nd? Is that the case? If so, that is the same weekend as the AAU Folkstyle World Championships in Detroit. Why would we reschedule our state championship during the AAU Flagship event? Wouldn??™t you expect the best kids from Tennessee to attend this National Event? Don??™t we want our best kids to represent Tennessee at Nationals and at the state championship? Is there any other time we can do it?

That certainly appears to be what everyone is planning to have happen. I think that is a mistake for several reasons.

 

1) the Detroit event

2) it caused them to cancel an event in bristol

3) it is also the same day as the NCAA wrestling championships in St. Louis and I know several coaches who have also bought tickets and booked hotels there who won't be able to attend with their kids' clubs. Heck some kids might even be going to teh NCAA's.

 

Why not re-schedule it to next weekend when there is already an AAU state event scheduled? Yes it would likely make for a longer tournament but that is certainly understandable and more than likely acceptable with the circumstances. I don't think that many reasonable coaches or parents would complain about it.

I think that was a spur of the moment decision. We were trying to get the information out before people left to go to the weigh ins tonight. I will advise Mr.Lauderdale of this and its also spring break for most schools. The next weekend after that would be the nationals in Pigeon Forge and then the Aau duals so we are running out of weekends. Also if you push it out much further you lose a lot of kids to baseball. No matter when it is held it wont work for everyone unfortunatley. We will have to do what is best for the majority. I will post when I have more details. Thx for your input.

      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.
