Do some research first. Station Camp, Madison and White House Heritage are all Public and are playing in the A/AA tournament today.

2 observations -

 

1. The same topic is started by someone every Spring.

 

2. Indian, think about why private schools tend to do better in sports like baseball and softball plus soccer, golf and tennis . I believe it is because of travel teams in baseball, softball and soccer - golf and tennis fall in the category of "country club" sports. The cost of travel teams means that private school athletes are more likely to participate travel team programs. Does the fact that athletes from one school play on a travel team while athletes from another school don't mean that it is unfair?

1-Yes, that's why the title is Same Old Story

2-You make it sound as if no players outside urban areas play club. Whatever the reasons, the results speak for themselves and have turned the baseball and softball tournaments, in A and AA, into a joke.

1. How many private schools won championships in football or basketball this year? Did you hear private schools whine about that?

 

2. I said "private school athletes are more likely to participate travel team programs." Can you give a better explanation?

Day 2 Baseball

 

Friendship Christian 7, Rockwood 6

Jackson Christian 9, Summertown 8

Bolivar 4, Lipscomb 2 (a public win)

 

Day 2 Softball

Goodpasture 3, Unicoi County 0

Trinity 6, Cornersville 1

 

4-1 so far today, 11-2 so far in two days. Does an .846 winning percentage, even with some teams multiplied, not prove a change is needed? It's more than who wins the state, I'm talking about the classifications as a whole and it's an overall bad mismatch whatever the reasons.

 

USJ lost to Goodpasture.

What we are talking about is a select few teams with dominance, not all privates. It is always the same privates in baseball. That is just like any other PUBLIC school that builds a program and exerts dominance. Take Farragut and Bartlett as two examples - especially Farragut. I would put them in the same category in terms of dominance as I would a Goodpasture and USJ. They've all built great programs.

 

Isn't that the explanation that is given by Alcoa and Maryville folks regarding their foosball teams? /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Online, You are 100% correct I made a mistake.. Sorry bout that. Oh by the way the 3 public schools in the state Tourny a/aa lost in the first round.

 

But let me add this...I am not for the split. When it comes to soccer someone mentioned in an earlier post about travel teams being the factor why private schools do so well , and I totally agree with that. But there will come a day (sooner than later) that soccer travel teams will be coached by blue coller Dads/Moms that are not in it for the money (so to speak) and that will be when the public teams will catch up.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
