We moved to Tennessee two years ago today. My son Isaac was going to run away and go back to Florida. He wouldn't leave his room. I made him play summer ball with the baseball team---his attitude got a little better---then I made him play football... He played on a State Championship football team his first year in football. He got to the State Championship in baseball. His first year here he played in two state championships. That doesn't happen very often. By the end of the year his best friends were the boys in the class of 2008. He was accepted like he had gone to JCS forever.

 

Then this year he had the opportunity to thrive on the football field and he chose to go to Lambuth over Harding because he doesn't want to leave home... Get that... In two short years Jackson has become home. It is because of the friends he has made from the class of 2008. When he broke his ankle, it broke his heart and his Dad's as I know all of you are tired of hearing... While he didn't get to play this year the sport he has always loved the most he was still there to experience it with his teammates as they won a State Championship yesterday. So as a father I want to say "thank you" to a fine group of young men: Patrick, Tanner, Blake, Chase, Ryan, Luke, Philip, Chase, Ben, Ed, Josh, Matt, David... got to go back and pull some of last year's fellas---Clay, Greg, Michael... All of you have been in our home---it has been an interstate for two years and I hope it stays the same... It's always a mystery who and how many are going to be at the house each day... I think you guys are unique and have built a bond that will never be broken. I expect you to be friends through life.

 

I also want to thank the parents of these fine young men for your friendship and your influence on my son. Finally, I want to say thanks to the men who have helped show him what true manhood is... It starts at the top... Scott Gatlin, Coach Stewart, Coach Cooper, Coach P, Coach Hudson, Coach Warren, Coach Carson, Coach Morris...

 

What a Ride! Isaac has moved a lot. He was born in California---moved to Georgia---then Florida--- but this is home! Thanks to all of you!!!

 

to me ...THIS IS WHAT HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS IS ALL ABOUT

Since all sorts of thanks are going out, I'll join in. I would like to thank all of the Senior parents. You have been wonderful and all of the cheers that you have done helped make the games special. Mrs. Christy has been a wonderful cheerleader. Mr. Perkins has been "gracious" enough to help the umpires make the right calls at the home games which brings in even more to the home field atmosphere at Murrell Haase Field. All of the other moms and dads have done so much to help the team out.

VolsKen,

 

Congratulations, and Thank You, Brother. It's been quite a ride, and I never get tired of it. Enjoy Lambuth with Isaac.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
