Not that I am aware of.................

 

 

 

That's possible...................although I do not own the park (wish I did).

 

If you ran that tournament, then we met.

 

Ironically, you had me play a back to back out of the winner's bracket at about 11:30 PM on Saturday night in that tournament. Had to practically run all the way across the park because one game was scheduled on the field away from all the action and the next game was on the other side of the park. We were in the 14U last year.... Now our opposing sides in that recent discussion make a little more sense..... /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />

I didn't realize their were that many teams in each age bracket. I've never competed at that level. How do teams qualify for this tournament, Brd. Do they take the top 3 from State tournaments or use a point system? Just curious...

 

Regional qualifying tournaments, national qualifiers, state qualifiers. Tennessee was allowed to give two berths this year (1 at the Memorial, 1 at the State Tournament). Region 4 teams can play in the regional qualifiers and get their berth there. You can also go out of region and play at a national qualifier (but you have to win the tournament). At large berths are also available, but there has to be room for at large teams.

Chattanooga Force got the first of TN's 2 state berths by being the last team standing in the winner's bracket of the memorial at tyner fields when the rains showed up Sunday morning.

 

TN Xplosion got the 2nd TN state berth by winning the ASA state tournament in Chattanooga. I believe the same thing may have happened with the rain in that tournament.

 

Knoxville Thunder got their berth by traveling to Cincinnati, OH to play in a national qualifier open to teams from any state. They won 7 straight games to take the championship in that tournament. The tournament had teams from Ga, TN, IN, IL, KY. Interestingly, there were 6 teams fom that tournament that ultimately made it to Nationals. some may have been at large berths awarded to team's from the host state.

 

Not sure exactly which tournament the Germantown team qualified in, but it was in Arkansas. Memphis is not part of the TN ASA Association.

 

It might be noted that Chattanooga Fury had a great 16U team this summer that just missed qualifying at the memorial and the regionals in Burlington, NC. Without a bertth to the USA/ASA nationals, they attended the Southern Nationals where they won the tournament. The win at the Southern Nationals gives them an automatic berth to the 2009 16U and/or 18U USA/ASA nationals next summer.

    • 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.
