The schools are in the same county and I've already seen it done over the last two years . There are several kids from Ripley going to Halls because of student makeup , sorry to bring up politics . /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

 

 

 

what does politics have to do with student makeup? that's demographics. and yes, there are some kids going to halls that are originally from ripley just like some of ripley's people are from halls...or even crockett or haywood. let's look at records...the teams that ripley has beat have 4 wins total....three are from one team...bolivar...which has lost it's last three. when is the last time ripley has stepped two classifications to play a superior team? step up one and go play henry co. i think you could expect the same that liberty got...not so good going up. it's easy going down, being the big dog...not so easy when you're supposed to lose...of course, you can stay where you are and beat up on teams that have a tradition of losing and say you are sooooo much better, but then when it comes to your football region, tradition is still there. Dyersburg, Crockett, haywood, and covington are always better...dyer co...now you have to watch out for them. covington is down right now, but you still have to be wary of them...so how much better are you when you play your own people....traditionally not that successful. halls and other small 1A schools don't have the luxury of scheduling smaller weak schools...not as many to choose from. see your athletes still get what they deserve regardless of their record...if they are good enough, they will be seen. luckily ya'll have enough exposure playing powerhouse programs that your guys get seen....not because you are a powerhouse. anyway, i can argue, not pout, about this all day. good luck.

    • 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.
