Please let us know if anyone is interested in the JV tourney as the civic club interested needs to make arrangements. The club meets on September 2 and would like to make a final decision at that time. Please post on this site or send message to rwoodward@abcwc.net Thanks. :confused:

All tournaments and games should be banned during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays... :)

Maybe, that way of thinking is the reason Smith Co. girls haven't been competitive in the district, the last 4 or 5 years. :) A tourney counts as one game. :( Cookeville, Sparta,LA,Jackson Co. and I believe RBS, have holiday tourneys. :) Some of these tourneys are older that you are. :) Please be positive about an aspect of sports that you obviously have no interest! :D:D:D

Why should all tournaments be banned from Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays? This is the perfect time to play because the kids are out of school and can place their total focus on basketball. The only type of person that would make that kind of statement is someone that is lazy and wants to take the holiday season off without games and practice but does not want to take the heat of the entire community jumping all over them!!!!

You seem to think you know a lot about me...my question is... whatever happened to "over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go"?...I think they play enough games, have enough practices...that they could give those kids a break during the holidays... :rolleyes:

ALL of the good teams play in Thanksgiving AND Christmas tournaments. I have found that it is a good time for family to have together. Yes, sometimes it cuts into some family get-togethers, but colleges have been playing on Thanksgivng DAY and Christmas DAY for years. Playing in holiday tournaments and travelling long distances are not what some teams want. Hey, some high schools play simply for fun and some play to make it to the state. You cannot get better by playing the same teams over and over. Holiday tournaments give teams a chance to play the best teams from neighboring states and from other places in Tennessee. I think they are GREAT and I think they are fun. My kids look forward to the holiday tournaments. But to each his own.

We are sorry to post that there will not be a JV Christmas tourney at Cornersville this year. We would like to thank those of you who responded. It seems that the lack of respondees and the lack of interest by members of the civic club combined ruled this one out. Hope you are able to find somewhere else to play as this seems to be extremely important to the success of some programs. :o

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
