Other than the Clarksville NE game you are spot on about this LA team. I really think that first game was the closest this team has come to playing to their potential. Don't get me wrong, they are very good and have had their moments, but like you said, inconsistent. JMO. I also think they will get it together and when they do.......The skies the limit for this crew!

 

Sorry to get off topic!

 

 

 

Yes. I forgot about the Clarksville NE game. They played extremely well that night. Played like a potential championship team. But ever since, its been good quarter bad quarter and so on. But I completly agree that they will get it together really soon and I dont think there will be anyone on our schedule that will be able to slow them down. Cant wait for that. Hopefully they'll get it together and not be to tired Saturday at Ensworth. Heard they got some good players out that way. Hopefully it'll be a good one. After this Saturday the Clarksville game @ Cookeville the 18th is possibly the only challenge that lay ahead of our team. With the exception of the Florida tournament and maybe the upperman rivalry.

I've watched basketball for about 25 years and I have found that inconsistency is part of the package especially with teenage kids. No team is going to play well every night. It just doesn't happen. Maybe in Livingston's case they lose a little focus once they get the big leads. Kids will try to do things they wouldn't do if the game was close. Just a thought. I do know playing "up to your potential" every night just isn't possible no matter how good or bad the team might be.

Do you have a theory as to why LA has had an explosive 3rd quarter in almost all of their games this year?

There are many of us who have been around the game 25, 30+ years. While I agree that inconsistency is part of the package as you put it, there is no way that this team has come close to playing "up to their potential" except once and that was the HOF game with North East. Dunn (which by the way I love this kid) is playing with "senioritis" or something, but he's not playing to what I have been accustomed to seeing the previous three seasons. Ramsey should be tearing people up but hasn't. Peterman has stepped up his game, I'll give him that. West has been a "no show" much of the early season offensively and has not been the defensive machine he was a year ago. T.J. Smith is lighting up the open jumpers but seems skiddish to take to the hole, and you can't find him on the defensive end. Poston, Jackson, both Meltons, Key (freshman), Wilson are doing well off the the bench. But this team is a far cry from where it could or even should be. Not trying to be a downer here but I see much more than whats lying on the surface at this point in the season. We are no where near tournament ready. This team can play "up to their potential" more than they are doing.

    • 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.
