Speed never goes into a slump

I remember a certin coach making this statment only to watch his team (with 2 of the fastest players in the country) go something like 2/12 in the WCWS...... /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />

 

Watley & Lowe didnt burn the bases up in the Gold Medal game in Beijing now did they? /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

Speed can kill in the outfield. Last year, one of our players hit a pretty good fly ball to the outfield. It originally looked like it was going over Hammond's head. Whitney Hammond ran it down and made a spectacular play. This hit would have been a basehit on anyone else. You can't teach speed!

Keep your eyes on Whitney Hammond and Tory Lewis of GPS. Both are committed to the University of Tennessee, and can fly.

 

I did not see another team last year that had the speed like these two. Didn't you guys also have a senior last year with great speed?

Kamri Chester was the senior last year. She's now a freshmen at the University of Memphis, and did very well during the fall season. GPS also has Megan Givens who is a senior this year, and has run 2.75 from home to first.

 

Has Megan signed with anyone?

Megan Givens is going to Tennessee.

 

Think GPS has a wealth of speed with their returning players? They have a freshman slapper that has run 2.9, 2.8, 2.8 over the last few months at a College Showcase, Tennessee Camp, and Auburn Camp. Her name is Madison Boyd.

 

There is a player from Cleveland High School that stole a bunch of bases last year if I remember correctly. What was her name?

    • 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.
