really stud? really? i "play" college soccer how? last time i checked i was on a college team. my club team my senior year was 2nd in the state and played in some quality tournaments. there was a reason your past post got deleted. you take shots without backing up your smacktalk. i can take criticism but not without reasoning.....

 

 

as for me bashing high school...... don't misread contructive criticism for "bashing". i give credit. plus i post because i enjoy the high school game. i love soccer period and everything about it.

 

 

There is a reason NAIA plays with the Div ! schools....they have less regulations, use older experienced players from overseas and can get away with more in money, grades and recruiting. I am not bashing you UCsoccer, because anyone that plays at that level has to be a real class player so Congrats!!! But remember this High School is for learning with players from all levels and first and even second touch defines those that go on and those that don't.

Hey Ucsoccer are you boone? cause im really really good friends with all the 88 Stars team and I believe that they got second in state the year your talking about. if so man, let me know. my best friend is Ben Lawson so im sure you would know him

 

I won't tell you WHO UCsoccer is.......but he isn't Boone. He played 1 year older than the Stars 88 team. By the way, that was a great team with a ton of talent- Boone was one of my favorite kids to watch play- I watched him since he was 8 years old. Also, that Stars team had a great coach- which is always nice! /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Finally.....someone who has it exactly right!!! On the pitch- you nailed it. Some of those teams have 28 year old players that come from other countries, where their club teams are awesome. So it is almost an unfair advantage- but along with that, these teams fully understand possession and movement. This is why I enjoy watching them. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

actually i was two year (i think) ahead of that stars team. i was one year under your brother (your brother was a grad in 03 right?). no point in trying to figure out who i am..... you won't know me. i am just a soccer nut who did what he could with what he had. i am really of no importance and was not an overtalked about player. actually quite the opposite and even to this day (as stud has proved) still being dissed and told "you're just a bust and you'll never do it." it's ok because it's been those people (and trust me their were alot) that has helped to fuel my passion to play at a higher level.

 

Pitch, thank you for the complement. as for the first touch being what seperates, i think you hit that nail right on the head. i never thought about it that was but it is sooooooooooooo true.

Is UCSoccer tinman (I think that was his name)

 

Red headed kid, used to play for the Crush when that club first got going???? If so was a hellever player even as a small kid, I remember coaching against him in 2001/02 and he was by far the best u-13 I had seen. Always worked his butt off and gave 100% every time I seen him play and if he was playing he was worth watching.

No...Tinman is still Tinman. UCSoccer is another kid. Tinman is red-headed kid and is playing in the USL right now. He was on that Crush team when they just started. I know this...because I was the coach of that Crush team. Tinman is playing for the Baton Rogue Capitals....they will be playing the Nashville Metros (I think that is the Nashville team name) tonight at 8:00 P.M. (Easter time) I will be at that game! By the way, Tinman will still be able to play his last season at The University of the Cumberlands this coming season. They should be a good team to watch!

    • 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.
