Who do you think the best punter in the state is?

 

Hands down i would say David DeFatta from franklin, I practice with him everday, ive seen him on his good days when he is awesome, which he showed against Blackman. He doesnt have too many bad days, but when he does he still is punting around 30yards each punt, and yet he is only a sophomore. Everyone ssaid he would have big shoes to fill punting after colby smith did last year and i think he is just as good if not better in games.

honorable mention goes to shane normandin at dyersburg high....

 

thus far this season, as a junior, he has kicked almost all of his kick-offs out the back of the end zone....

 

he is averageing about 43 yards per punt, not too bad, but his hang time has been excellent for a junior....at about 4.3....

 

he may not be the best.....but i would dare say he is in the top 5...

 

keep the good work up shane.....

i think junior, andrew bradley from page, has one of the strongest legs in 3A...if he can just get over the pressure of the D-line in the games. he should try to bump his 37yd average up to about 42 or 43, then he'l be in the top spot; especially after that 52 yarder he boomed out of the endzone against centennial. warming up before games, he spirals them, turning over one after the other 45 to 50 yards, but when he gets on the field they drop to 34 and 35 yards

Cody Bliss is by far the best kicker/punter in the state...but he doesn't count ;) he's in a league of his own...Franklin's punter/kicker David Deffata is a young Sophomore who has a great future ahead of him with a nice work ethic and god given talent...

 

I agree totally. DeFatta has a bright future ahead of him if he can keep up with what he is doing. By the time he is a senior he will have schools looking at him from many of the area schools around tennessee and maybe even schools not around the state.

    • 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.
