As some may have already seen, we had to forfeit our win over Scott County. This is our first year with an exchange student on our roster, and, unknown to the coaches, the proper paperwork was not finalized when we played him in the Scott County game. While he only played a few minutes, the rule still applied. We self reported the morning after the Scott County game, and the state handed out their ruling this afternoon.

 

While it was hard to take, I believe in James 1:2. We have been through a lot this season (those who are close to us know what has happened as far as the severe injuries) but I have faith that God has a plan through all of this.

 

Not meaning to preach, but I also wanted my boys to see that this is so much more than just winning and losing, and as coaches, we have a responsibility to show our young men and women that even though sometimes it is VERY hard to do the right thing, it still needs to be done, regardless of the ramifications.

 

 

Go ahead and preach brother! It is NEVER wrong to do the RIGHT thing! What is more important...winning a game or teaching young men valuable life lessons (I have to remind myself this principle all the time). Winning is fun, but learning self discipline and hard work...these are lessons that last a life time.

 

Good luck the rest of the season coach!

Lets see some results from the Cleveland Tournament on here there have been a lot of great games. Somebody already posted the Ravenwood game but Cleveland just played Alcoa to a 1-1 tie. We have a lot of younger guys but we're improving every game. What else is going on? I know there are some talented teams like Collierville, Ravenwood, Alcoa, Baylor, Notre Dame, Cookeville, Mcminn Co., Ooltewah and of course Cleveland in the tournament. But who else, and what are some results/observations/surprises?

Ravenwood 4

Cookville 0

 

Good effort by both squads. Ravenwood had the better of things throughout. Good to see Ravenwoods coach sit most of his starters to get the whole team involved. This should help greatly down the road. I don't think I saw their St. Mary's bound signee - Brandon Saunders log a single minute.

Ravenwood 6

Alcoa 0

While I know this is hard for Alcoa to take, it is understandable. Most A/AA teams have a hard time playing in tournaments simply because we don't have the depth to play 4 games in 3 days. Ravenwood is a VERY good team, as is Alcoa, but I would imagine Ravenwood can dip a little bit deeper than Alcoa can.

 

I give props to Alcoa for playing in the tournament. I think they were the only A/AA team there. Coach Gorman will have them back and rockin in no time. I just hope they came out of these games with few or no injuries.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
