Well better get to know him, he is a sophmore at Riverside, last years 1A State Runner Ups, last year as a freshman he shut down Summertown and got veat in extras.. They say he throws 90 and can hit very good too. His brother was on the USJ team that won state in like 05 that got stripped of their title bc they had an illegal player coming from another county to play, which was the older Gant kid. He now plays at the University of Tennessee.

If "they" say he throws 90mph, then he is probably 84-85.

 

 

We played them, you're right he throws 80-85, he is really good at running the ball in on the hands with the 2 seam. He lkes to finish hitters off with that for 3rd strike. He is a good hitter.

 

The gun at Pringles Park had him at 88 several times. Velocity aside, he is a smart pitcher that knows the game and he knows how to make a batter get himself out. :flower:

I'm confused. There's nobody named Gant on UTs roster.

 

He is sitting this year out due to having tommy john surgery in his elbow.

 

The younger brother Stephen is pretty much leading the Riverside team this year on the mound and in the batters box. Being just a sophomore he is going to be a phenomenal by the time his senior year comes around.

I agree and with you. A coach could take a really good 16u team from this district and win a lot of games this summer.

 

S'town has Chard & Gray

Wayne County has Rice, Ray, Butler & Hayden Skelton

Loretto has Shadix & Gowen

Well, Kyle Smith and Josh Smith are two good players from Wilson County. If you need a super sophomore catcher, then call Drew Erie from Friendship. He didn't have a passed ball the entire appearance of state tournament. Has good bat too, if allowed opportunity to bat. Tim Corbin from Vandy awarded him Best Defensive player at 2009 prospect camp last summer.

Does Erie have a summer team he is playing for?

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
