My son is only a freshman. Does anyone know where i can buy one of these "Super Sophomore" thingy's? They really sound cool! Nick Shrum (not my son....I don't think) at Grundy County is hitting around .350 and is 3-1 as the #2 starter for the Yellow Jackets.

 

Sounds like you know his mom though. If you hurry you can get a buy one get half off your second purchase. They are very cool I have one.

 

Yo GRAD, Wayne Co and Perry Co both have some super sophomores in my opinion. . .

 

WC- Ray and Rice (Pitching)

PC- Richardson (Pitching) and Grimes (Hitting)

OK, about all of these BA's and pitching numbers. Are they from Sophmores playing in JV games or are they playing on varsity as a Sophmore and seeing varsity pitching? OR Are they a mix of playing JV games and a few varsity games? If it's a mix then the numbers don't tell anything. They could bat 90% JV and 10% Varsity.

 

If these numbers are from JV games then they are not as impressive as they would be if they were playing all year on varsity as a sophmore. If in fact they are "playing up" and starting on varsity, and have been there all year, then they are VERY impressive.

 

If these are numbers from sophmores playing 100% JV, then quit bragging! Any sophmore worth their salt has these numbers seeing JV pitching. We could name 200+ players across the state with these same numbers!

:flower: I think most everyone takes it for granted that we're talking about SO's playing exclusively varsity. :ph34r: Neither of the Anderson County players who've been mentioned play JV.

They both (WC & PC) have a few other Sophs worth talking about. WC has Clint Butler (lead off & RF) & Hayden Skelton plays a very good CF & PC has Blake Qualls as well. Loretto has Jake Shadix & Jordan Gowan. If a coach wanted a good 16U team there you go. Then through in Drew Luker & Blaze Daniel from C'wood. You talking about a good group of sophmores (all from district 12A), I would love to see them all play together.

I can assure you that the two Powell players mentioned on here both play varsity only. They were all-district last year as freshman playing varsity. I would hope that folks are only throwing in names of kids playing varsity, and that they are not mixing in JV stats.

McKinley Berry of Elizabethton deserves some statewide recognition. tonight he pitched another great game, this time against DB. Unfortunately Elizabethton is underachieving this year but he has been a bright spot. tonight he stayed in the 80's for 6 innings according to DB's clock. With some proper coaching i think 90 is definitly possible either this summer or by junior year.

    • 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.
