Split, 5-0 and 12-2.

 

This was a good group, despite several of the top teams around Chattanooga having a lot of non-seniors in their line-ups. A couple I thought would be on it may not have been available for whatever reason.

Yeah, Burgess, others, did well. I won't blame anyone for subbing difficulties, even over 2 games there are 18 players on the roster. There were even more who would have been good choices, Baird from GPS wasn't in it, and there are girls from Red Bank, East Ridge, Bradley, Chattanooga Christian, probably others, who've signed to play in college. One suggestion I'd have, split the groups into four teams with about 12 on each. Have the A/AA team play the NGa smaller schools, and the AAA/DII team play the larger NGa schools. Winners of each meet 30 minutes later, losers meet too. Play the games side by side so fans can watch some of both games if they want, or move the winners' game to the stadium. Only problem might be lack of pitching, in some years there may not be a lot of senior pitchers. There aren't a lot of Class AAA schools in SE Tennessee any more with enrollment drops, only Ooltewah, Soddy-Daisy, McMinn, Bradley, Rhea, Walker Valley, Cleveland. Another possibility, have an all-area team (Bradley, Marion, Meigs, Sequatchie etc schools) and a city team, that would increase the number of schools and probably ensure at least 2 quality senior pitchers would be available on each. There shouldn't be any problem finding players in North Georgia as they go all the way to Cedartown and Cartersville for the rosters, it seems.

    • 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.
