Not against the top 10 for now as I'm sure they all won their games.But did notice that Union city received votes in taking a beating against Obion Central in a game that could have been a lot worse while Lake Co loses to a school by a 12-7 sore.I'm sur ehad Lake Co won that game 12-7 would have been in ther top 10.What I'm saying is the voters need to know more about voting.If a team is a preseason top 10 team like number 7 and lose to a bigger school by just 5 points in a game they should have won,may could see dropping 3 or 4 spots.Huntingdon is ranked # 4 and are a very good team.They are # 4 this week and deseveredly so.If they were to lose to someone liek McKenzie,maybe could see a drop of 1 or 2 spots at the most.Now if they lost to a smaller unranked opponent ,could see a drop of 5 or 6 spots.Like most say.the polls don't mean anything but I can promise that the kids have something to feel good about when they are acknwledged as one of the top teams.Seems like the voters dodn't have a clue.

If they didn't get anyone else right I think they nailed #1.

Do they ever mean anything in high school ball?

 

Sure they do. Bulletin Board Material! Coalfield and Lake County have the most to make of it this week. SP has a bounty on them. They also serve to potentially inflate the heads of teams.

 

Edit: As far as any direct meaning, no, not since the playoffs. They may effect seeding of wildcard teams.

Coalfield may deserve to be in the top 10.I'm surprised that Jo Byrns isn't at #2.I didn't think Wayne Co looked as good as Huntingdon but was a scrimmage basically so we'll see.Not sure if Lake Co is a top 10 team.All I'm saying is if Lake Co was considered to be a preseason #6 or 7 team as was Union City,what was more impressive.Lake Co losing to what is considered to be one of the stronger and a 2A team in Kentucky or losing to Obion central like Union City did in a game that could have been much worse.At least know what's going on for those that are voting.Lake Co is playing Fulton Co this week.If I'm voting ,wouldn't judge them or rank them higher on this game.Sometimes a team should be ranked or at least not drop more than a spot or two if it's a loss to a very good team,especially if it's a close game.That's more impressive than beating a Fulton Co or Fulton City 50-0.But to drop Lake Co after losing 12-7 to Murray Ky who went 12-1 last year.Again..learn a little about football and voting.If South Pittsburg were to play Alcoa and lose 17-7 would the voters drop them from the rankings completely.I know Murray may not be an Alcoa but lets say if they lost to Jo Byrns,PC or Wayne Co.At most maybe drop a coupel spots or 3 at the most.Not 15 spots and not even receive any votes.Not saying Lake co is a top 10.The teams listed are probably all deserving.Just can't see UC receiving votes in a blowout and Lake Co drop off the earth.Writers need to learn a little at least.

    • 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?
