Anyone know who is there. I know that Livingston Academy is there but I was wondering who else. Also, who is looking strong and competive.

 

The teams I remember seeing there: Lenoir City, Gallatin, Shelbyville Central (of course), Wilson Central, Cascade (single A from the area), Walker Valley, Gordon Lee, Grainger, Clarkrange. . that's all I can remember at the moment.

I heard Grainger actually went 11-0. Beat Cleveland, Moore County, and Community in addition to Livingston Academy, Upperman, Gallatin, Shelbyville, Lenoir City, Gordon Lee, GA, Clarkrange, and Cascade. As you mentioned above Gordon Lee was close as I heard that Grainger shot poorly in this game. Heard they beat Livingston by 6 or 7 and none of their other games were even close.

This week's camp has Gallatin, Knoxville Catholic, Mt. Juliet, Cookeville, Wilson Central, Watertown, Cascade, Arab, Lincoln Co., Frank Hughes, Station Camp & Hendersonville.

 

Its pretty sad how much the camp has declined since Insell and Burkey left. Every week used to be loaded with some of the best teams in Tennessee. Any given night on the main court you would get to see Mt. Juliet vs. Oak Ridge, Wilson Central vs. Science Hill, Riverdale vs. Hillsboro. Now you get to watch Knoxville Catholic vs. Arab. There are still good teams at camp, however the competition level used to be amazing.

You can evaluate your own players at any camp. That's what they're for, and to give players the opportunities they may not have received yet in previous seasons. They're not about entertainment for the fans though there is interest always in how teams do.

Very sound insight into summer basketball camps I am impresses ....However what happens when your a powerhouse program and you go to a camp and can't get any sound competition to work on weaknesses and see how the players respond to struggles? A team like Mt. Juliet can play terrible and beat most teams..however I always thought camp games in hot gyms were for the fans and entertainment, so what do I know.

Sometimes the obvious needs to be pointed out. If you think it's "sad" the camp isn't up to your expectations, simply go elsewhere or try to find out teams expected to be there before committing.

Whoa! Easy there! Didn't know you had bought stock in the Shelbyville Girls Team Camp. I was just commenting on how great the camp used to be back in the day because it was just stacked with Powerhouse programs, now a lot of that has diffused to other camps and its a shame. However, I apologize for going to a Message Board and expressing an opinion that differs from a SCHS Stock Holder..the team camp is awesome! Its as good as it has always been..maybe even better..the level of Talent there this week is Top Notch!

 

And just a side note I think a lot of teams seem to feel this way and are going other places....just saying

    • 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.
