I remember that 1980 game during the regular season at SP. We then played them again in 85 or 86 during the playoffs. What happened to Troy Claiborne? I believe he was early 2000s? Also didn't you guys have a RB named George or something that was really good?

Troy is working and Ryan is doing the same... Ryan went to school to play maybe one year I think but not really sure... Troy was a good RB but an outstanding SS, one of the best i've seen to play that position in high school. Ryan is one the best RB's i've ever watched in high school, could score from anywhere on the field, could be a physical runner as well but once in the open he was gone... He was a pretty good LB as well

This is a link that shows Gville's records back to 1980.

 

In 82, Gville went 11-1, losing to Marion in the playoffs.

In 83, Gville went 11-3, runner-up to ECS

In 84, State Champs

In 85, 5-4

In 86 11-1, losing to SP in the second or third round

in 87, 10-3, losing to Greenback in the semi's

In 88, 11-3, losing to DCA in the semi's.

 

Considering there was on 3 classes, and only the top 2 in the district made the playoffs. This was a heck of a run.

I know OldTiger55 was a part of these teams, not sure about TigerTradition, though.

 

Marion finished runner up in 82 and 84...........did marion move up in 84 or did gordy beat mc in the finals

I work with Troy, so he's still around. I see Ryan George regular too. Both have kids. Both may be good RB's. Hopefully they go to Gordonsville.lol

FWIW, Terry Manning, who was a great RB for Gville in the 80's, is Troy Claiborne's uncle. Terry's son is the RB at Smith County.

    • 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.
