Heritage starters jumped out to a 14 7 lead tonight and then went with wholesale substitutions. LC took advantage of the loss of continuity and took the lead by the half. Heritage starters were never on the floor together for more than 2 minutes at a time for the rest of the game. LC primarily used 7 players. Heritage never got back together to play defense.

I saw several of the Heritage girls play together in spring AAU. Then saw them a few times over the summer where they seemed so in sync. I was worried they were getting ready to take over the district. What happened? I have only seen them a couple times this season but they are completely different from the team we saw this summer, especially in the post. Looks like they need to get their chemistry back. They don't really seem like they will be able to challenge Farragut, Bearden or Maryville from what I saw this week.

Coach Howard does not promote unity with his temper screaming at every player that makes a

mistake and jerking players out of the game as punishment. AAU coaches would be disciplined for this type conduct. Girls can't gain momentum and will get best by lesser teams with better coaches. My AP vote won't place Heritage very high,but not because of the talent.

I have been watching this district play for a lot of years. Coach Howard is what he is. You don't have to agree with his style or methods, but players can't use that as the excuse. When you play there, that's part of the territory. No surprises. He actually seems calmer than he did 5-8 years ago. Then again, it's not my kid he's yelling at so it is all perspective.

Very surprised that Heritage was beaten by Bearden and LC, Howard better get his act together and start coaching instead of pitching fits and pulling players off court because of one mistake, have watched him do that for years and have seen very tallented players quit by their senior year.

And you wonder why people complain that some of the better younger tallent in the county goes elsewhere to play. You know what you are getting into when you go there. You either love him or hate him. Some respond some dont. If you ever get the right mix who respond, you can go places. If you have a mix that do not...well the ship sinks, chemistry suffers and everyone starts turning. I think Heritage will be okay. These girls have played a lot of ball and will figure it out despite of coaching. And like I said before...they chose to lie in this bed. I will continue to support Heritage for the girls sake though.

Like some have alluded...cant keep starters out with no depth. You have a gift in Knight..use her. Pryor is also a weapon. They should be dominating inside.

    • 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.
    • 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.
