Football 54.....SP enrollment is 249. MC is 523 and about a bakers dozen from being in 3A. Meanwhile there are only 14 public schools smaller than SP that play football. So, if the TSSAA really lost their minds and went to 8A, SP would still be 1A. MC is more than double the size of SP.

Yes that's crazy.

. Why is it you feel like marion is such a bigger school than SP. maybe 150 or so more students in the school than SP

Apparently you aren't up on your TSSAA football history.  Until 1993, Tennessee only had 3 classifications.  A, AA, AAA.  From 1983 through 1992 Jasper was AA.  There was a good size difference in a AA team and a smaller A school like SP or Lake County.  KC used to field some teams with a large string of players. Jasper beat Brentwood Academy in the 1992 AA state title games which is one of the all time title game classics.  Yet many of the games in those two 8-game streaks weren't won by much.  In the 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, and 5a system, Jasper was 3a and won a couple of titles in that system.  It wasn't until recently that you guys dropped to 2a and even then you are one of the large 2a schools.  That is what I meant by that.  SP currently has around 245 students and is one of the smaller 1a schools.

    • 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.
    • 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.
