The lack of speed in the entire district was on full display in the West beat down of Campbell County.  The OR kids that have a chance to be fast need to run track this winter and spring that way they get weights (getting faster specific) and a lot of competition and fast running.

Brandon Bonds huge improvement is a great example of what the winter and spring can do.

Hey Sweet Science you hit the nail on the head with Fadnek being slow but I know Logan and several other Cats have already started working with a speed and agilities coach and weight training coach already. Getting a head start I guess.

I think the problem with the speed and agility coaching is the lack of competition.  The sure way to get faster is to work and race to get faster.  The competition component is missing from almost all private coaching situations.  Racing fast people is like running from the lion, get faster or get eaten.

Soxfan you are correct but it also takes proper mechanics to run faster as well. When your legs and arms aren't moving as they should that's when the speed and agilities coach helps tremendously. No different than proper footwork for a QB in his drop backs

Wow, yes!  That's what they do at track practice. Proper mechanics on each step can bring a 4.8 guy down to 4.6 or 4.5something.

    • 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.
