I have a question about Dresden. I don't remember them being very good at all until recently. It seems like they were very bad for a long time. Did the economy change, drop in classifications, new school that attracted more kids? What changed it for them?

For quite a few years they played in the district with Milan, Trenton, etc.  The district was loaded and according to many the best in the state.  Dresden just didn't have the players or athletes to compete and some might even say the coaching.  Without a doubt the biggest reason Dresden has shown up in the last three years is because of coaching.  They added Keith Hodge to the staff as offensive coordinator and then his brother came on as a volunteer asst. handling the defense.  Keith is now the head coach and his brother is the defensive coordinator.  Two great young football coaches.  They have turned the program around and the kids have bought in to what they are trying to do.  They have won the last 3 years and they have not been loaded with talent but the kids have worked so hard especially in the summer.  Now throw in some talented young kids and the next 3 years look really promising.  I honestly believe it is the coaching that has turned the program around.  Now the job is keeping them!

Dresden's turn around relates to coaching 120%. They did have a tough district when playing with the likes of Milan and others. Personally I think the Lions might be a little down (5 or 6 wins) next year. They will have tons of talent though but it will be young talent. 2015 and 2016 look out cause they will be special. The Winn kid is pretty amazing and he has lots of help around him.

Dresden's district (or region at that time) included Milan, Huntingdon, Westview, Humboldt, Trention, USJ, and Gibson Co.  All but Gibson Co. was a serious test!!  The district was insane tough!!!

As the old timers would say "that's a pretty tough row to hoe"!!!! I don't care who you are.

Going into next season, UC are the State Champs and its theirs to lose next year.  That said, the Mustangs need to get there before talking smack.

No, they won't. You only lost 3 seniors last year from a state championship team. Union City should easily repeat. SP could possibly be a player in the east, but it doesn't matter because Union City will just be that dang good in 2014.

    • 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.
