I don' t know the present coach, however I did look at Coach Grider as a mentor, I have a tremendous amount of respect for him and the program he and his staff have built in South Pittsburg. A lot of people look at him as being arrogant, but I see a man that is confident!, and His staff and players have always reflected that. Too me he is a hall of fame Coach, he seemed to always set the standard in 1A football.

Here is some possum poetry, second page of our youth football camp agenda.

 

Now this is the law of the jungle...

As old and true as the sky;

And the Tiger that shall keep it may prosper,

But the Tiger that breaks it must die,

As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk,

The Law runneth forward and back...

For the strength of the DEN is the TIGER.

And the strength of the TIGER is the

                    DEN!

 

Coach Condra

The right person and deduction could continue to turn Whitwell around. Those kids work hard.

The only way any team can have real success is to have three things. One you mention,hard working kids, two is a supportive administration, and third is parents who support administration and coaching staff and let them do their job.

    • 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.
