What will it take to have a sustainable and successful program?

A.) quality coaches

B.) community support,and

C.) fiscal support

If you want an effective and successful program, support your lions.

My personal opinion is Dresden has 1.75 % of these three things.

Looks like they are working on #1 if they can land a good assistant or two along with coach Rang.

#2 The community is behind the Lions with support, verbally. When I talk about the support needed I'm talking about have a stadium clean up day and see who shows up. That's the support Dresden is lacking. The admin wont even have the school janitors get near the field house or weight room so it's up to the parents or players. Now I do think the players have a responsibility to respect the facilities enough to keep it clean.

#3 You have a core group of people who give the majority fiscal support to the Lion's. It's pretty sad when only 15-20% (probably a high estimate) of the players family are members of the QB club. It only cost 25 dollars to join so really, there are no excuses not to be a member.

I think the Lion's will have three really good years ahead of them if they will do the extra work needed to elite. Talent will make them good, work could make them great!!!! Go Lion's

Well, then my question is how do we fix this? How can we have more support for the program? Do they need to have an "open house" meet/greet type of event? Maybe people are still a little jaded..? Idk and nor do pretend to have the answers. The skill players are there. Coaching is there and they working toward improving/adding more quality coaches.

Honestly, if I had that answer I would be a motivational speaker for a living. I could increase productivity at work, harmony in Washington and create world peace. I think it starts with the admin and it really doesn't take long to realize Dresden is a girls basketball school. If it wasn't for the creation of the QB club and the passing away of a former governor the press-box would've caved in by now, we would be playing on dirt only, using port-a-pots and sitting on 5 gallon buckets. I'm still jaded myself but I'm still going to support what we have. I agree that most likely all schools deal with 75% of the people verbally supporting programs but they always seem to be busy when it's time to get dirty or donate time and money. I want to see what the Lion's look like in 5 years. I hope we are still competitive but I'm afraid we will revert to the ofer years. i'm willing to bet my house we will have a new coach in 5 years. But that is just my opinion and we know what opinions are like.

Yeah, the next few years should be interesting. Good talented young men. As for all of the other, I'm sure that I was preaching to the church. I just wondered if we could get the type of support you see in surrounding areas; UC, Milan, HC, etc. I know that the common theme with the schools that are listed include the size of their towns but, still. We should be able to mimic that type of support.

One thing these schools have in common and that is all 3 have won championships or have been there several times. If everyone would stop worrying about who the coach is and support the young men that are playing and donate time money support etc. At the ballgames everyone is more worried about desperate housewives and what everybody else is doing. Come to the games win or lose that is support. When people come just because Dresden wins that's bandwagon.

    • 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.
