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.

I agree with a lot of this post except one thing. Winning programs will build support for that program. That is what the schools mentioned above have done. I'm not saying winning the championship but being in contention year in and year out. I'm also not saying it's right but the last 4 or 5 years have built the support at Dresden to where it is, now. Can it be better? Absolutely. Can it be worse? Same answer. When Dresden was homecoming queens the only people in the stands were parents with kids on the team. It's different now and mainly it's because of the wins and losses have swapped for the better. I really could care less who is coaching the team as long as they get the most out of what they have on the team.

Dresser's return will help turn Q loose as a play-maker, which is what he is best at.

I agree that the people of Dresden should support the program win or lose but the fact is people support a winner no matter what the sport is.  As stated above those fans are bandwagon fans but they still pay to get in the games.  What people don't want to understand is that Dresden was in the toughest district in the state when they were in AA. The drop down to A helped them more than anything with winning games.  You take the teams of the past 3 or 4 years and they don't win in the old AA district.  I have supported the lions for over 35 years and yes it is more enjoyable when they are winning.  I look forward to the next few years because I believe Coach Rang is a good one.  How long will he stay I don't know but Hodge only stayed 2 so if he comes back next year he has tied him.

Lionsupport I agree with you about the old region. Having Milan westview Trenton Humboldt and I think union city and Huntingdon were all apart of thst region. Man you talked about a gauntlet. I think the team that went to state might have been the only team thst could have even been competitive in this region. Not saying the past 3 years haven't had good teams, but the drop to 1a helps a lot in the win column.

    • 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.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
