I wasn't thinking about the new Regions. You're right, there will be one or two tough games in your region. Those 3 games OOC will be key over the next 2 yrs. Actually just 2 after you schedule Cloudland.

 

I can't see this new plan lasting more than 2 years either. Too much travel for a lot of schools, both east and west.

  Going to be different next year and Ilike it, maybe the varsity will get more playing time. Ithink its hard to battle 4 quarters when you're not used to it.

Pride, I'd like to see us play Elizabethton and that may well happen...Got to asK yourself the question tho, how many upper division teams around here want to take a chance of losing to Hampton? Not many!

That makes us drive 3hrs plus for the competition you mention...Cause they sure won't drive here!

Then you have no gate =no good equipment =Crappy gear =Poor Mentality

I know exactly what you're talking about with teams that don't want to lose to a 2A team. We run into the same thing here larger schools that are close to you don't want to take the chance on a game with you. If they beat you, they're supposed to. If they lose, the faithful turn on you and hammer you on losing to a 2A school. It's a risk that not many coaches want to take. Could you imagine the fallout if you guys beat Betsy?

I'm not going on the other thread with this, but I wanted to clear up the perception on why we used the mobile locker room at HHS. The main players are in this room from HHS, so I'll let it ride in here.

 

It's not b/c we're "too good" to use your visitors locker room. We did our pregame in your locker room. It was spacious and more than adequate. We use that same portable locker room at our home games. So if using it means we are too good to use your locker room, it also means we are too good to use our own locker room. The trailer allows us to get it close to the field and not waste 5 mins walking to the locker room. We can get started immediately on adjustments, equipment, etc.

 

You guys have a nice visitors locker room. I've been in a few that were sketchy at best, but your locker room wasn't one of them. I know it hit a nerve on pujo and a few others. What you just read is exactly why we used (and use) the portable locker room. Nothing more, nothing less.

Eliz knows that we stand a very good chance of beating them next year...They probably wouldn't consider it, but the new facilities means they need BIG gates....As for the other stuff, oh well, it's all good!

Good to hear from ya

  Glad you cleared that up Pride, I feel a little better about the situation now.

The "perception" is terrible with that thing. The intent and purpose is good. The way it comes off is bad and unless the truth is told, people feel the way you guys did on the other thread about it. There's a ton of Hampton folks that feel the same way, but will never read the truth behind it, b/c they're not on the T.

 

I can promise you this, there's a TON more space in your visitors locker room than there is in that trailer. We're lucky to have a parent willing to let us use it.

      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.
