Why in the heck would he go to that dumpster fire when he's got: a championship caliber team, great facilities, great community/fan support at Rhea Co?

We are losing a lot of talent with this senior class. Pemberton has had back-to-back stellar seasons. He has a son in the 8th grade who is a decent ballplayer. It is simple marketing. If he is going to make a move, this is the time to do it. I have been afraid this might happen. I hope it is just a rumor but I could see it happening.

True we are losing a lot of talent out of this senior class, but its not exactly like the cupboard will be empty the next couple of years either. Losing the linemen will be the biggest hit, but we do have Bice, Dotson, Noel, Mason Stevenson, Dylan Smith, and so on coming back. I hope its just a rumor since Coach Pemberton has done so much for our program. I agree with Gov91 why in the world would any coach want to go that disaster at Powell.

I have enjoyed keeping up with Rhea County this season. I am a South Pitt fan, but have family on the Marion County team. I remember watching these teams play back in middle school for the district championship. I knew then that Rhea County had a class that had a chance to be special one day. Congrats on a fine season. Rhea hasn't had a team this dominate since the late Bill Horton was the coach.

    • 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.
