Region 6 5A: 2015 (9AAA & 12 AAA)

I just wanted to share another good story of a student athlete.

 

Gallatin's Brett Neelly won his third consecutive state championship in track & field in discus and placed second for the second consecutive year in shot put. Brett is a 6'7" 255lbs Kansas State Signee who played several seasons of football and basketball at Gallatin and recently graduated as the Salutatorian of the senior class. This year, he broke a 28-year-old state record in the discus with a throw a 189-1 which he unofficially broke two more times. He finished top 10 in the nation in discus and top 15 in the nation and shot put.

 

His major competition this year was his brother, 6'5" 230lbs Gallatin Junior Adam Neelly, who will return his senior year as a top contender for state in both discus and shot put and is at the top of his class academically as well.

 

Congratulations to both for total dominance in the classroom and athletically.

Any news on the assistant coaching search?

Anthony King has been promoted to DC. Sounds like a great choice and players seem excited. I hear there is two more positions available as the QB Coach Haberman and wife are moving to Mississippi. Coach Wilson is just going to be head baseball only.

This is great news!! I was talking to some former players and they all thought that this would be a great idea. I do too!! His special teams have been very successful as well as innovative. I look forward to seeing his version of the defense. Currently there are two teaching positions open. PE and a special education position. They have to be certified on one of these and PE should be easy to fill.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
