Union City basketball team I am not making any excuses about them losing the game. I think we were out coached. When Stockdale picked up his 3rd foul and the coach left him in the game to get his 4th one before half time was dumb. The men on our own radio station were going crazy about it. Even they were saying that Stockdale was the leader of the team. these guys called the games all 4 years so they would know, everyone that followed the team would tell you the same thing. It is what it is the season is over and the seniors had a great 4 years.

Only obvious leader on the team was Donte Simpson.  He gave his all, lead by example and effort.  Jogged on and off the court.  Great attitude.  A great role model to the younger players on the team and in the stands.  Proud of the entire team and coaching staff.  Hard to reach the title game without great players and great coaches.  Called "team effort"

you are wrong.  Kids transfer to OC, kids transfer to UC.  Every kid on the basketball team are all original UC students (elementary, middle and high school) except for the Stewart kid who was an out of state transfer.  There are plenty of athletes at OCHS, they just need the right coaches to fulfill their potential.

Shawn Johnson. NO not so far

No offence, but you're hurting your son moreso than helping him by blasting the coaches and everyone else. College coaches don't want to put up with all of the extra BS.... They don't have to. If I'm a college coach and I see how you act as a parent or relative to the said player, that player is coming with a lot of drama and will be marked off the list.

I have to be honest here. 1 foul or 6 fouls, it would not have mattered. Our game plan was to make them run the offense through him.. We knew he was their best post player but we had an advantage with our l6-6, 6-6, 6-4, and 6-7 post players. We knew if he scored it would be on put backs or fastbreak points. Without a true point guard, which UC did not have,, scoring against our defense was almost impossible for Stockdale.

Galilee your wrong!..The only 2 points he had was on a post move..It wasnt a stick back..He missed a couple of open looks that he usually makes..Nobody for UC shot the ball well.

    • 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.
