It's a terrible thing that happend to the victim.  Absolutely terrible and difficult to put into words how terrible the act was.  Those who committed the crime should face punishment to the furthest extent of the law.  With that said in the grand scheme of things, I feel like some comments here and elsewhere are pretty far off base.  For one, some are wondering why the coach wasn't supervising the players.  Are you folks incenuating that the coach should be with all his players 24/7 on this trip (which is impossible BTW)?  Have your kids ever played high school sports and traveled overnight?  By taking this stance, you are saying that all overnight trips for all high school sports teams should be done away with.  I think its ridiculous to fire the AD or coach. If a player would have showed up and shot 3 people would it be the AD's fault? The coaches fault??? If you are a boss and workers under you sexually assault another co-worker, should you be fired? I'd hope all of you casting stones and calling for heads to roll would love to hop in the unemployent line if something you did not do cost you AND your family their job/income. I assure you that 99.999 % of coaches want the ABSOLUTE best for their players, and I'm sure that the Ooltewah coach is the same way.  This is a terrible event.  But the accountability falls squarely on the shoulders of those who committed this haneous act and on those present at the time who stood idly by and didn't step up and do the right thing by stopping it.

I was hoping to be done with this topic as it turns my stomach but felt compelled to add 2 more cents.

 

 There is a systemic problem with this team and school and somebody should be accountable. All coaches and AD obvious choice and the list should grow from there. If the coach didn't think this crime warranted  pulling the team from the competition and begin uncovering the sordid details to aid law enforcement punish the guilty, then I suggest his judgment on everything is questionable. Ditto for AD and other school administrators . Major house cleaning in order and it should have already been well under way.

    • 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.
