Metro football is at an all time low. The combined wins and losses for all teams except for top two is 14-36. And the 14 wins are not against another team with a winning record. PC is 5-0 with only one win against a good program. CR is 3-2 with no wins against a good team. Very Sad.

Is it coaching? Or are the players being plundered by the privates, Williamson, and Rutherford?

What happened to Hillsboro program?

Hillsboro's football program is struggling badly. I hope that they can get back to the relevant program they've been in the past.  They have new sports facilities, a new school, and new coaching leadership. Hopefully the coach can use that -  to rebuild the football program!

I seriously think it’s showing up that metro closed the weight rooms and kids couldn’t really lift. Even in the spring they couldn’t lift.

Good points.  Abbreviated short season for Metro High School / JV teams last year didn't help player development.  The Metro Middle Schools had no athletics last year which puts today's freshmen way behind.  Kids and Coaches can't be blamed for the admin/gov. mandates.

Always been about teams with best players will win most. Coaching can have impact but I have seen great players really make a coach look good. When talent is equal coaching will make a difference.

I can agree in part with what you said Buddy.  However Hillsboro cannot fall under your scenario this year.  They've historically had great players, but are 0-5, soon to be 0-6.   Sad, considering all the new upgrades to the school/facility. 

 

Sure, great players can make a coach look good, but if a coach can't line them up and get them to know their responsibility and assignment, and get them to play as a team, then they ain't going far.   Which why most metro teams have historically struggled in the playoffs (with exceptions), because like you say "when talent is equal, then coaching matters".  Cheers to week 6!

most times this is the answer but not always

I thought Cane Ridge looked good in the first quarter last night but then they didn’t.  #5 and #11 can play. 
 

Under things I’ve never seen before. CR player, might have been #5, was in the open running a kick back. Another CR player, 40 yards from the runner, started throwing punches before the runner crossed the goal line.  TD called back…

Lack of discipline. Pretty common in Metro teams.

The biggest difference I have seen with the Metro teams this year is the sheer lack of size. Those 15 months they were not allowed to lift weights is killing them. Cane Ridge still has athletes, but are very much smaller.

I felt like the overall team discipline reacted well. Fellow players were immediately on the fighting player and he was sent straight to the locker room by the head coach. I don’t believe the refs ejected him, which seemed odd also. Maybe they didn’t see everything.

Coaches teach and demand discipline from the players. So many undisciplined selfish players on every team these days. We see players on TV at college and pro level that can't control their emotions. It is just the world we sadly are living in.  Not just metro and public schools that have these players also. It is such a me society and kids see and learn this behavior from social media outlets and even in adults. Dysfunctional world.

Agreed.  Heard a really good coach say recently "There once was a time, players wanted to win State Championships, now all they care about is their own scholarship.

Me > Team philosophy. Sad.

    • 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.
