What I meant was, if the public teams are good, then a school like Ryan will not be ABLE to recruit those kids  and then you will stay the bottom feeder of D2AAA. We both know you have to get some of those athletes to compete in any way in AAA.

Bottom feeder….NICE!

Public schools being better is good the the city…period.  PC beat MBA twice in a row.  More PC’s in the city would be awesome.  Competition comes from a broad base and not 2-3 “elite” programs.  I would love to see Overton and Whites Creek at their former selves.  And not just metro….a Gallatin return would be good as well; just like Dickson County. There are athletes in the area for everyone to prosper….like everyone did years ago.  To say Davidson county only has 150 good athletes yearly would be absurd.  Rather than blame D2’s, what question should be what does the middle school program look like?  There is no feeder program in the city in my opinion.  Ruco and Wilco seem to have them…just like Alcoa and Maryville.  I don’t see the D2’s in that area affecting state championships.

God bless the next coach at Antioch and the Glencliff coach.  They have the biggest challenge in high school coaching history imo.   

I was reading that at Glencliff you have over 40 different first languages being spoken within the student body.  The school is truly the United Nations which is not conducive to having a great football or all around athletic program.  With a vast majority of the Glencliff students being first generation Americans the immigrant parents require the students to work as much as possible.  When the last school bell for the day rings there is a line of construction trucks picking up many of the students and taking them to work the last few hours of daylight.  The same can be said for the students working on the weekends.

There are over 40 spoken at Overton also. They are not the tea-sippers anymore.

    • 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.
