Reading all of this is actually kind of amusing. Do l think Coalfield recruits? Who knows? Maybe. But I also believe that some of those kids want to play for a top notch team. Someone on here earlier said that Wartburg football has been a mess for 50 years? I can't agree, because I played on a Wartburg team that beat Coalfield three years in a row. Granted, that's been many years ago and Coalfield didn't have the program they do now. But I feel that the dogs are in another Larry Davis "slump" now that won't change until he's gone. I hear Wartburg has a good middle school program that's very well coached and I hear they have a kid that's a heck of a player and all this will bode well for the dogs future on the high school level(providing he doesn't go to Coalfield! Iol!) Anyway I look for Coalfield to roll over the dogs this week and yet again Larry Davis can be heard saying, " the effort wasn't there....I just don't understand...."

IF your profile is correct then we played together and I only  played coalfield twice in my 4 years because they was not on the schedule in 86 and 87 and if not what years did you play

The recruiting budget isn't up to snuff if Coalfield is just getting Oakdale, Oliver Springs and Wartburg kids. You could combine those three teams and not win a middle school championship. Greenback has the heavy recruiting budget. Picking fallen apples from Alcoa, Maryville, William Blount, Loudon, Sequoyah and Alabama. I talked to a man that has a nephew that plays at Wartburg and he said they have players that transferred in from Sunbright and Coalfield. They were "talked" into playing football with chance of more playing time from some Wartburg boosters.

I think one of our waterboys went to Wartburg. He was one of the best we had. He will be sorely missed. I hope he gets a car though because that is one long trip by a riding lawnmower.

Well, like I've stated on here before, I never said what the 86 means, but let's just say I played a few years before you and we did beat Coalfield 3 times. One year we were a decided underdog and still won. Yes, I remember the first years Wartburg moved up to 2a, I was probably in the military at that time. But I do remember the years you refer to. That was the Bill Winstead "dear in the headlights" time when the dogs were so overmatched, most games were a debacle and serious beat downs....kinda like now.

Heck, in 2010 Wartburg had a good team. I believe the score was 12-6 that year. Great game!

Right you are, rt. They actually went to the state quarter finals that year and ran into a buzz saw in Boyd Buchannon that resembled an Alabama team! But yes Coalfield did beat them that year in a great game with a packed house. I really would like to see this rivalry competitive again. Even back in my day, it was always a heated, emotional affair, but I had friends that played for Coalfield, not to mention a relative or two.

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      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.
