I had a great time win or lose the other night. I always love to take a few pictures so I never forget some of the great places I've been to. I miss the day's when Maryville was a smaller school and played teams like Kingston, Rockwood, Oliver Springs, Loudon and many others. Going to a game like that was like going back in time when we played Rockwood when the Chapman boy's were there.5alyxv.jpg

I don't think Barney goes to any Maryville games anymore period. Ram Tough

I went to the Science Hill game and watched the Alcoa and Heritage game on recordings and the Fulton game on TV. I've seen all the highlights of the Bearden and D-B game plus I'm on the phone constantly with friends at the game telling me what's going on. Your only a kid one time and I'm not going to miss any of his games no matter what or I could never forgive myself. But not only that I have enjoyed watching all the others also.

Pujo I really hate that I didn't go up to Hampton last year. I'm sure I would have had a great time and if I had went I would have looked you up. People laugh at me and say did you go anywhere this year on vacation and I tell them oh yes I go on at least fifteen to twenty a year except their on Friday Nights and a few on Thursday and a couple on Saturday every once in a while. I turn off the world and enjoy myself for those three or four hours with no interruptions.

At the risk of getting in the middle of some of the petty stuff back and forth, I'll say what I know.

 

GCA is going Division II. I do think the TSSAA took the cowardly approach instead of just making the decision to split and instead writing rules that forces most privates to choose to go. For instance, GCA offers a slight discount on the re-enrollment fee each year for paying it by a certain date. That could be considered financial assistance now, so it would penalize all families ifthat was eliminated.

 

I'm not that close to the football program, but I've heard nothing of the rumors in this thread. Pride was right about the 2 buildings (1 of which is totally church funded) and funding. I do know people on the board of the school and there's no way they would allow massive debt to be piling up.

 

I know this is a football thread. I do wish that all GCA posters and fans would show more humility than some do portray. I really appreciate BarneySox and Raven and their honesty that I've seen. But it does bother me when the entire school and/or church is slammed by people over the actions of a few. I really believe we should be going above and beyond in sportsmanship to be the example, but I also understand that teenagers will be teenagers sometimes, no matter what school they attend.

 

Being from Hampton, I have a unique perspective. I see how hard it is for a small private like GCA to build a long lasting fan base. It's not like the community schools like a Hampton where generations have went to the same school and still come out and support kids and grandkids.

    • Yeah.  Kids only transfer in and out of Bearden these days, you know.   That particular poster evidentially has a personal vendetta with Josh Jones.   Consider the source.  And the kid transferring to McCallie is a terrific talent, but an opportunity to go to McCallie on scholarship (and I am assuming that is the case) is one that is very much beneficial both athletically and academically.  McCallie is a great school for both.   Bearden will be fine.  And so will both of those kids who decided with their parents/advisors to go elsewhere.  
    • I think we are conducting interviews now since we have so many wanting to come to school here and play for a real team with a chance to play in front of lot's of fan's and have a chance to win a championship every year.  
    • Esteemed colleagues, On this auspicious Saturday morning, I fortuitously encountered Dr. Satterfield at the Early Bird Cafe, whereupon we engaged in a discourse concerning the pool of candidates vying for a coveted position. Dr. Satterfield, possessing a discerning eye, has graciously shared insights into the contenders, which I shall now relay to you in a structured manner. Eric Vetetoe, though initially absent from my considerations, ascended to the zenith of Clint's roster, poised atop his discerning clipboard as a preeminent candidate. Kyle Gregory, with a coaching demeanor reminiscent of a bygone era, has captivated Clint's admiration. His interview performance, I am informed, left an indelible impression, aligning seamlessly with Clint's nostalgic sentiments. Davy Cothron's cerebral approach to offense, notwithstanding a past championship game setback, garners high praise from Dr. Satterfield. His strategic acumen, it appears, remains unblemished despite previous trials. Brandon Eden's steadfast allegiance to the team, evidenced by his tenure on the creekbank, earns him considerable favor in Clint's estimation. Anticipation lingers as to whether an offer may be extended in recognition of his unwavering dedication. Wesley Satterfield emerges as a compelling candidate following a favorable assessment by Mr. Satterfield himself. The prospect of a Satterfield succession holds a certain allure, embodying continuity and tradition in equal measure. Kyle Shoulders, a surprising entrant in the applicant pool, impresses Clint with his football intellect, potentially positioning him as a contender for the role. Josh Hackett's defensive prowess, particularly in encounters against Trousdale over recent years, earns commendation from Coach Satterfield, underscoring his proficiency in the strategic aspects of the game. John McNeal's track record of success across multiple sports affords him undeniable merit, though the prospect of his acceptance, if offered, remains uncertain. Chad Evitts, a former NFL luminary, presents a unique opportunity, recognized keenly by Mr. Satterfield, to infuse our program with elite expertise and experience. Matt Dyer, revered for his contributions during the regular season, faces scrutiny for his playoff performances, a dichotomy that weighs upon Clint's evaluation. Chuck Gentry, endorsed by Dr. Satterfield, embodies the promise of transformative leadership, drawing parallels to his past triumphs in revitalizing programs akin to ours. Clint extols BJ West's astute management at the middle school echelon, where his strategic maneuver of strategically calibrating the team's schedule to optimize performance stands as a testament to his sagacity and acumen in navigating competitive dynamics. In conclusion, the deliberations surrounding our prospective leadership remain nuanced and multifaceted, underscoring the significance of this decision in shaping the future trajectory of our esteemed institution.  
    • Unfortunately we did after the first hire, that's why we tried to fight it so bad. this is a bad situation for our community and school.
