Yeah that's very disappointing. Hope he doesn't end up regretting it later on. Either way I wish him the best.

How do you see the season playing out? Catholic played Oak Ridge this summer (I know how hard it is truly tell from summer) but Higgins played. Oak Ridge only had 8 players (but due to injuries Catholic had 8 as well). I still think the Wildcats will win the 3AAA.

I think a lot of it will depend upon our interior play, Q. We lost Javien Johnson who had been a 2 year starter down low. Tyshawn Young and Jared Galloway will be counted on a lot more this upcoming season. Tyshawn got quite a bit of playing time last year, while Galloway got practically none. We still have talent out on the wings with Taijon Jones, Anthony Gibson, and Caleb Martin will end up being pretty good too I think. Another big question is losing Gee at the PG position, who had been a 3 year starter at the point. We have the Smith bros Levert & Marcus taking over for him. Both of those, along with Tee are huge losses. With EJ, Taijon, Anthony, Caleb we still have a lot of talent, but I don't know if we have enough to make state without Tee. The playing field just got a lot more even in the area with him deciding not to play. I just hate it, but whatever he feels is best for him I'm all for it.

    • 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.
